Last Friday I had the pleasure of interviewing Lucinda Low who is the founder and director of Bridgeway Academy which is a school that develops children with learning disabilities.
Bridgeway Academy has been successful by any stretch of the imagination. It is a model for several other schools across North America and Ms. Low is sought out for her expertise. Based on the success of Bridgeway it is reasonable to assume that Ms. Low has advanced degrees in education. It would also be reasonable to assume that she has done extensive research on child education. Nope – she simply developed a school that teaches students with disabilities “the way they learn”. No grand research studies. No grand 10 year plans. No extensive controlled research studies. Just great success.
Risk managers have lots to learn from Ms. Low. Forget the grand theories and the approved frameworks that everyone says that you need to implement. Forget the credentials. Just deal with organizations the way they work, keeping in mind the context in which they work. Simple. Successful.
