FORWARD

Revolutions tend to pass through three phases . it will never work , it might work but it’s not worth doing and finally I told you this was a good idea 🙂 .

In the coming century spelling and number competence are going to be less and less important .We need more visionaries , more big picture thinkers, more einsteins .We need a workforce who are wired to discover , innovate and explore . We need to screen for imagination, connection, communication and exploration . We need to screen for a population who are comfortable with complexity and uncertainty .

After years on the outside our heretical views can now be framed as what they are . Practical necessary adaptions to a modern world with a huge upside . Innovation takes many forms it can be a machine or it can be a new process or approach designed to multiply inputs . increasing long term productivity and improving sustainable long term outcomes.

While a system designed to screen out all our original thinkers never made economic sense . The stakes have been raised . Assigning square pegs to round holes is’nt just couter productive it’s growth destroying . Innovate or Die .

For reference purposes when it comes to clinical populations we can highly recommend accessible texts by Thomas G West .Award winning author of In The Mind’s Eye and Thinking Like Einstein [dyslexia ] . Temple Grandin Thinking In Pictures [ high functioning autism / aspergers ]. Linda B Silverman author of Upside Down Brilliance [Adhd] and Doctor Helen Taylor

For general interest we can highly recommend . Carmin Gallo author of Talk Like Ted and the Presentation secrets of Steve Jobs . David Eaglamn presenter and author of The Brain and Livewired .Superforecasting By Phillip Tetlock and Dan Gardner . Misbehaving By Richard Thaler Thinking. Fast and slow by Dany Kahneman and the coming wave by Mustafa Suleyman .

We are not advocating a free pass. We are advocating adaptation . Where strengths are used to bypass weakness .To quote Einstein the defintion of insanity is doing the same thing over and expecting a different result .

It’s time for a change .
