Business School for KaosPilots

The program accommodates only 30 KaosPilots per flight; the most recent group was chosen from more than 600 applicants from all over Scandinavia.

"We consciously try to avoid what we call `mental incest,'" Elbaek says. "Each class must be able to function as a team and must consist of young men and women with a different range of experience. We expect them to learn from each other. If they are to become good project leaders and problem solvers, they have to learn to cooperate with people who have totally different backgrounds."
