225 - Katherine Prince on Navigating the Future of Learning

Today we're listening in on a conversation Tom had with Katherine Prince. Katherine leads the foresight practice at KnowledgeWorks as the Vice President of Strategic Foresight. In this role she has held for the last 9 months, Katherine leads their exploration of the future of learning, creates the strategy for their strategic foresight work, speaks and writes about the trends shaping education over the next decade, and helps education stakeholders strategize about how to become active agents of change in shaping the future. An important part of KnowledgeWorks' foresight practice is its 10-year forecasts. Every couple of years since 2006, they issue a new one. Their fifth one was released last year and is called, "Navigating the Future of Learning." And just this past June, they recently released a strategy guide that is responding to that forecast. The strategy guide emphasizes what education stakeholders can do to respond to these changes and trends outlined in their forecast. Listen in to hear Katherine describe the strategy guide with Tom, explaining the five driving trends and five opportunity areas for building effective strategies!
