Before management came to dominate late 20th century business strategy, opportunity expanded by exploration. Dwight Gibson guides business executives on growth expeditions in the model of the historic explorers.

 

His time proven exploration framework, ExPLORE℠, comes from senior level expertise in international business, philanthropy and organizational growth. The ExPLORE℠ methodology creatively enables executives, companies, and organizations to innovate their mission, leverage their insight and execute best practices amidst challenging environments locally and internationally.

 

Exploration Group clients are typically executives of international, national or regional enterprise organizations in transition. These leaders require discreet insight for their most innovative and aspirational ambitions.

 

Dwight’s professional alliances and personal relationships span the globe, while his engaging style has helped generate millions of dollars in innovation and philanthropy. He is committed to restoring vocational exploration for business in the 21st century. Dwight believes we live in a fascinating and glorious universe and he is curious about most everything in it.
