“This book explores the fundamentals of how humans learn and think, and
applies them systematically to define a means by which organizations
can better innovate and grow. By describing a real-world system for
engineering innovation, Flinn captures a means by which businesses can
harness the entrepreneurial creativity of individuals and systematize
it. The Learning Layer is a must-read for any leader seeking to instill
their organization with this potential.”

“As always, Steve Flinn has his eyes on technology’s frontier,
exploring the possibilities that may define our future. In this book,
he considers adaptation — advances that promise to bring people and
systems closer together so that they can learn in tandem. He offers a
compelling framework for how this ‘learning layer’ might transform
organizations. Anyone interested in the Internet’s evolution or its
potential impact on next-generation business will benefit from Flinn’s
reflections.”

“The Learning Layer is a thorough and detailed examination of how
people learn and how organization can use technology to enhance
organizational learning to drive sustainable competitive advantage. It
provides valuable insights into how organizations can unlock latent
knowledge, talent, and innovation to produce outstanding performance
and is an essential read for all business leaders.”

“The Learning Layer describes so well the new challenges and
opportunities in knowledge management and information technology today.
Most impressively, it provides a framework for how to address those
challenges by integrating learning into the 'fabric of business' in
effective and measurable ways. Mr. Flinn has done a superb job of
capturing and processing thoughts on adaptation and learning that many
of us have observed but not been able to codify.”
--Jamie Hatch, Knowledge
Management Officer, U.S. Pacific Fleet
"...
the vision is compelling" "...essential
reading for CIOs"
--I-CIO
"...the
learning layer’s infinite capacity exactly fits
Sir Arthur Clark’s contention, 'Any sufficiently advanced technology is
indistinguishable from magic.'”
