Artful Making offers the first proven, research-based framework for engineering ingenuity and innovation. This book is the result of a multi-year collaboration between Harvard Business School professor Robert Austin and leading theatre director and playwright Lee Devin. Together, they demonstrate striking structural similarities between theatre artistry and production and today's business projects--and show how collaborative artists have mastered the art of delivering innovation "on cue," on immovable deadlines and budgets. These methods are neither mysterious nor flaky: they are rigorous, precise, and--with this book's help--absolutely learnable and reproducible. They rely on cheap and rapid iteration rather than on intensive up-front planning, and with the help of today's enabling technologies, they can be applied in virtually any environment with knowledge-based outputs. Moreover, they provide an overarching framework for leveraging the full benefits of today's leading techniques for promoting flexibility and innovation, from agile development to real options.

Bamboo is brilliantly and elegantly explored in this book that combines an authoritative text, dealing with the cultural and aesthetic as well as the technical aspects of bamboo, with 162 pages of stunning photographs, including 32 in full color. In the West, bamboo is most often thought of as a rare, exotic plant, ornamental in nature. In the East, however, the rustling bamboo grove is a familiar sight and the uses the plant is put to are so countless that life there would be unthinkable without it.
