1. Be bold. Challenge and don’t take ‘no’ for an answer. Work out where you want to be and how you’ll get there.
2. Get off the mark! Make a start and keep ‘iterating the idea’.3. Get the people around you involved. You can’t do it all by
yourself.4. Bring governance with you in real time. Don’t force a fully
formed idea on to top management, get them involved early.
5. Deadlines matter. Fear of the unknown can easily lead to inertia so you need to move quickly on your ideas.
6. Show leadership. Be prepared to roll up your sleeves and get involved.
7. Enrol early adopters and listen to their ideas.8. Go live with a bang! If you don’t have marketing expertise,
bring on board someone who does.Martin Bean – quoted at

“…most MOOCs work well for students who are self-motivated and already fairly well educated. Worldwide, the poorest students still don’t have the background … to participate in a major way.”
