Knowledge, Learning, Community

At first I was folling my eyes a bit as this article said things like "more concrete signs that your organisation isn't nurturing a culture of innovation... include teams working in siloes, and decisions not being driven by data." But there's a nice turn about half way through where the author cites a Lawrie Phipps blog post (that I didn't see last fall when it came out) reflecting on eCampusOntario's TESS2019 conference. "Phipps cites a successful ecosystem as 'creating an environment where people are able to perform, to do what they need to do, and where necessary reach into the community for support'. In simple terms: performance + creativity = innovation in practice." And this make a lot more sense to me than managerialism masquerading as innovation.
