4th Request, thank you for your time.
Wish there was a choice, but...
100 companies of the Fortune 1000 companies would
represent 10% of 15 Trillion dollars of value positioning (not spending) to
insist on first things first attention. If there were 200 companies (it costs
nothing to lead the positioning of innovation), what then? The most at risk
could be mentored through and with mom without changing anything today. Not one
Fortune 1000 dollar is to be spent within this venture collateral model. A
pledge limited to an immaterial fraction of 1% creates a very powerful call to
innovate -first things first- and
just take care of the start to high quality for 100%. Nothing is going on today that addresses 100%;
that is the grass root key to public school effectiveness in education,
economics, emotions and ethics.
Without a focus on 100%, our systems just don’t deal with
some issues and real total cost is not addressed. You know this. See our first three letters http://chardevelactivity.blogspot.com/2013/03/request-afterresponse-dear-fortune1000.html);
the issue and
choice will never go away. Say yes and climb the right mountain. Any other decision keeps you in base camp or
climbing the wrong mountain according to Stephen Covey. I have many positive
reasons making me so bold to try and intrude on the Fortune 1000. You also have many reasons right now to get
to yes.
You have the power to help schools see first things first
and make this happen. Besides the pure joy that takes over when
children read the first and second Bob Book before they are 5 years old, the ERSD-RA
contracting by the school district with the local preschool juggernaut would economically
grow the delivery capacity to the exact requirement of the district.
The Fortune 1000 intruding
with commitment here, for the most at risk first, is an innovation K-12
districts have been talking about without new money for 20 plus years. Help the
districts, with leverage earn the new money with new commitment to their own
designed high quality innovation and savings; with a new scientific
understanding of the important first things first capacity constraints.
A few districts are further along this path than others
but rarely address the early literacy issue as if it were equal to the early
safety issue and even more rarely do they see it as the capacity constraint that
could eliminate excess costs. Simply,
leaders owe it to themselves and their company to prompt innovation based on
first thing first expectations for 100% delivery, in addition to everything
else your company is doing.
Please set up the discussion with me, I have a very
simple first step.
