A New View of Change
People generally agree that today’s change is different. It is not necessarily connected to the past or indicative of the future.
Today’s change is discontinuous, requiring total flexibility. There seem to be very few cyclical trends or linear progressions.

People and Change
“ To an ever increasing extent, in less time than people need to get comfortable with one set of circumstances, they find themselves in a completely new set. Can some way be found to get a much better match between the rate of change of the world and the rate of people’s adaptation? When the problem is put that way, there seems to be only two ways it might be solved: Teach people to adapt faster, or slow down the rate of change.” Stanley Schmidt --editor of Analog

Change Is A Process
Past habits for addressing change simply won’t work. Change must be recognized as a process, not an event.
The world within our grasp is indeed a new world, demanding continuous learning, taking risk, viewing new information and communication, and creating problem solving.

The Changing Paradigm
In “Future Edge” Barker makes a distinction between management and leadership. You manage within a paradigm. You lead between paradigms. Most of education’s leadership are managing within today’s teaching and learning paradigm when what we need is leadership toward tomorrow’s paradigm.

Walt Disney’s Vision
The idea of Disneyland is a simple one. It will be a place for people to find happiness and knowledge. It will be a place for parents and children to spend pleasant times in one another’s company: a place for teachers and pupils to discover greater ways of understanding and education. Here the older generation can recapture the nostalgia of days gone by, and the younger generation can savor the challenge of the future. Here will be the wonders of Nature and man for all to see and understand. Disneyland will be based upon and dedicated to the ideas, the dreams and hard facts that have created America. And it will be uniquely equipped to dramatize these dreams and facts and send them forth as a source of courage and inspiration to all the world.
Disneyland will be something of a fair, an exhibition, a playground, a community center, a museum of living facts, and a showplace of beauty and magic. It will be filled with the accomplishments, the joys and hopes of the world we live in. And it will remind us and show us how to make those wonders part of our own lives.

CHAOS
Before the beginning of great brilliance, there must be chaos. Before a brilliant person begins something great, they must look foolish to the crowd. from I Ching
