50. The world is hungry for a new kind of
leadership. Amid the challenges of
2020, two truths became evident. More
companies than ever have embraced
the axiom that every business is a
technology business, and they’ve
ignited a new era of exponential
transformation as technology
continuously reshapes industries and
the human experience. Now, as we
begin shaping our post-pandemic
reality, companies must learn to master
change.

The DNA in your cells is packaged into 46
chromosomes in the nucleus. As well as being a
naturally helical molecule, DNA is supercoiled using
enzymes so that it takes up less space.
Try holding a piece of string at one end, and
twisting the other. As you add twist, the string
creates coils of coils; and eventually, coils of coils of
coils. Your DNA is arranged as a coil of coils of coils
of coils of coils! This allows the 3 billion base pairs
in each cell to fit into a space just 6 microns across.
If you stretched the DNA in one cell all the way out,
it would be about 2m long and all the DNA in all
your cells put together would be about twice the
diameter of the Solar System.
How long is your DNA?
Twice around the solar system

101. Perspective
• 1970s – 1990s; IBM, Apple, Microsoft were vying for the personal
computer space. They each had a few hundred million dollars. They all
ended up winning in various ways and influenced the world as we know
it.
• 2015 – 2021; Apple, Microsoft, Facebook, Amazon are all playing in the
immersive learning/metaverse space. The difference is they all have a
few trillion dollars and have proven this space.
• ORU has become a clear leader in this space on more fronts than most
realize. (technology, buildings, thought-leadership, awards, credibility,
spiritual reasoning).

102. One might say ...
We have the capabilities of extending God’s reality of whole person
education to all nations, tribes, tongues, people, and generations.

103. One could say …
We are allowing God’s love to be ‘overlaid’ to all nations, tribes, tongues,
people, and generations using all means possible.
Education is the key … as the entire earth will be filled with the knowledge of
glory of the Lord, as much as the water covers the seas.

126. How do we connect the ‘future’ to the ‘present’ to
design success
Rule 1 - Simplify technology with convergence and low investment.
Rule 2 - Prioritize the best ‘playing’ technologies and ‘learning’ technologies.
Rule 3 - Understand and apply ‘Blooms Taxonomy’ to transfer knowledge with the
simplest and most cost effective technologies.
Rule 4 – Accelerate your ‘mind’s eye’ about what you know and believe. The
world has shifted, learning has shifted, and technology has shifted.
Rule 5 - Be careful of educational trend reports, as they assume you are
operating in a slow and risk adverse mind-set.
Rule 6 - Make every effort to transform education and student outcomes vs.
disrupt them.
