Implications forschool leaders

2. The existing educational model is not a given.
3. All of this is going to sneak up on most school organizations.
Effective leadership fordisruptive innovations
1. Good organizations with good people will disappear if they don’t understand the ‘natural laws’ of disruptive innovation.
2. It’s very difficult for existing successful organizations to become dominant players in the new market.
3. It’s much easier to create a new organization - or buy one - than it is to turn an existing organization around.
4. It’s difficult to analyze the unknowable.
5. First-mover advantage is important when it comes to disruptive innovations.
4. To survive, school organizations must structure themselves to comply with the ‘natural laws’ of disruptive innovations.
