The overall concept of TCAM may have significant social relevance & economic impact both internationally and locally !
To put theTCAM idea in context, "Imagine international healing centers where patients actually feel better just being there and work spaces designed to facilitate creativity while preventing disease ! Now imagine what standards and specifications could be developed to duplicate the best ideas and facilitate even better ones ! Consider everything of relevance, from the design of buildings, landscape, educational systems, legal systems, managament and continuous improvement strategies, to such details as what books to put in the spiritual diversity chapel library. Have fun; and by the way, imagine that you have infinate resources at your disposal and that there are no unsurmountable barriers to block the success of your project. Imaging anything your want to, regardless of how outrageous it may at first seem and know that it is ok to change your mind ! "
Here are a few mock mission statements and tactics which might stimulate further creative thinking regarding the development and refinement of possible learning organizational systems designated here as TCAM [Note that other names may eventually evolve if the generic TCAM concept becomes popular in the future].
