Informal learning has entered the cloud. Smart companies prosper. Clueless companies die. Brains make the difference. Organizations that continuously exercise and improve their collective brainpower come out on top. This book aims to show you ways to increase your organization’s intelligence. Until recently, the collaboration and learning that fuel the growth of individual and group braininess took place under the radar. My goal is to bring this activity into the sunlight and suggest how to exploit it. This is the November 2009 edition of this unbook.

Chief Learning Officers and training directors are struggling to convince executives they are making a difference. To be successful, they must think and act like business people. This takes more than jargon and metrics. This un-book explains what a training director must do to get budget, keep her job, and make solid contributions to the bottom line. What Would Andrew Do? will challenge you to convince a hard-nosed, self-made Scot that your proposed learning project is a worthwhile use of his money. If you can do that, convincing your organization shouldn’t be a problem. This is version 4.6 of What Would Andrew Do? It is a work in progress. It’s incomplete. Don’t buy this book unless you’re willing to put up with messiness in order to get its message.

Open, participative, bottom-up, networked, flexible, responsive: that’s what we’re after.
