ofmy

It

culminatesexciting

byour

ofglobal

experts.The

best

aspect

ofthis

effort

is

not

to“tell

about

today.

Rather,this

is

a

thoughtfulframework

for

thinking

about

innovation

focused

on

Hurdles,

Accelerators

and,

last

but

not

least,

TechEnablers.Too

often,EdTechstalwarts

start

with

the

technology

when

advocating

innovation.

I

lovethat

weflip

that

tendencyand

start

with

the

“Why”

(Hurdles).My

hope

is

you

will

use

the

2024report

tospark

a

conversation

about

what

youare

trying

tosolve

in

your

Maybe

you

will

Maybe

not.

OF

IN

INDUSTRIAL

REVOLUTION“Change

—

without

there

no

—

in

(KimFlintoff,

the

Internet

ofThings,

are

all

(Gen

is

allowing

And

while

Gen

may

provide

additional

remain

the

ones

who

are

the

drivers

ofinnovation.“I

see

Gen

AI

as

another

tool

in

the

weshould

use,

such

as

the

calculator

and

did

however,they

give

These

(MichaelLambert,
