Abstract:

Universities are good at dividing up disciplines, to offer predictable career paths to students. In 2014 I was given the privilege of leading the world’s first transdisciplinary degree, The Bachelor of Creative Intelligence and Innovation, which has gone on to become perhaps the most awarded program in Australia, if not the world. It teaches a future-facing curriculum focusing on future-oriented, industry-engaged curriculum encompassing high-level creative and critical thinking, invention, complexity, innovation, futures thinking, entrepreneurship, and social impact. In a commercial world where education has to prove its worth, there is a lot more at stake than educating for future jobs. We are educating for transformation, because unless we have transformed humans who understand radical collaboration across all our fields and professions, we don’t stand a chance of transforming the world around us and rising to the challenges of our times.
