Fall Reading List

Here are some books that I think would be good to read in front of a fireplace on those cool fall days.

The Starfish book talks about the value of decentralized organizations and how they grow and can prosper where centralized organizations have trouble. Orbiting the Hairball is about retaining your creativity in a corporate environment…not an easy task. Extreme Toyota describes the successful traits of the organization and how they were leveraged for success but the book also points about some flaws in the automaker…I love the balance of the book.

If you want learning related books, check out:

From Analysis to Evaluation provides some great tools and ready-made worksheets. Good to have in your library. The E-Learning Handbook provides a comprehensive look at the e-learning industry, past, present and tips for the future. Technical Training has a mis-leading title. This book is about instructional strategies and how to apply them. This is a great book for understanding how to apply instructional strategies to any work you are doing.

In terms of learning may I also humbly suggest:

Gadgets, Games and Gizmos is about transfering knowledge from the boomer generation (currently in power) to the upcoming Gamer Generation. Winning E-Learning Proposals is about how to write an effective proposal (focused on e-learning) and Integrated Learning is about implementing a manufacturing based ERP system using the ADDIE model as a larger framework. They make great door stops also:)
