1. Design for SPEED
2. Experiential immersion: “doing is the new diploma”, but you can’t drive w/o a license
3. Guru-tagging: teaching culture that’s rewarding and rewarded
4. Zero tolerance for zero learning
“The greatest danger in times of turbulence is not the turbulence – it is to act with yesterday’s logic.” - Peter Drucker
