I’ve been thinking about how we have organized and packaged education in order to achieve intended purposes. My thinking has led me to believe that we have some cross-purposes at work.

Currently, education falls into two broad product categories: 1) transactional (cheap, ubiquitous) and 2) transformational (expense & relationship-intensive).

And, current educational outcomes also broadly fall into two categories: 1) a better life (job, money) and 2) a better world (transformed people/communities).

If we want a better world - and from the looks of things I think we need it - then the greatest strategic challenge is to increase the access through enhanced price and delivery of transformative education.
