A FUTURE FORWARD COLLEGE 2014

1. A FUTURE FORWARD COLLEGE 2014 Preparing For a World That Doesn’t Exist

2. “In an adaptive system (i.e. one that is becoming fitter), learning – the system’s capacity to change effectively – then takes the form of the alignment of lower level elements with what lies in the future – a growing as yet unseen pattern. This is the reverse of normal learning, which is based on reasoning and past experience.” ….Richard Ogle Smart World

15. Principle Eleven - Interdependency • A World of Non-Linearity • Everything Is Connected • Systems Are Key • Look For Why You Agree and Build On It

16. Principle Twelve – Transformational Coaches • Work Within a Futures Context • Seed New Ways of Getting to Hmmm? • Create Interlocking Networks of Ideas, People and Processes

17. The “velocity” of knowledge is leading us to a world of “just-in-time knowledge”; the result being the reality that the relationship between educational institutions and students is set to change; primarily, from a period of short term, concentrated knowledge delivery, to one more related to the lifelong, ongoing process of creativity and innovation. …..Jim Carroll
