In a world where knowledge is abundant, the real challenge isn't what we know, but how we use it. Traditional learning models focus on acquiring information, but the future belongs to those who can structure, apply, and adapt knowledge dynamically. This talk explores the shift from knowing to doing, the rise of collective intelligence, and how individuals can hack learning systems to stay ahead. It invites listeners to rethink how they learn; not just to keep up, but to lead. Rachel Long is an education researcher, strategist, and corporate learning designer. As a Renaissance Award Scholar, she studied learning systems at ten of the world’s top universities and taught in classrooms across Australia and the United Kingdom. She currently works for a sustainability-focused tech company where she helps professionals build adaptable, future-ready skill sets. Rachel's talk introduces the idea of becoming a "knowledge architect"—someone who not only acquires information but knows how to apply and organize it to solve real-world challenges. This talk was given at a TEDx event using the TED conference format but independently organized by a local community. Learn more at https://www.ted.com/tedx
