What does this mean for us?

•“Today’s change is not just more rapid, more complex, more turbulent, more unpredictable. Today’s change is unlike any encountered before. The surprising fact is that change itself has changed. We’ve reached Breakpoint. At Breakpoint the rule is change is so sharp that continuing to use the old rules not only doesn’t work, it erects great, sometimes insurmountable, barriers to success.” Land/Jarman: Breakpoint and Beyond

Change is supported only by a strong educational environment which fosters innovation, equity and supports changing needs

Economic Growth is built on Innovation and Evolution directly related to Change
