Where are the Changemakers?

We’ve built systems that measure compliance and replication while rewarding logical reasoning and mastery. AI can already do all this better. And we haven’t nourished these skills for decades.

What AI cannot do is decide the frame is wrong. We need those who ask why instead of how. Who wrote in pen, although they were told to use a pencil. We've branded them: the problem.

"We don't have an innovation shortage. We have a measurement problem. And measurement problems are design choices."

She earned a Black Belt in Innovation Management, published ten books when she was thirtysomething, was voted most trusted teacher by the kids of an alternative school in Berlin, and is currently researching Evolutionary Intelligence: the unmeasured capacity that changemakers carry.

Her career is a game of Twister with a single red line: change.
