The New 3Rs

In the 20th Century, if you could read, write, and perform basic computations (The Old 3Rs of Reading, 'Riting, and 'Rithmetic), you had the basic skills you needed. You had the skills for "learning." In the 21st Century, you need more. You need skills for "thinking." Learning what other people have done is still important but it is not enough. You need to be able to "innovate" and "generate" new ways of doing things. It is new ideas that are the basis of competitive advantage in the 21st century marketplace. It is new ideas that give birth to new businesses and new opportunities. We call these innovative thinking skills-The New 3Rs: Relating, Representing, and Reasoning. They will empower you to generate your own changeable destinies.
