There are many moments when the actions of another changes the course of your life forever. Although we are unaware of many, it's the ones we know about that fascinate me. I can think of a few which one person's decision led to a radical different trajectory for my life. This week's episode features one of those people.  I didn't know Ed Hess, but I did admire his thinking and books. After reading one, I thought I would be bold and let him know how much I liked it via LinkedIn. Surprisingly he accepted. Fast forward a few years with no communication between us, I had my draft manuscript of “Take Your Shoes Off First” and I was looking for a review from someone who could tell me if I had a hit or a dud. I immediately thought of Ed as I thought the book might resonate with his own thinking. Knowing it was a one in a million chance he would say yes, I sent a message to Ed asking if he would review my manuscript. He said yes.This is where we start our episode. I'll let you tune in to find out what happened next. Suffice it to say, Ed helped me jump to a new path for my life and I will be forever grateful for this now friend, but then stranger, for saying yes. Ed is a Professor Emeritus of Business Administration at the University of Virginia's Darden School of Business and a coach, consultant and connector focused on human performance in the digital age.  He is the author of “Humility is the New Smart” – a book in which Ed details his own transformation from ego-centered expert to humble learner, which was an inspiring read that resonated deeply with my own hard lessons. Our conversation touches on lessons we have both learned and the focus of his latest book, “Hyper-learning: How to Adapt at the Speed of Change.”Listen in as our conversation emerges and we wind our way through: What is the “New Smart”The problem with the current “people development systems” in the U.S. How tech is moving faster than we are and why that is a big problemWhy he is passionate about the idea of “otherness”  What “hyper learning” is and why it is critical we shift our thinking about how we teach and learn if we want to be relevant in the futureEnjoy!To learn more about Ed, check out:-          LinkedIn HERE -          “Humility is the New Smart: Rethinking Human Excellence in the Smart Machine Age” Book-           “Hyper-Learning: How to Adapt at the Speed of Change” Book-          Website

To compete with today's increasing globalisation and rapidly evolving technologies, individuals and organisations must take their ability to learn to a much higher level. Today's guest combines recent advances in neuroscience, psychology, behavioural economics, and education with key research on high-performance businesses to create an actionable blueprint for becoming a leading-edge learning organisation. Today's book examines the process of learning from an individual and an organisational standpoint. From an individual perspective, the book discusses the cognitive, emotional, motivational, attitudinal, and behavioural factors that promote better learning. Organisationally, it focuses on the kinds of structures, culture, leadership, employee learning behaviours, and human resource policies that are necessary to create an environment that enables critical and innovative thinking, learning conversations, and collaboration. His work also provides strategies to mitigate the reality that humans can be reflexive, lazy thinkers who seek confirmation of what they believe to be true and affirmation of their self-image. Humility is the New Smart is his emotions book. Hyper-Learning is his behavioural and philosophy book. Learn or Die is his science book. It is always a pleasure to welcome a great friend of the Innovation show , Ed Hess. More about Ed: www.edhess.org

If there's one thing we've all learned over the course of the COVID-19 pandemic it's the importance of being adaptive to unexpected and disruptive change. Of course, COVID-19 is not the only external force driving systems-wide change. AI and other emergent technologies are poised to be as if not more disruptive to not only the way we work, but even what kind of work we'll do going forward. So how can we become more adaptive - and resilient - to whatever change we'll be required to make in the months and years ahead? To examine this question, I'll be speaking with innovation, learning, and mindset expert Professor Edward Hess in this episode of my podcast, "Leadership Biz Cafe".

Ed elaborates more on this and how it sets the stage for the future of education. [7:53] Byron’s thoughts on we should redefine the purpose of, and goals of, high school. [11:50] Pam shares her insights on how she sees the redefining of the goals and purpose of high school, and whether or not Portrait of a Graduate is a good step in the right direction. [17:35] Tom’s new book, Difference Making at the Heart of Learning, shares the radical proposition that high school should be a place where you figure out who you are, what you’re good at, what you care about, where/how you’re going to make a difference in the world, and that difference-making is the new superpower. Does Ed see this as part of the new core purpose of high school? [19:58] The kinds of learning experiences that Byron sees as really benefiting high school students. [24:20] Pam shares what kinds of learning experiences she sees as benefiting high school students. [25:15] Pam proposes a question for the panel: “What would need to change if what we wanted to do was to move towards kids who understand the concept of ‘quiet egos’ and why that is an important disposition to have success in life?” [26:02] Ed answers Pam’s question. [27:02] Ed shares a prediction on how he sees the future of classrooms within high schools. [29:12] Tom proposes that making an advisory structure and relationships central in both the secondary and post-secondary experience is part of the answer. Ed also shares his thoughts on this. [31:00] Byron answers Pam’s question. [32:12] Byron elaborates on the stakes and challenges that we’re really facing in trying to redefine high school. [33:42] In response to this inequity problem, some would say the answer would be to double down on the current inherited system that is not working for high school students. What is Byron’s response to this? [36:41] Ed shares his thoughts on what he sees as being at stake as we redefine these inherited systems. [38:51] Pam shares her own thoughts and insights on the topic of what we need to be cautious of as we redefine high school. [42:18] Byron shares his thoughts on how we could reorganize the high school experience in a more community-connected way. [49:56] Pam asks Ed for his insights on what it would take to actually start to create an environment for teenagers that doesn’t look like anything that we have right now. [53:23] Tom wraps up the podcast and gives his thanks to Pam, Ed, and Byron for sharing their insights and wisdom.   Mentioned in This Episode: Dr. Pamela Moran Virginia School Consortium for Learning (VaSCL) Byron Sanders Ed Hess Big Thought Hyper-Learning: How to Adapt to the Speed of Change, by Ed Hess Portrait of a Graduate Difference Making at the Heart of Learning: Students, Schools, and Communities Alive With Possibility, by Tom Vander Ark and Emily Liebtag Journeyman Ink: DaVerse Lounge Creative Solutions We Are Crew: A Teamwork Approach to School Culture, by EL Education EL Education Valor Public Schools Getting Smart Podcast Ep. 236: “Listening to Kids and Designing from Scratch for Timeless Learning with Pam Moran” Getting Smart Podcast Ep. 254: “Byron Sanders on Closing the Opportunity Gap in Dallas” Getting Smart Podcast Ep. 283: “Ed Hess on Adapting to the Speed of Change” GettingSmart.com/InventionOpportunity   Get Involved: Check out the blog at GettingSmart.com.

One of the ongoing changes we’re increasingly experiencing is artificial intelligence: the simulation of human intelligence in a machine. Simply put, machines are quickly becoming “intelligent” enough to do many tasks that humans used to do. The implications are enormous, especially relative to the work we will do going forward and how we will do it. And, as our guest Professor Ed Hess explains, those shifts will require us to take our learning capabilities to a higher level in order to stay relevant.

Author and professor Ed Hess has published several notable books on learning and innovation including his recent work that we discuss today, Humility is the New Smart.

The Digital Age will raise the question of how humans will stay relevant in the workplace. To stay relevant, we have to be able to excel cognitively, behaviourally, and emotionally in ways that technology can't. Our guest believes, this requires us to become Hyper-Learners: continuously learning, unlearning, and relearning at the speed of change. To do that, we have to overcome our reflexive ways of being: seeking confirmation of what we believe, emotionally defending our beliefs and our ego, and seeking cohesiveness of our mental models. Hyper-Learning requires a new way of being… and a radical new way of working. We welcome a great friend of the innovation show, hyper learner and author of "Hyper-Learning: How to Adapt to the Speed of Change", Ed Hess. More about Ed: https://www.edhess.org/

Kathryn interviews Journalist Andrew Gumbel, author of “Won't Lose This Dream: How an Upstart Urban University Rewrote the Rules of a Broken System.” He tells the extraordinary story of how Georgia State University tore up the rulebook on education helping realize lifelong dreams of graduating from college. For more than twenty years Gumbel worked as a foreign correspondent for Reuters, The Guardian and The Independent. Kathryn also interviews Professor of Business Administration at Darden School of Business Ed Hess LLM, author of “Hyper-Learning: How to Adapt to the Speed of Change.” He argues that with the advancement of technology, the need for humans to excel at adaptation will not go away when COVID-19 is contained. Workers will be forced to become “hyper-learners” (a person who excels at learning, unlearning and relearning at the pace of change). Hess has been featured in Forbes, the Financial Times, Wired, The Washington Post and more.

Your job is at risk-if not now, then soon. We are on the leading edge of a Smart Machine Age led by artificial intelligence that will be as transformative for us as the Industrial Revolution was for our ancestors. Smart machines will take over millions of jobs in manufacturing, office work, the service sector, the professions, you name it. Not only can they know more data and analyse it faster than any mere human, but smart machines are free of the emotional, psychological, and cultural baggage that so often mars human thinking. So we can't beat 'em and we can't join 'em. To stay relevant, we have to play a different game. Our guest offers us that game plan. We need to excel at critical, creative, and innovative thinking and at genuinely engaging with others--things machines can't do well. The key is to change our definition of what it means to be smart. Our guest calls it being NewSmart. The crucial mindset underlying NewSmart is humility -not self-effacement but an accurate self-appraisal: acknowledging you can't have all the answers, remaining open to new ideas, and committing yourself to lifelong learning. The key to success in this new era is not to be more like the machines but to excel at the best of what makes us human. We welcome the author of Humility Is the New Smart, Rethinking Human Excellence In the Smart Machine Age, Ed Hess

This episode is a riddle, wrapped in an NBA championship, wrapped in a chance encounter, wrapped in privilege, wrapped in mashed potatoes, washed over by the ocean, and inside of a critical message for our world about humility. Our journey starts  with a celebration and a question, and ends with a celebration and a question. In between we hear from two TedX speakers, an American playwright, a psychologist, and have in depth conversation with Ed Hess, author of Humility is the New Smart: Rethinking Human Excellence in the Smart Machine Age.

Never before in human history has so much change been so rapidly foisted on human beings. Not during the Renaissance, the Enlightenment or the Industrial Revolution. Today, technology in all of its forms; from smart machines to robotics, from AI to VR to 3D manufacturing, to genetic and biomedical engineering, will make sure we are never the same It's estimated by some that almost eighty million jobs could be gone in our lifetime. Certainly, the psychological and political consequences of this change, as we are already seeing, could be devastating. But so will the economic impact. It’s in this context that we need to reimagine capitalism. Just listen to some of the current candidates for president, and you’ll see that the very capitalist system that has produced this unprecedented change and wealth, is under siege. All of which raises the question, can capitalism itself keep up?  This is the question that author and business professor Ed Hess in a new White Paper in our recent conversation.  My conversation with Ed Hess:  

Claudia Cragg, @KGNUClaudia speaks here for @KGNU #ItsTheEconomy with Ed Hess () about what he sees as the urgent need to modernize and deeply reform the present state of capitalism.  Hess argues that we are now on the leading edge of a tsunami of coming technological and scientific advances in the areas of artificial intelligence (AI); the Internet of Things; virtual reality; advanced robotics; nanotechnology; deep learning; and biomedical, genetic, and cyborg engineering. Along with quantum computing power and global connectivity, these advances will fundamentally change how most of us live and work. The Digital Age, he maintains, has both the potential to be as disruptive and and also transformative for us as the Industrial Revolution was for our ancestors. If not proactively and preemptively managed, that disruption will threaten our capitalist system and democracy and destroy what’s left of the American Dream.

Host Cyrus Webb welcomes author Edward D. Hess to #ConversationsLIVE to discuss his new book HUMILITY IS THE NEW SMART.

In this episode, we are joined by cognitive psychologist, Christopher Chabris, who is perhaps best known for his collaborative research on the Ig Nobel prize-winning ‘Gorillas in Our Midst' experiment and his subsequent popular psychology book, The Invisible Gorilla. Chris is an Associate Professor of Psychology at Union College in New York and a Senior Investigator at Geisinger Health System. Why Chris believes companies often fail the test of inattentional blindness during the product design phase. Why our attention is more limited than we think and how learning self-control can help us to take in more information. Why we overvalue confidence and how we can work to recognize and overcome our own cognitive biases. Key Takeaways and Learnings Inattentional blindness: the surprising facts on how limited our attention is. Illusion of attention: why we think we pay more attention to things than we actually do. Human cognitive architecture: how understanding the limitations and foibles of the human mind can lead to successful product and technology design.
