1) How do we shorten the iteration

cycle?

Process | Leadership Public Schools

Leadership Public Schools is on a mission to address the most

challenging issues in urban high school education. We have

deliberately structured ourselves as an R & D organization focused on

developing a range of technology-enhanced instructional and data

tools and innovation processes that are replicable and cost effective for

both charter and traditional schools. All of our products and processes

begin from a collaborative, iterative design process and move through the

prototype, alpha and beta phases with many feedback points based on

qualitative and quantitative data from key stakeholders – the teachers

and students.

2) How do we redefine the

problem?

Make version 2.0 of an incubator.

3) How do we break the curse of

knowledge?
