ABSTRACT

Computing power allows organizations to achieve “scale without mass” where they can replicate themselves without investing in the infrastructure needed in traditional “bricks and mortar” enterprises. Organizations cannot run without sophisticated computer systems that speed up, standardize, monitor, and drive business processes. The challenges facing the C-Suite is that they are products of the schooling system and that the people who are entering their organizations are the same standardized product. Before the industrial revolution, limited schooling was available to the rich. School is a bell-ridden system, regulating the lives of scholars in preparation for factory work. The modern workplace has no bells or sirens, indeed often has no prescribed work hours. Indeed, there is sometimes no set workplace, yet school puts kids in classes. Schools cater for only two of the eight or nine intelligences that children bring to class.
