Ito: There are nine or so principles to work in a world like
this:
- Resilience instead of strength,
which means you want to yield and allow failure and you
bounce back instead of trying to resist failure.
- You pull instead of push. That
means you pull the resources from the network as you need
them, as opposed to centrally stocking them and controlling
them.
- You want to take risk instead of
focusing on safety.
- You want to focus on the system
instead of objects.
- You want to have good compasses not
maps.
- You want to work on practice
instead of theory. Because sometimes you don't know why it
works, but what is important is that it is working, not that
you have some theory around it.
- It disobedience instead of
compliance. You don't get a Nobel Prize for doing what you
are told. Too much of school is about obedience, we should
really be celebrating disobedience.
- It's the crowd instead of
experts.
- It's a focus on learning instead of
education.
