-Hi Ken and AAcorn colleagues.
Can I follow Ken's example and draw your attention to the forthcoming Fourth Art and Organisation Conference to be held at Banff in Canada between September 9 and 12 2008.
Together with Per Darmer and Louise Grisoni, I am leading a stream on Poetry and Beauty in Organisational life.
Have a look at http://www.essex.ac.uk/AFM/emc/poetry_banff.htm
We really hope that you can attend and contribute to the stream.
See you in Banff!
all best regards
David Weir

---> Call for Papers to the 4th Art of Management Conference <---
The fourth Art of Management Conference meets from September 9 to 12 at
the Banff Center in Banff, Alberta, Canada.

This call invites papers and presentations for the stream on
Design: Management: Organization
The potential of design in management and organizations is now the focus
of a growing body of knowledge in practice and theory. Theoretical
results appear in books and journal articles, education programs, and
research projects, while businesses of all kinds put the findings into
practice, along with design firms, consulting firms, and universities.
Design is a practice of making. We realize design in many ways: as
artefact, system, and experience. The complexity and seemingly endless
potential of design is visible in fascinating and continuously evolving
ways.
In this stream, we ask what design thinking can mean, examining how we
can interpret and enact design thinking in thought, artifact, experience,
and action.
We invite contributions to this stream from practitioners and scholars
who explore the intersection of design, management, and organization. We
are particularly interested in discovering how people engage design in
management and organizational contexts. We welcome case study accounts
from designers, design managers, general managers, and scholars in design
theory and organization theory. We also welcome theoretical and
conceptual presentations.
Many questions will interest participants in this stream: Why is design
important to the future of management and organizational contexts? Can
design help us to save organizations? How do design organizations enact
design within their own management and organizational contexts? What is
design management? Is there a space for poetic design in managerial and
organizational contexts? We hope to explore design as creative practice,
design as critical thinking, design as systems management, and design as
The conveners of the stream hope to develop the presentations from this
stream into a special journal issue.
For papers, please submit abstracts of 500 words. For other
presentations, we will accept any appropriate media submission.
