Sir Ken Robinson, Creativity and Innovation Expert


Listen Later

Sir Ken is both a knight and a "prince of a man." Working tirelessly on educational reform to move us from an academic format for the defunct industrial revolution to an interdisciplinary organizational structure fit for today's globally-networked knowledge workers, Sir Ken recommends a logical new kind of school system and tells us why this social institutional structure is imperative to fix "the other climate crisis" -- the human resource crisis.
In this special interview, host Susan Bratton takes her listeners on an expansive journey beyond Internet media and into a realm of creativity and innovation. Hear why "habits and habitats" are the keys to increasing YOUR everyday creativity to unleash the power of your full potential.
Sir Ken also discusses world government's process to become a "creative hub." From Oklahoma to Ireland, from Singapore to the UK, he's been hired by heads of state, including Tony Blair, to imbue innovation and creativity into not just states, but entire countries.
This charming and special man shares not just his vision of his life's work, but his recent re-marriage to his wife of 25 years at the Las Vegas Elvis Chapel (yes, the Blue Hawaii package); what it's like to be knighted by Queen Elizabeth II (Beefeaters and all!) and the latent creative awakenings of his rock-star friends, Sir Paul McCartney and Mick Fleetwood.
