Good sites about applied improvisation

In order to better grasp the concept of applied improvisation and its many facets, I regularly check a few different sites.  First, The Applied Improvisation Network is an absolute must.  The site serves as a central hub and networking tool for anyone interested about the topic.  I found the forums particularly useful and even used many reading suggestions as a springboard for research on my thesis.  Next, a rarely updated site, appliedimprovisation.org has links to quite a few decent essays on the topic.  There is also an excellent book on the subject, Organizational Improvisation, written by Ken N. Kamoche.  The book focuses on jazz improvisation and its parallels to organizational structures, and I found it more helpful than any other source when I wrote my thesis.  Furthermore, one can find a plethora of sites dedicated to educating businesses about the benefits of improvisation.  In Austin alone, I know of three.  Improvisers who teach seminars tend to be good sources for anecdotal evidence of the benefits of improvisation.  There are a few more sites out there, but the above links provide the best start for anyone interested in the subject.
