Teaching

The best teachers of requisite organization not only have doctorates in a management related field, but have also been general managers, and been consultants to general managers using these same methods.  Yes there are very few of these.

An author of a major textbook on organization design bemoaned that so few programs in management offered courses in organization design and so few professors felt qualified to teach it.

Why might this be true?

• Many professors of management have never been a manager, let alone a general manager
• Most do not consult at general manager levels where organization design would be a concern
• They have no personal experience of organization design and no stories to relate.

In the workplace

The best way to teach requisite organization-based organization design and management is to teach executive management teams in their organizations as they do their work.  Barry and Sheila Deane of PeopleFit Austral-Asia have developed this method of working with managers as they do their work.  Their Requisite Leadership Framework is available on this web site as a series of videos from a 2014 2.5 day clinic.

Executive Short Courses 

The best way to teach these methods in the university setting is in Continuing Education Executive Short Courses for managers capable at stratum IV and above.
Jan De Visch teaches in a short course where CEOs and their VPsHR attend together and the entire xx days are based on work levels principles.

Queens University IRC has a short course for Advanced HR managers that is largely based on work levels taught by an external consultant

Executive MBA

MBA

Undergraduate

One of the best examples we have found is Ricardo Gutierrez's course at the Technological Institute of Buenos Aires, an engineering school, where all are required to take a course about managing their career - entirely based on requisite organization principles.

High School

The most useful is to teach in relation to career planning, coaching, or in any courses designed to support students in their work. A good place to begin is to describe the structure and practices of typical places most students might work such as in fast food, food service, and retailing.
