Why you should read The Learning Layer
Adaptive systems innovator Steven D. Flinn focuses on the way “system thinking applications” can improve organizational learning and knowledge management. He explains how companies can create a “learning layer” within their information technology systems to educate employees and boost productivity and performance. getAbstract recommends Flinn’s book – despite its occasional opacity and some heavy-going circumlocutions – to business leaders who want to make the most forward-looking use of adaptable corporate learning. He offers a solid take on the learning layer as a way to foster organizational education, manage knowledge and make the most of information technology. The book also will intrigue futurists who focus on technology and business. Flinn makes it clear that the learning layer’s infinite capacity exactly fits Sir Arthur Clark’s contention, “Any sufficiently advanced technology is indistinguishable from magic.”
