Overall focus on the future - Including The Shape of Things to Come, the Learning Revolution, the Thinking Revolution and the Instant Communications Revolution.

Twin senior executive focus - Management: to set and achieve short-term goals through other people; Leadership: to create and inspire a new self-generating future with even bigger goals.

The corporate culture - Everyone an enthusiastic learner. Everyone a teacher, mentor, coach. Everyone a creative thinker. Everyone a positive contributor. Everyone a self-acting manager. Every stakeholder involved.

Training and development - Help everyone to set and achieve personal as well as corporate goals. All training does not have to lead to specific job-related skills. It is enough to add knowledge skills and learn to learn.

Communications loop - Make it easy to create, simplify and store all vital information, and make it instantly available to everyone. Reward people for sharing ideas. Crush out the “Not Invented Here” syndrome.
