Posted by Robert Jacobs in Education Innovation (blog) on September 2, 2010. The model for school change that Jacobs outlines looks very similar to the GSCC project, in that both look at what's working and how it might be replicated, focusing on the positive (solution) rather than the more negative (problem). NOTE: The Harvard Business Review article that Jacobs refers to was published in 2005.
