"Finally a book that understands not just the theory of collaborative learning but also understands how to roll its sleeves up and make it happen. I really enjoyed Nick's book. He breaks down the blueprint of collaborative learning and how to overcome typical challenges. This will be a benefit to anyone who reads it."

"Nick's passion for collaborative learning shines through; that provides energy for the reader! There are some excellent case studies which provide a good context for the thinking."

"In L&D, books that stick are the ones that simply answer the question 'how do I make this work in my organization?' Nick absolutely nails this in his guide to collaborative learning. It's filled with well-researched thinking, real-world examples and obstacles that learning professionals may face when trying to implement this approach within their business. I found myself continually flicking back to how collaborative learning can be applied to different stages of the employee journey and how it enhances culture. It is smart, incredibly practical and nuanced, providing me and my team with plenty of ideas to put into action. This is a must-read book that not only challenges the status quo, but one that L&D professionals can rely on to inspire them to make stuff happen."

"Collaborative learning is one of the defining characteristics of high performing learning organizations - talked about by many but practiced by few. It's time for action! I'd echo Nick's own advice in this book - pick it up, use the ideas in the case studies and stories - test them, experiment with them and see what works!"

"Nick makes a strong case for the power, the impact and the absolute necessity of collaborative learning in today's increasingly digital and remote workplaces. Yesterday's top-down learning approaches no longer serve our businesses or employees. It is well past time to put learners in the driver's seat of their own performance and development. Collaborative learning does just that."
