The expedited advancement of society depends on "societal innovation."
In a letter to his JP Morgan shareholders, Jamie Dimon stresses the need for major corporations to commit to true societal innovation—the path to expedited societal advancement.
If expedited societal innovation has an opposite, it is the glacial decades of dreadful harm to half of all K-12 young people as indicated by their performance on such iconic indicators as NAEP, PISA, and TIMSS.

Jamie Dimon, the brilliant CEO of JP Morgan, in letters to his shareholders and in other communications details a $30 BILLION commitment to provide economic opportunity to underserved communities, especially the Black and Latinx communities.
K-12 in those communities is on his mind as he urges his peers (Big Corp has the power) to pursue consequential innovation—and to then have the fortitude to test it.
Innovation? Dimon’s historic success is built on it.
K-12 and the domain of societal-good innovation.
- Dimon advocates for innovation breakthroughs that bring the promise of expediting societal advancement.
- He notes that breakthroughs are paramount and are the province of innovation.
- He urges his fellow corporate giants to commit to a profound societal-good innovation effort—AND TO THEN TEST IT.
- Dimon emphasizes the need to test innovation since the results of true innovation are otherwise “unknowable.” He is careful to point out that the results of true innovation can be determined ONLY by implementing the innovation.
- Transparent, he emphasizes that implementation is therefore a risk. Dimon stresses that success is NOT GUARANTEED.
- Mr. Dimon almost pleads with his corporate peers to both innovate and implement. He cautions corporate decision-makers NOT to defer to accountants (simply doing their job) who may determine that to implement is to risk, so don’t implement.
- Absent breakthrough innovation for young people, the alternative for many is the plodding, iterative path, where the K-12 education years drag on and on, and where half of all K-12 graduates are not able to read, write, or do arithmetic at minimum NAEP proficiency, despite the U.S. public K-12 education system and its teachers being the best in the world.
The HSe4Metrics social media app offers to be a breakthrough innovation for a young person’s K-12 performance, cap rate, quality of life, and socioeconomic future.
Help test the app.
- The free-access 501(c)(3) HSe4Metrics social media app is an innovation that requires the support of a national sponsor.
- A presentation team is needed to present the HSe4Metrics social media app to America’s corporations.
