It is something that is called a spike. A risk-based spike is kind of a proof of concept. It is a prototype, a real-time experiment of what you…

I went to the Supercharge conference the other day in Wellington. This was a business conference… nothing to do with literacy, numeracy or even education (I know… thank goodness right…?)

In my last post I discussed some of the things that I’ve borrowed from entrepreneurial and design thinking.
