Using Systems Thinking to (re) Create Education — Trace Pickering

Amer­i­can edu­ca­tion is not bro­ken, it is obso­lete. As such, reform is about fix­ing what is bro­ken and trans­for­ma­tion is about cre­at­ing the future. This ses­sion explores how socio-cul­tur­al sys­tems think­ing can save com­mu­ni­ties from repeat­ing the same non-solu­tions to the ​“edu­ca­tion prob­lem” all over again.

Next Video Using Kata to Address Wicked Problems in Safety — Will Lichtig 

Con­struc­tion remains a dead­ly indus­try — over 700 work­ers are injured on a job­site every­day, and 3 are killed. Despite improved safe­ty tech­nol­o­gy, out­comes have been stag­nant. Now, com­pa­nies are begin­ning to apply lean think­ing to improve con­struc­tion safe­ty. Hav­ing seen dra­mat­ic improve­ments as a result of insti­tut­ing a Con­tin­u­ous Safe­ty improve­ment pro­gram, The Boldt Com­pa­ny has begun using the rou­tine of a ​“Kata” to devel­op a new dis­ci­pline to improv­ing con­struc­tion safety.
