Absolutely true! This is precisely why the value and importance of design shine brightest when navigating through change. Reflecting on the ADDIE model, it's crucial to begin with the first step: assessing your people. Understanding their needs, capabilities, and perspectives lays a solid foundation for effective change management, making design even more valuable and essential in the process.

Every fall, I return to Stanford University for a couple of days to reconnect with my fellow board members at the Stanford University Graduate School of Business Alumni Association, as well as with students, faculty, and staff. This time, we discussed: - GSB’s centennial — Founded in 1925, #GSB is just weeks away from closing in on 100 years. Reflecting on a century of growth and imagining what the next century could bring was exciting. - Evolving campus debates — Students are engaging in more open, thoughtful exchanges that elevate the learning environment. I can confidently say that since I graduated in 2021, the business school has significantly strengthened its commitment to giving every point of view the voice, courage, and empathy it deserves. - AI’s pivotal impact on the classroom — While AI can feel daunting, in typical Stanford fashion, the school is embracing this change with an openness to its possibilities. From enhancing learning methods to encouraging students to explore new applications, AI is transforming how knowledge is shared and applied. I left feeling optimistic, not only for Stanford’s future but also for the potential these shifts have to shape broader conversations across the country and the world at large.
