Learning and Working in the Collaborative Age

Seems like Bill Gates is not the only one to have a foundation that cares about education, but George Lucas has has one1. I discovered in its website a terrific presentation on the new way education and businesses should look at collaboration and the profile they should be looking for.







Just a couple of notes from the presentation: First a portfolio is way more important than résumés. The latter reveals what you could do while the former tells what you have really done. When I was watching it, I heard a phrase that really expresses what an innovator is:

“the core skill of innovators is error-recovery, not failure-avoidance”
