Asking The Wrong Question

In his post this morning, Seth Godin discusses how businesses almost always interpret – incorrectly – the impact of new technologies.

The question that gets asked about technology, the one that is almost always precisely the wrong question is, “How does this advance help our business?”

The correct question is, “how does this advance undermine our business model and require us/enable us to build a new one?”

So, what happens if we substitute “school” for “business”?

Just a Monday morning thought.
