About Us
Thinksmart is the brainchild of ex-engineers with more than 20 years of combined experience in the semiconductor industry. Driven by our love for anything technology-related , as well as creative training methods honed over the years of interacting with young engineers, Thinksmart was born in 2006.
Knowledge improvement with problem solving skills mastery has always been our coaching focus. And, we never lose sight of the importance of developing participants into critical thinkers and good communicators.
We believe strongly in unlocking every participant’s intrinsic motivation in learning before imparting them with the metacognitive awareness to unlearn old habits while relearning new ones. We aim to have every participant in our programs unlearn and relearn in a continuous, self-directed manner so that each of them eventually acquires the growth mindset that can positively impact your organization.
