It’s now official, so I figure it’s time to update you all. I’ve taken on a role of Chief Learning Architect (a slightly better title than the one originally considered) for the Wadhwani Foundation. It’s an initial 6 month contract, so Quinnovation isn’t going to cease to exist, just have (much) more limited availability. I’m still passionate about the Serious eLearning Manifesto, and the Revolution message, and I’ll still be thinking out loud here and on Twitter.
The Foundation’s mission is to create jobs and prepare people to take them. They’ve started with Entrepreneurship programs to create new businesses, and are supplementing with job training to prepare people to staff them. A third leg will be innovation grants. It’s a noble mission, the vision of the founder.
My role is to refine the learning design to increase success. Partnerships and content development are already underway, so it’ll be a challenge to influence processes, but it’s a chance to have a real impact on something that matters. I start today, and fingers crossed. We’ll see if I can practice what I preach, eh?
Congratulations, Clark!
They’re lucky to have you.
Good for you, Clark…
The time is ripe for such an undertaking and you are the right man for the job!
Congratulations Dr. Quinn! Help them Quinnovate! I know you’ll make a difference!
Congratulations, Clark!
Great, Clark. Sounds fun– and important.
I like the “I start today.” That is always the case, but perhaps more today than usual.
That’s great news Clark! Can’t wait to hear about all the amazing things you do. Agree with Ryan above – they’re lucky to have you!
Congrats Clark! Any organization would be lucky to have you but one that creates jobs and prepares people for them – what a perfect match!
Great! This is well aligned with some of our recent work in mobile and entrepreneurship in the Caribbean and Africa as well as an NSF grant for I-CORP that we have at UCF. Let’s stay connected on this as you dig in. Congrats!
Super job and I’m super glad they have you!
Nice one Clark, keep them moving forward, but dont let Quinnovation flounder. Congrats.
Congratulations and best of luck in the new role!
Really excited for you! Looks like a fantastic cause to put your talents and expertise towards. Good luck!
