In systems theory, a Holon (ὅλον) is an evolving and self-organizing system. Each holon has integrity and identity on its own, but is simultaneously part of a larger system. We consider education to be an holonic system, where holons (learners, teachers, academics, schools, startups, universities, national systems) are simultaneously autonomous and co-operative.

Holonic systems are complex systems, efficient in the use of resources, highly resilient to disturbances yet adaptable to change, preserving the stability of a hierarchy while provid­ing the dynamic flexibility of an adaptive system.

This is how we think about innovation in education. Not top-down, technology-led but rather innovating from within the system - constantly learning, cooperating and adapting. Enabled and empowered with new models that the network evolves and organizes around, maintaining a constant focus on the learner.
