In doing so, he charts a course for rebuilding and reinhabiting better systems across education, healthcare, criminal justice, government, and more.\u003c\/b\u003e\n\nThe United States spends enormous sums on helping people—£3.8 trillion on healthcare, £182 billion on prisons, and £604 billion on higher education—and yet these systems routinely fail us.\n\nWhen we seek to improve how they function, our efforts focus on policy debates, technical solutions, funding, and data. But if these systems are to truly improve, we have to start with the human values that fuel decision making.\n\n\u003ci\u003eBroken\u003c\/i\u003e explores the deeply human dimensions we must consider—aspiring, discovering, mattering—if we want to rebuild the policies, technologies, processes, and, most importantly, the heart we use to serve people.\n\nOver the course of 25 years as a college and university president and higher education innovator, Paul LeBlanc, PhD, has encountered innumerable wonderful people who want to do the right thing for students but whose efforts cannot overcome the shortcomings of the system. Now, he shares what he’s learned, and continues to learn, about the opportunities and necessity to put humanity and care at the centre of all our systems.\n\nWith \u003ci\u003eBroken\u003c\/i\u003e, LeBlanc outlines the distinctly human questions that education—and all systems that serve—must start asking to reframe what is broken in order to make lasting repairs and to better care for those they serve.\n\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"Arotahi Agency","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47470196228332,"sku":"9781637741764","price":59.99,"currency_code":"NZD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0705\/7784\/8556\/files\/9781637741764-broken.jpg?v=1775213516"},{"product_id":"reclaiming-purpose-by-paul-leblanc-9781394407477","title":"Reclaiming Purpose","description":"\u003cdiv class=\"book-description\"\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eA strategic framework for understanding how AI will transform higher education\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eIn \u003cem\u003eReclaiming Purpose: The University in an AI World\u003c\/em\u003e, Paul LeBlanc, former President of Southern New Hampshire University and widely recognised as one of the most innovative educators in higher education, delivers a framing perspective for understanding artificial intelligence's impact on learning institutions.
