“We’re looking at the profiles of what it means to be effective in the 21st century. […] Resilience will be the defining concept. When challenged and bent, you learn and bounce back stronger.”

Social network patterns, teamwork effectiveness and
initiation of relationships
Questioning, arguing and search behaviours reveal intrinsic curiosity
and epistemic commitments

patterns reveal how you see
connections between ideas
Perseverance, grit, tenacity; overcoming

behavioural and somatic traces
