First sentence: On stage was a six-foot-square sheet of black paper with about eight buckets of paint on the floor in front.
Description: "In the traditional model, business operates in an economic flow of inputs (resources and raw materials), outputs (products and services) and processes that help get you from one to the other (research and development, production, distribution). Davis and McIntosh show that artistic flow operates the same way, but with inputs that include things like emotion, imagination, and intuition; and outputs that include things like beauty, meaning, excitement, and enjoyment. Step by step, Davis and McIntosh show how you and your company can blend the two flows, interweaving them to achieve both success and fulfillment in everything you do."--Jacket.
