I don't have the space to give this post the attention it deserves, but I'll highlight a couple of points: first, the need to invest in people first, technology second; and second, the question of ethics with respect to an educational instituition's operational side (ie., the but that runs the buildings, in frastructure and technology). "Shifting 'institutional cultures towards greater ambition, experimentation and the sharing of/ learning from that experimentation' will not happen by buying everyone a license for . That's the worst kind of esssentialist and instrumentalist thinking. Organisational culture work is people centered work and requires us to grapple with complexity and human messiness."
