Jim Collins, author of the bestseller book “Good To Great : Why Some Companies Make the Leap and Others Don’t” is convinced that “the good-to-great findings apply broadly—not just to CEOs but also to you and me in whatever work we’re engaged in, including the work of our own lives.” The guiding question to transforming schools from good to great should be: What can we do better than we are doing in the status quo? Big data has no big influence if it is not driven up to the top of the DIKW pyramid, where wisdom is the sum up of the school consistent efforts to move forward. Making good schools great challenges educators to take their school performance to a higher level than expected. They are challenged to simulate life for learners not only to prepare them for one.
Good to Great Simplified
Let’s imagine the scenario in the visual above, where a group of people is about to change their status quo from the bottom to the top of a hill. They have resided down the hill for years now, even though their life is good, they know that there is an orchard that will make their lives even better up the hill. However, they will need to travel through a rough path where they’ll have to leave their comfort zones behind and take the risk. They will also have to carry the payload to the top of the hill, and that will help them settle once they reach their destination. Nevertheless, the group will have doubts about the journey; they will all sit together with a strong desire for the journey. They will start discussing the best way to approach it, and decide that no one should be left behind. They will prepare for the leap that will change their lives immensely.
