What if... new metaphors for organizational change?


What if we were to talk about the challenge of organizational growth, transformation, and innovation with new metaphors?

Less “drinking from the firehose.” More “going on a journey.”

Less “engineering change.” More “leading like a gardener.”

Less “Intended Learning.” More “Emergent Learning.”

The metaphors we use organize the way we approach change. Choose wisely.

They can apply for a spot in the October Expedition.

School leaders can also apply to send a team of students by contacting us directly.
