NEW RELEASE
What does it actually take to scale high-performing schools without compromising classroom quality?
In this episode of the #EdVance Podcast, Brian Rogove, Founder and CEO of Ariston Education, unpacks nearly two decades of experience scaling global education groups across Asia and beyond. He explores why traditional growth strategies often fail, how leaders move from micromanagement to empowering distributed teams, and why the rise of AI makes human power skills more essential than ever.
He also shares his practical playbook for setting non-negotiable standards, building psychological safety, and why schools should stop teaching coding to focus on what truly makes us human.
