Pearson is in the middle of a digital transformation and the biggest challenge we’ve faced is connecting business to technology. There is a tendency to focus on technology for efficiencies rather than innovation. My assumption is this directly relates to the understanding of technology, i.e. it's easier to understand what has been done than what can be done.
Pearson is rich with talent and many of these people's familiarity with technology is from an efficiency perspective (editors, publishers, educators, administrators, etc). The question is how to unlock this traditional talent by showing technology as a tool to create rather than repair or simply automate.
I’m hoping to find examples of how technology has been presented in ways that anyone can understand, provides relevant metaphors/analogies, and shows simple ways in which technology is used for innovation.
