The integrated curriculum has profoundly changed how I approach decision-making as a leader. Previously, I focused on customer issues, execution, and return on investment. Now, I analyze decisions from multiple perspectives—considering competitors, internal workforce dynamics, investors, and broader societal implications.
One of my favorite little sayings in the office is ‘good ideas attract capital.’ The curriculum innovation idea just seemed like an interesting project and one with a clear benefit for students. It was easy to support.
