Help and Support everybody around the world

When we create opportunities for students to collaborate with classmates, whether in person or connect asynchronously, we help them to build skills that will benefit them in the future.

"StoryWeaver is an educational platform that draws on collaborative team work to develop ‘a rich digital repository of diverse children’s stories from Pratham Books.’  ..."

In his book The Seventh Sense, Joshua Cooper Ramo makes the point that we now live in a world where “thick connection is normal” and the mastery of this connection is the essential skill of the age. This is true for everyone, but it is particularly true of our leaders – political, religious, and business.
Not surprisingly, tech companies – and their executives – get it. Uber and Lyft use algorithm “managers” to dispatch drivers, while Waze outperforms my Volvo’s sat nav by predicting the best route based on the real-time and stored driving data of its users.
But, really, business leaders in all industries need to master the network, not in some mid-distant future, but now. We are interacting with algorithms every day, in ways so mundane that we fail to notice (Google, you auto-complete me). And in professions as diverse as medicine, manufacturing, and law, we see viable examples of human-machine teams.
So how does one lead in the age of algorithms? To lead is to master the network. 
This topic deserves – and has already garnered – significant study elsewhere. But for the purposes of exploring at a high level – and frankly, for my personal commitment to my own development – I set out here to address four questions:
Will we need leaders?
What will leaders do?
What skills do they require?
Who will lead?

that it’s important for young people to become economically independent and self-sufficient. But to do that, he argues, they shouldn’t all learn the same thing. Instead, they should be learning to be adaptable, to be innovative, to flow with change, to collaborate and other globalized skills that will apply to whatever area of work they are passionate about pursuing. An education can help expose students to different life paths and support them in finding their passions, while giving them the transferable skills to attack any problem.

"People who are future literate are more skilled at imagining the future and more able to prepare, recover and invent as changes occur. Our schools and universities should nurture people who can imagine beyond pre-existing paradigms to inspire hope and foster collaboration ..."

Debate: a formal discussion, often in front of an audience, in which two or more people put forward opposing views on a particular subject; any general discussion on a subject, not necessarily in one place or at one time. 13th Century, from French ‘debatre’ meaning ‘to discuss’. Chambers Dictionary.

The importance of fair discussion and a chance to challenge and explore new opinions and ideas cannot be overstated.

Leaders, debating is your chance to explain what you know, win supporters for your strategies and probe and improve the goings-on throughout the company.

Team-members, innovate in a collaborative and iterative manner by putting your solutions through a debate.

Shareholders, find out whether a strategy is in your best interest, or decide how to move forward.

Staff, solve problems and improve transparency and communication by talking openly about issues and opinions.

Debating in the workplace can have a number of uses:
