Not even computers will replace committees, because committees buy computers.

Ernest W. Lehmann Bio
Ernest W. Lehmann has long served in technology and management roles for staffing, healthcare and higher education. His expertise is applying technology to tough business problems, building winning teams, creating software and technology solutions to grow and fuel business innovation.
He has served as Chief Information Officer for Bryant & Stratton College, one of the largest private proprietary postsecondary colleges in the United States. He has served as the Chief Information Officer for Noyes Health, and Blue Heron Consulting.

He currently serves as Chief Operating Officer for Obridge Academy, and is responsible for technology, human resources, operations, risk management, acquisitions, marketing and public relations for this global education consortium. “Education is at a tipping point. We have already crossed the threshold to a global and digital learning environment. Knowledge is at our disposal through a thin strand of fiber optic overload, but making sense and finding the needle of truth and discernment will require a highly ethical, informed, and wise student willing to learn for a lifetime. The changes in education might appear glacial but in fact are happening rapidly and deceptively fast all around us. I look forward to a quality future for education that has yet to be imagined.”
Working remotely
It’s tough to work remotely. Most people who can do it have a manager who cannot. Supervising remote workers is hard and you need a culture of accountability which most people are not able to establish, cultivate, and maintain. Working remotely requires consistency and transparency. It requires a high level of technical skill and integrity. Retire now if you have a manager who expects you to be available 7x24.
