Prior to this appointment, Wagner was the first Innovation Education Fellow at the Technology & Entrepreneurship Center at Harvard, and the founder and co-director of the Change Leadership Group at the Harvard Graduate School of Education for more than a decade, where he conducts lots of research on education and people development that can help parents, educators and business leaders unleashing the maximum potential of young people for creativity and innovation and how enterprise can help in “creating” young innovators.

Wagner is a frequent speaker at national and international conferences in the US and a widely published author.

His 2008 book “The Global Achievement Gap : Why Even Our Best Schools Don’t Teach the New Survival Skills Our Children Need—and What We Can Do About It “ continues to hit the bestseller list and the 2nd edition will soon be published. Wagner writes, “in today’s highly competitive global knowledge economy, all students need new skills for college, careers and citizenship. To fail to give all students these new skills leaves today’s youth-and our country-at an alarming competitive disadvantage.” His most recent book “Creating Innovators : The Making of Young People Who Will Change The World“, was recently published by Simon & Schuster to rave reviews and has been translated into six languages.
