Fifty years ago, the Apollo programme put a man on the Moon. Alongside the Manhattan Project, which had delivered the atomic bomb, it was probably the most complex and ambitious mobilisation of state and science the world has ever seen. It was a vast overreach of effort: achieving the aspiration required the invention and mastery of new technologies, alongside the systems of scheduling and control to use them. From project management to computer simulation, new disciplines emerged, and all of them in remarkably short order.

Julian Stodd is an author, and founder of Sea Salt Learning, a global learning consultancy helping organisations adapt and thrive in the Social Age. Much of his consultancy work is around core elements of the Social Age: the need for Social Leadership, the design of Scaffolded Social Learning, planning for Organisational Change and the impacts of Social Collaborative Technology.
Julian comes from an academic background in communication theory, psychology and neurophysiology, learning design, educational psychology, museum education and philosophy. He is a proud global mentor with the Cherie Blair Foundation for Women, and a Trustee of Drake Music, a charity that works to break down disabling barriers to music through education and research. He was awarded the Learning Performance Institute 'Colin Corder Award for Services to Learning' in 2016.
At its highest level, his work covers documenting the changes of the Social Age and sense-making what we do about it, and ranges from leadership to learning, culture to change, trust to humility. He has written ten books so far, including 'The Social Leadership Handbook', 'Exploring the World of Social Learning' and 'A Mindset for Mobile Learning', plus a Guidebook series each of which explores different aspects of Organisational design and change. All are under 10,000 words and include sections on 'what you need to know', and 'what you need to do about it'.
