“The future of schools lies in networks rather than
hierarchies, in lateral rather than vertical organisations.
Networks cannot be managed the same way that
hierarchies are managed. Social networking is a different
way of organising.” (Professor Richard Elmore)
Explicitly teaching people to work in teams
“The knowledge-based, twenty-first-
century organization depends on cross-
disciplinary collaboration, flattened
hierarchies, and continuous
innovation”
Amy Edmondson

“Workers learn more in the coffee room than in the classroom. They
discover how to do their jobs through informal learning: talking,
observing others, trial-and-error, and simply working with people in the
know.” (Jay Cross)
Become more intentional about informal learning
“The successful organization of the future will have two organizational
structures: a Hierarchy, and a more teaming, egalitarian, and adaptive Network”
(Kotter, 2014).

“There is clear consensus that the future now
emerging will be extremely different from anything
we have ever known in the past. It is a difference,
not of degree, but of kind.”
Supporting educators to collaboratively
design and implement powerful
practices to lift learning outcomes for
high potential learners.
“Learned helplessness in the face of this dysfunction is the
disease of a dying institution.”
