The future of education will demand unprecedented collaboration

In the future, education and learning will require a greater focus on individual and collaborative reflection and reflexivity, writes Martin Brigham, Associate Professor at the Lancaster University School of Management and Worldwide Academic Director of the International Masters Program for Managers (IMPM), a program that has been ranked as North America's best international executive management masters. The grand challenges that organizations and societies face will require new levels of ambition when it comes to collaboration, says Brigham. There are limits to the scope and scale of individual action. Collaboration will become an end in itself and not just a means to an end. This will require educators to provide new ways of thinking about and new concepts of collaboration.
