"The university system in 2014, it’s like the Catholic Church circa 1514. There’s less diversity, so you have the Dominicans and Franciscans and all these different orders, whereas the diversity between say the Harvard and Stanford poli6cal science department is considerably less. But it is sort you have this priestly class of professors that doesn’t do very much work, people are buying indulgences in the form of amassing enormous debt for the sort of the secular salva6on that a diploma represents.” – Peter Thiel, 2014

“Just an overall all-rounded engineer, not just a technician. A human, not just a problem solver.”

You learn courage from those who 1. Have courage to check their egos, 2. Trust you before you trust yourself, 3. Are open to your exploration & learning.

Ain’t Broke, Don’t Fix It
It’s Broke, What is “It” & How Did “It” Get Broke
What’s Forcing Change? What is Engineering? What is Educa6on?
Shallow: Change happens Shallow: Math, facts, physics
Deep: Techno-‐economic forces Deep: Broadly human social prac6ce
Shallow: Mastery of fixed body of facts & knowledge
Deep:: Unleashing as learner & designer.
Get “It,” But How Do We “Fix It” (Change)?
Personal Change Organiza6onal Change
Shallow: Change teaching/pedagogy Shallow: Fund change center/project
Deep: Authen6c & emo6onal engagement Deep: Emo6onal, cultural change management process
Get “Change,” But How Do We Act?
Correc6on
Shallow: plan/execute at scale.
Deep: Effectuate on li0le bets.
Mo6va6on
Shallow: Specify & grade
Deep: Autonomy, mastery & purpose.
Org Forms
Shallow: Commi0ees
Deep: Incubator, dual op system.
Ar6facts
Shallow: ppts & emails
Deep: complex interlocking game.
Stories
Shallow: Stories unimportant.
Deep: S6cky language reframes.

7 Key Practices for Transformation Success
• Assessment of aspirations & readiness. • Coalition of the willing (no boobirds). • Powered by intrinsic motivation (no or limited
incentives). • Dual operating system (no or limited committees). • Sharp skills training for faculty & students (NLQ +
speech acts + story + teamwork + change management).
• E!ectuate, pilots & small bets/wins (limited planning + action).
• Generating & telling story (more than PR ontological).
