Borrowing Brilliance

Before we start to dive deeper into the detail, we should take a moment to point out that we did not write or dream up any of the practices in this book. The practices in this book and in the Open Practice Library are a growing list of contributions of some brilliant minds. We have borrowed that brilliance and will attribute it to the brilliant minds that came up with it. We hope we have attributed everyone correctly and any omissions are purely accidental.

What we have attempted to do with this book is show how these practices, when connected together, have delivered some highly impactful outcomes for organizations and show some of the underlying principles needed to enable those outcomes.
