How To Come Up With Great Ideas and Actually Make Them Happen

by Ewan McIntosh, McIntosh Ewan

What could schools ever learn from luxury fashion houses, global tech, media and telecoms companies, and the world's biggest businesses of tomorrow - the startups? I work in schools and universities as well as in creative organisations and I've discovered there is much each could learn from the other when it comes to leading innovation. In the time I spend with school leaders and teachers, I see many struggling with overload, rejection and abortive attempts at innovation. Why does the formal education sector seem to have so much pain in creating fast change? And are the challenges faced in education any different to those faced by the fashion, media or telecoms companies? This book will help you achieve ambitious visions for learning through swift innovation. We will borrow from the people who invent what we all end up using tomorrow, create much from very little, and refine their ideas with a swiftness few of those in larger corporations, Government or schools have seen.

This was an utter waste of my time. The book should be titled: If you Have a Great Idea, Here are a Few Ways to Maybe Make it Happen. So much of this book was obviously clear to the author but not made clear to the reader.
