Ken Robinson argues that organisations everywhere are trying to
fix a problem that originates in schools and universities. Many
people leave education with no idea what their creative abilities
and strengths are. In a powerful and original way, he says why this
is and what organisations and individuals can do immediately to
recover their creative talents.
Revised edition will have following changes:
Updated to accommodate recent changes to the education system
internationally, and to include more recent examples and case
studies
Focus of the book shifted to give more international examples and
refer to US education system; to appeal to overseas markets.
Some of the heavier academic content has been stripped out and
content has been adapted for more consumerthink-piece market.
