2. The transformation
We have to go from…
an industrial model of education…
based on linearity and conformity and
batching people… to a model based
more on principles of agriculture…
Human flourishing is not a
mechanical process; it's an organic
process. And you cannot predict the
outcome of human development. All
you can do, like a farmer, is create
the conditions under which they
will begin to flourish.
Sir Ken
Robinson

5. Dealing with VUCA

ouractions?
How much do we know about the situation?
Complexity Volatility
Ambiguity Uncertainty
Causal relationships are completely
unclear. No precedents exists you
face "unknown unknowns.
Despite a lack of other information
the event's basic cause and
effect are known. Change is
possible but not a given.
The challenge is unexpected or
unstable and may be of
unknown duration but it's not
necessarily hard to understand;
knowledge about the
transformation is widely and
often available.
Our current situation has many
interconnected parts and
variables. Some information is
available or can be predicted but
the volume or nature of it will be
overwhelming to process.
