We are running directly into a future where relationships will be more valuable than information. In business, it doesn’t matter what you know, it matters who you know.

In education, knowledge is a click away, but the classroom is a unique space where interaction and innovation can flourish.

How are you deriving and investing value from/in your relationships?
