Educators, we need you!  To be a leader in dynamic digital skills training General Assembly has been on my radar for a while. Zubi Flyer graduates learners from logic oriented game play to block based programming and on to text based scripting in an intuitive open source development environment. We close skills gaps and I like to benchmark myself against those doing similarly great work! 

Today, Switzerland based Adecco Group announced plans to purchase New York based General Assembly for $412.5 million.  That is a BIG number!! Where and how is that kind of value created?!
