“As things stand, the educational systems around the world do not have fully developed mechanisms for continuously updating how education is done in the face of technological disruptions.

And, indeed, this is the crux of the matter: The second pathway from the old paradigm of education to the new paradigm involves an active, deliberate, and coordinated effort to make the educational systems not only adapt to the advent of existing technologies, but making them adaptable (and self-adapting) to future disruptions.

One of our interviewees, serial entrepreneur and author Tomas Björkman, refers to the acronym VUCA when describing the development of global society: It is increasingly Volatile, Uncertain, Complex, and Ambiguous.

The question naturally presents itself, if we are failing the young generation—and the generations to follow—by insufficiently gearing the educational systems for this kind of future? What could be more confusing and detrimental to human needs of security, stability, and meaning-making, than leaving a whole generation to a world that is more volatile, uncertain, complex, and ambiguous than they were prepared for, or made to expect?”
