Why we're partnering

One programme can't reach every school.

The Intensive started in Shanghai. The cognitive-overload problem it addresses is global. Rather than scale a single delivery, we're licensing the programme to educators and organisations who already have the networks, and can do this better in their own context than we ever could.

Partners get the full programme: every lever, every framework, every assessment tool, every piece of marketing material. Shane personally delivers one live session into each of your cohorts. Quality is held; reach multiplies.
