<br />
<span style="background-color: white; font-family: arial, sans-serif; font-size: 13px;">It was a pleasure to meet you during the recent <a href="http://www.tocico.org/">TOCICO</a> conference. I am really interested in learning about your approach to organizational structure.</span><br />
<br />
<span style="background-color: white; font-family: arial, sans-serif; font-size: 13px;">Is there any source that I can consult in order to study <a href="http://www.sergeyivanov.org/Pages/OrgStudies.aspx">your methodology</a>?</span><br />
<br />
<span style="background-color: white; font-family: arial, sans-serif; font-size: 13px;">Best regards,</span><br />

<span style="background-color: white; font-family: arial, sans-serif; font-size: 13px;">Hello David,</span><br />

So good to meet you in Chicago/St. Charles. You asked a difficult question. I couldn't answer it at the conference, and not sure I am going to give you a coherent answer today.</div>
<div style="background-color: white; font-family: arial, sans-serif; font-size: 13px;">
<br /></div>
<div style="background-color: white; font-family: arial, sans-serif; font-size: 13px;">
I think there is no way to learn this methodology right now. Some folks like to point out to various books:</div>

<div style="background-color: white; font-family: arial, sans-serif; font-size: 13px;">
Working Papers:</div>
<div style="background-color: white; font-family: arial, sans-serif; font-size: 13px;">

<br /></div>
<div style="background-color: white; font-family: arial, sans-serif; font-size: 13px;">
But I don't think you can really learn the practice from a book. Try learning martial arts from a manual. You need a teacher, practical experience, keen interest (which you have), good books/papers (above), and residency.</div>
<div style="background-color: white; font-family: arial, sans-serif; font-size: 13px;">
<br /></div>
<div style="background-color: white; font-family: arial, sans-serif; font-size: 13px;">
I am beginning to believe that there has to be a paradigm similar to medical doctors:</div>
<div style="background-color: white; font-family: arial, sans-serif; font-size: 13px;">
<br /></div>
<div style="background-color: white; font-family: arial, sans-serif; font-size: 13px;">
A Set School Program with experienced instructors</div>
<div style="background-color: white; font-family: arial, sans-serif; font-size: 13px;">
Residency, where you get to practice</div>
<div style="background-color: white; font-family: arial, sans-serif; font-size: 13px;">
<br /></div>
<div style="background-color: white; font-family: arial, sans-serif; font-size: 13px;">
None exists today. There is not a business school in the world that offers a single course, especially overtime, into any of these concepts.</div>
<div style="background-color: white; font-family: arial, sans-serif; font-size: 13px;">
<br /></div>
<div style="background-color: white; font-family: arial, sans-serif; font-size: 13px;">
I am slowly putting up articles, but even there I do not describe the exact methods of getting the data and approach. I am going to put a book out, but even that would not be sufficient. To answer your question, we need to create a set course, 2-weeks at least (4-weeks better), and then 1-2-year practice, where you would have support from colleagues/instructors as you implement, and make mistakes, in practice. Perhaps TOCICO could be a good organization to facilitate this.</div>

<br /></div>
<div style="background-color: white; font-family: arial, sans-serif; font-size: 13px;">
What are your ideas?</div>
