The Global Curriculum Orbit TM (GCO) challenges youth to show that entrepreneurship, innovation, and resiliency are building blocks to accelerate the purposeful and profitable transition to more sustainable and diversified economies. We are rethinking industry engagement with school education to bring students into entrepreneurship ecosystems, digital technologies, and collaborative innovation early so they can build the businesses of tomorrow today. This formidable next generation of innovative, solutions-oriented entrepreneurs will lead the way in reimagining and creating new industries, generate new wealth and have the skillsets to strategically manage the turbulence and complexity of our world.

Business as unusual

better reflects the dynamic circumstances organisations around the world are facing post-COVID 19. The current global context – today – calls for a different approach – an approach that deals with what is happening worldwide but one which will also deal with the residual and possibly permanent effects that are unfolding.

Resiliency and the changing nature of work

Technology is changing how and where people work and the terms on which they work.  At The Culver Group Inc, we have been leapfrogging to keep up, converting face to face programmes into interactive, virtual collaborations, connecting our groups from around the world.  We are Zooming, MSTeaming, Skyping at all hours of the day and night in multiple time zones.  We are investing in innovative software, designing creative collaboration sessions with Miro and creating connected learning spaces on digital transformation for learning platforms such as Claned.  We are shifting to online collaborative workspaces to enable critical and creative thinking, brainstorming, analysis and project management.  As we have seen during this COVID-19 crisis, these types of virtual tools are needed now more than ever.

Uncertainty calls for urgent agility

As countries tackle the widening income disparity, environmental issues, employment, education, security and gender inequality, the impact of the current pandemic is having a profound effect on the global economy. Collaboration, co-creating and co-production are needed to achieve faster and more impactful outcomes.  Governments, businesses and civil society need to adapt quickly to bring a wider range of perspectives into policy decisions and implementation. Emergencies, in particular, cause governments to step up their rates of intervention and creative thinking grounded in human-centred policies.

Design thinking helps people get things done

Design thinking builds resiliency into organisations. It is a process to solve wicked, complex problems, transforming the way organisations develop products, services, processes and strategies. We use design thinking as a way to collaborate across differences to transform whole systems and address complex challenges. We have seen that the smallest of events can have large impacts, and so a profound understanding of the complex interrelationship of the system-of-things is required. We also use design thinking as a platform for information transparency, simplicity, focusing on what is important, leveraging digital technology and creating user-centred solutions that help organisations pivot quickly, deliver on-demand, be agile and build up resilience to disruption.
