Good management was the most powerful reason
leading firms failed to stay atop their
industries. Precisely because these firms
listened to their customers, invested
aggressively in technologies that would provide
their customers more and better products of the
sort they wanted, and because they carefully
studied market trends and systematically
allocated investment capital to innovations that
promised the best returns, they lost their
positions of leadership.Clayton Christensen,
The Innovators Dilemma

You must realize that how you invest your human
capital matters as much as how you invest your
financial capital. Its rate of return determines
your future options. Take a job for what it
teaches you, not for what it pays. Instead of a
potential employer asking, Where do you see
yourself in 5 years? youll ask, If I invest my
mental assets with you for 5 years, how much will
they appreciate? How much will my portfolio of
career options grow? Stan Davis Christopher

BE DINING OFF 5 YEARS FROM NOW? THAT WILL BE
WRITTEN UP IN THE TRADE PRESS?)10. Will involve

My wife and I went to a kindergarten
parent-teacher conference and were informed that
our budding refrigerator artist, Christopher,
would be receiving a grade of Unsatisfactory in
art. We were shocked. How could any childlet
alone our childreceive a poor grade in art at
such a young age? His teacher informed us that he
had refused to color within the lines, which was
a state requirement for demonstrating
grade-level motor skills. Jordan Ayan, AHA!
125
How many artists are there in the room? Would
you please raise your hands. FIRST GRADE En mass
the children leapt from their seats, arms waving.
Every child was an artist. SECOND GRADE About
half the kids raised their hands, shoulder high,
no higher. The hands were still. THIRD GRADE At
best, 10 kids out of 30 would raise a hand,
tentatively, self-consciously. By the time I
reached SIXTH GRADE, no more than one or two kids
raised their hands, and then ever so slightly,
betraying a fear of being identified by the group
as a closet artist. The point is Every school
I visited was was participating in the
suppression of creative genius.Gordon

During the first years of life, youngsters all

Howard Gardner, The Unschooled Mind
134
Education, at best, is ecstatic. At its best,
its most unfettered, the moment of learning is a
moment of delight. This essential and obvious
truth is demonstrated for us every day by the
baby and the preschool child. When joy is
absent, the effectiveness of the learning
process falls and falls until the human being is
operating hesitantly, grudgingly,
fearfully.George Leonard, Education and
Ecstasy 1968

Education3MLearning is a normal state.Children
are learnavores.Prodigious feats of learning are
common as dirt. Watch an H.S. QB studying game
film.We learn at different rates.We learn in
different ways.Boys and girls learn very
differently.In a class of 25, there are 25
different trajectories.Learning in 40-minutes
blocks is bullshit.Learning for tests is utterly
insane.There are numerous rigorous evaluation
schemes, of which testing is but oneand
abnormal, by real world standards.
140
Education3MWe learn most/fastest/most
completely when we are passionate about what we
are learning and it matters to us. Salience
rules! Think EBI/LBI Education by
Interest/Learning by Internship.Classrooms are

Education3MAll thisthe right stufffits the
NWW/New World of Work hand-in-glove. NWW Age
of Creativity.U.S. schools circa 2001 are a
vestige of the Prussian-Fordist model, more
interested in shaping behavior than stoking the
fires of lifelong learning.Cutting art-music
budgets is truly dumb.Learning is a matter of
Intensity of Engagement, not elapsed time.
Aargh 11 minutes on the Battle of
Gettysburg.Teachers need enough
space-time-flexibility to get to know kids as
individuals.Scientific discovery processes and
the teaching of science are utterly at odds.
Exploration vs. spoon-feeding.
142
Education3MOur toughest learning
achievementmastering our native languagedoes
not require schools, or even competent parents.
It does require a desperate need-to-know.Great
teachers are great learners, not
imparters-of-knowledge.Great teachers ask great
questionsthat launch kids on lifelong
quests.The world is not about right wrong
answers it is about the pursuit of increasingly
sophisticated questionsjust ask a ski instructor
or neurosurgeon.
143
Education3MMost schools spend most of their
time setting up contexts in which kids learn not
to like particular subjects. Evidence shows that
such anti-learning sticks!Vigorous exploration
is normal until you are incarcerated in a
school.Bite size education-learning is neither
education nor learning.Learning takes place
rapidly on the cheerleading squad, the football
team, the school newspaper, the drama club, at
the after-class job--just not in the
hyper-structured classroom.
144
Education3MThe school reform movement is a
giant step backwards embracing the
Prussian-Fordist paradigm with renewed vigorat
exactly the wrong time.There are large numbers
of superb schools, superb principals, superb
teachers sadly, they not only fail to infect the
largely timid rest, but are ordinarily
supplanted by wusses wimps.Alas, the teaching
profession does not ordinarily attract cool
dudes dudettes.Schools of education should
by and large have their charters revoked.
145
Education3MEducation must develop in youth
the capabilities for engaging in intense
concentrated involvement in an activity. James
Coleman, 1974. Hint It doesnt. Hint
Understatement.Stability is dead education
must therefore educate for an unknowable,
ambiguous, changing future thence, learning to
learn change is far more important than mastery
of a static body of facts.

supplier relationships. An SSR supplier is not
likely to function as any more than a mirror to
your organization. Fringe suppliers that offer
innovative business practices need not apply.

Practice variation is not caused by bad or

consequence of a system that systematically
tracks neither its processes nor its outcomes,

THE BASE CASE I am a design fanatic.
Personally, though not artistic, Im a
cool-stuff guy. I love what I love and I hate
what I hate. Openly. But it goes much
further, far beyond the personal. Design has
become a professional obsession. I SIMPLY
BELIEVE THAT DESIGN PER SE IS THE PRINCIPAL
REASON FOR EMOTIONAL ATTACHMENT or detachment
RELATIVE TO A PRODUCT OR SERVICE OR EXPERIENCE.
Design, as I see it, is arguably the 1
determinant of whether a product-service-experienc
e stands out or doesnt. Furthermore, its one
of those things that damn few companies put
consistently on the front burner.

Most companies tend to equate branding with the
companys marketing. Design a new marketing
campaign and, voila, youre on course. They are
wrong. The task is much bigger. It is about
fulfilling our potential not about a new logo,
no matter how clever. WHAT IS MY MISSION IN
LIFE? WHAT DO I WANT TO CONVEY TO PEOPLE? HOW
DO I MAKE SURE THAT WHAT I HAVE TO OFFER THE
WORLD IS ACTUALLY UNIQUE? The brand has to give
of itself, the company has to give of itself, the
management has to give of itself. To put it
bluntly, it is a matter of whether or not you
want to be UNIQUE NOW.Jesper Kunde, A
Unique Moment
267
We are in the twilight of a society based on
data. As information and intelligence become the
domain of computers, society will place more
value on the one human ability that cannot be
automated emotion. Imagination, myth, ritual -
the language of emotion - will affect everything
from our purchasing decisions to how we work with
others. Companies will thrive on the basis of
their stories and myths. Companies will need to
understand that their products are less important
than their stories.Rolf Jensen, Copenhagen
