Looking for a quick and easy read on biomimicry and the potential of bioinspired innovation more broadly? A recent addition to the Sustainable Design faculty, Taryn Mead, PhD, is excited to introduce her new book now available through Business Expert Press. This introduction to bioinspired design is intended for the busy professional who has only a few hours to dedicate to learning the basics of the field. While it provides numerous references for technical, design, and innovation resources, it is written in a conversational and accessible language for a variety of disciplines. After an introductory chapter dedicated to the basic philosophy of learning from nature and some of the challenges with sustainability-oriented innovation, it covers a variety of ways that bioinspiration can be incorporated into management, operations, product development, and innovation in socio-ecological systems. The final chapters introduce a variety of tools and approaches and strategies for implementation in different organization types. If you are interested in taking a course with Taryn, she will be teaching the Biomimicry for Designers this Spring 2018. This 5-week online Continuing Education course will run from April 2-May 8.
