Weblogg-ed » It’s Riskier Not to Change–”Tribes”

Wil Richardson writes about change in education, quoting Clay Shirky and, more prominently, Seth Godin's book "Tribes." Richardson quotes a part of "Tribes" that talks about the music industry's failure to react to changes in the world around them. He then suggests that we think of education instead of music. A couple of great quotes:
"The safer you play your plans for the future, the riskier it actually is. That’s because the world is certainly, definitely, and more than possibly changing."
and
"In every organization, everyone rises to the level at which they become paralyzed with fear."
