Speaker A I'm Herb Kopowitz. I'm a management consultant. My organization is called Terra Firma Management Consulting the and in that work, I'm primarily making use of the models and templates and methods from Requisite Organization. I work primarily in the areas of organizational structure, staffing and management practices. I got into this it's a long circuitous route. My undergraduate background was in math and philosophy, developed a pretty early interest in history of science, philosophy of science, and Epistemology in general theory of knowledge. And that extended into graduate school in psychology, where I focused in two areas. One was TJ's developmental Psychology. He actually called his approach Epistemology genetic Epistemology, and the other was general system theory. And from that point, I was working in the workplace in a variety of areas, primarily organization, development, team building without a solid basis for any of the work I was doing, any of the advice I was giving my. Clients until I met Elliot Jacks in, I think, was 1990, and I think it was in 91 that he came to Toronto and did his first seven day training here. And that's where my real engagement with Requisite Organization began.
