The old book-metaphor with chapters and pages is well suited for linear courses, but it doesn’t work for more flexible individual approaches of e-Learning.

The key idea of the book is that small agile companies working together can create innovative solutions in a pace big corporations only can dream of. Locatienet was mentioned in the book as an example of a Piranha.
