Learning From Revolutionaries: Doug Engelbart's Design for High Performance Innovative Organizations
“I hope you’ll take the time to bathe in Doug’s seminal thinking. There was so much more to what he invented than the mouse or windows. His vision and his implementations of it really show us how to redesign the way that people work within and across organizations in order to be maximally innovative and adaptive.
