  • That's Not Turbulence, Chicken Little, It's Really Opportunity
    "...if your organization has formal plans but no vision, and if you then try to control your future so rigidly that you cannot adapt en route, then every unpredicted change you encounter will make you feel as if the sky is falling."
    - Henry Mintzburg
    Planning Review, Nov-Dec 1994
  • "Technology does not drive change. Technology enables change. It's our collective cultural response to the options and opportunities presented by technology that drives change."
    - Paul Saffo

  • "The model to replace industrial age education isn't clear yet. But the idea that a person stands in front of the room stuffing information into students like grain into a duck is changing to the idea that teaching is about being a wise companion and advisor."
    - Paul Saffo

  • "INFORMATION TECHNOLOGY CAN BE DONE RIGHT TO MAKE THAT POSSIBLE. It is a device where mentors can have INFLUENCE and INTERACTION with large numbers of learners."
    - Paul Saffo

  • "Thirty years from now the big university campuses will be relics. Universities won't survive. It's as large a change as when we first got the printed book."
    - Peter Drucker

  • Will we? What are the Facts?
    Watch out for smoke and mirrors.
    Follow the money!

  • 1991: "It's half-time in the information revolution."
    - Michael Schrage

  • Today:
    • Half of knowledge is to know where to find the knowledge.

    • The U.S. Economy is now mostly about Information Technology!

  • We are moving to the Knowledge Society and it can't be all about money.....

  • "I think higher education represents the best blend of age, diversity, technological resources, sophisticated designers and consumers of design. There are going to be much more and better idea-explosions that emanate, reverberate from higher education......."
    - Michael Schrage

  • "These technologies are really much more about creating and managing new relationships than creating and managing old information or new information."
    - Michael Schrage

  • The WWW and community
    • "The Web would be entirely different if it had been based on a more dynamic metaphor than the publishing metaphor."

      "How would the WWW be different if we talked about designing things to support conversations rather than designing to support posting?"
