Nice post, Andrea. The line that rings true is, you can’t automate what you can’t articulate.

Fantastic post that weaves its way through both pragmatic and relevant problem-solving frameworks and the principles that should underpin our views of higher education. This was like going to a party with all my favorite people. :)

Andrea, two others I find useful. On the more simple framework side is "Known, Assumed, Unknown, Unknowable". Sometimes walking a team through this first helps provide the clarity to know which of the next frameworks might be needed, where we are confusing opinion with fact, or where we are chasing something that we can't actually know. On the more complex front, you might enjoy Integral Theory which takes a simple four quadrant structure to combine Interior (Subjective) and Exterior (Objective) with Individual and Collective perspectives.

Thanks for sharing! I haven’t used those approaches before, I’ll definitely have a go soon!

Thank you! And also we don’t want to become AI overseers instead of skilled professionals
