If you have ever flown in an airplane, used electricity from a nuclear power plant or taken an antibiotic, you have benefited from a brilliant mistake. Each of these life-changing innovations was the result of many missteps and an occasional brilliant insight that turned a mistake into a surprising portal of discovery. There are countless books that tell you how to avoid mistakes. Paul Schoemaker, founder and executive chairman of Decision Strategies international and research director of Wharton’s Mack Center for technological innovation, shares critical insights on the benefits of making well-chosen mistakes. Based on solid research and insights from more than 100 organizations, he provides a roadmap for using mistakes to accelerate learning for your organization and yourself. This book is a great read. If you’re doing social media and you’re trying to be perfect, get over it – you won’t learn how to improve what you’re doing. This book will help. www.amazon.com/gp...

A lot of work I do around social media is training — good training requires good design – not just content. This book is filled with great tips on designing engaging learning experiences that help your participants connect, inspire, and engage. The model balances content, learning design, and participants. The ideas, tips, and tricks are grounded in adult learning theory, but the book is very practical. www.amazon.com/gp...

It is a book about how connectedness through social networks can help satisfy the needs of business bottom line and a healthy, sustainable planet. The book offers a new marketplace model that is not drive by “me first” corporate greed, but how corporations can leverage social media to build a better world and earn consumer goodwill and loyalty. www.amazon.com/gp...

This book is about how networks and being connected is changing the environment both inside and out for organizations and what to do about it. I have two favorite chapters that cover topics that you don't usually see in other books. He covers the whole issue of the attention deficit crisis and the downside to abundant access that social networks offer - and how we need to focus in an age of distraction. He also covers "adaptive business models" which is about how organizations need to change their internal structures to harness innovation. As he points out, innovation isn't about new ideas or processes, but also being able to evolve and scale them. Leaders have to rewire their organizations in the face of networks in order to be successful. www.amazon.com/gp...

Tim Harford is one of the best thinkers on the idea of learning from failure and how organizations need to become more adaptive. The book is well-researched, well-written – and gives you the map for navigating in an increasingly complex world. www.amazon.com/gp...

Measure What Matters I've had the pleasure of writing a book with KD Paine on measurement over the past year - where we merged two concepts - the Networked Nonprofit and Measurement. So, I've read this book cover-to-cover many times. It's a cookbook of measurement techniques for social media filled with helpful case studies, step-by-steps, and great advice.
