Advance Praise for "Informal Learning"
"The key to the twenty-first century will be in learning how to
leverage informal learning for us all. Jay provides us with an
evocative road map to how we can do this."
--John Seely Brown, coauthor, Social Life of Information, and
former chief scientist, Xerox Corp.
"Informal learning is the perfect theme for exploring the next
wave of our field. Jay Cross continues to push our thinking on the
transformational forces of knowledge, learning, and performance. A
must read!"
--Elliott Masie, founder, The MASIE Center's Learning
CONSORTIUM
"In an outsourced, automated age, informal learning has become
the key to high performance and personal fulfillment. And now Jay
Cross has written the very best primer on this woefully neglected
topic. This is a book for both sides of your brain!"
--Daniel H. Pink, author, "A Whole New Mind"
"Jay Cross provides an important challenge for us all--to move
our focus from the classroom to the workplace, and in doing so,
reframe what we do in ways that much more closely reflect how
people actually learn and perform on the job. "Informal Learning"
has profound implications for how we--from trainers to chief
learning officers and from frontline business managers to
executives--must rethink our ideas and practices, not in some
distant future, but right now."
--Marc J. Rosenberg, management consultant, and author, "Beyond
E-Learning"
"This book shows how informal learning experiences connect us
with information, help us share ideas, and obtain new perspectives,
and even help us create new knowledge together."
--Ellen Wagner, director, Worldwide eLearning, Adobe Systems
"The onesentence from this book that hit me like a train: 'Most
corporations invest their training budget where it will have the
least impact.' Wow. In an era of demanding ROI, shrinking budgets,
and the insistence to do more with less, think of the impact that
informal learning could have if it could truly focus learning and
efforts for maximum impact."
--Mark Oehlert, learning strategy architect, Booz Allen
Hamilton
