Guest: Ed Fidoe: Founder of LIS
Ed Fidoe is the visionary founder and CEO of the London Interdisciplinary School (LIS), pioneering a revolution in education. LIS is the first institution in decades to be granted degree-awarding powers from inception in the UK. It offers an innovative, interdisciplinary curriculum designed to address complex global challenges such as inequality, sustainability, ethics, and artificial intelligence.
Ed will explore the concept of “networked expertise” versus “narrow expertise” and its application to individuals beyond their defined roles. He’ll discuss how understanding a person’s broader interests and skills can uncover valuable knowledge and foster greater engagement in the workplace.
Additionally, Ed will delve into the idea of organizing learning and work environments around complex problems—such as addressing climate change—instead of traditional departments or disciplines. He argues that framing tasks and discussions in this way can enhance motivation, drive innovation, and improve problem-solving capabilities.
Join us as we discuss fostering greater engagement in the workspace.
