The potters wheel, the hand loom … crafts skills used to be the way the world worked before the era of mass production stormed in a century ago.
Peter Day talks to Professor Richard Sennett who says that business, indeed every organisation, still has lots to learn from the art of the crafts person.
In Business also hears from two clever craftsmen who agree heartily, one of them the man who created the special effects behind the movies of Lord of the Rings and King Kong. | | | Contributors:

| | | | | | About In Business
We try to make ear-grabbing programmes about the whole world of work, public and private, from vast corporations to modest volunteers.
In Business is all about change. New ways of work and new technologies are challenging most of the assumptions by which organisations have been run for the last 100 years. We try to report on ideas coming over the horizon, just before they start being talked about. We hope it is an exhilarating ride.
