Dean Meyer
Dean is one of the original proponents of the business-within-a-business paradigm -- the vision that shared-services organizations like IT should perform best when every small group is managed as an entrepreneurship, producing its products and services for customers inside and outside the organization.
He's also a pioneer in identifying the organizational systems that guide people's performance. He's facilitated transformations in many diverse organizations with participative change processes that engage your leadership team in designing and implementing systemic changes.
Dean developed a method to change organizational culture in less than a year as well as the entire science of organizational structure that he developed. He's also a pioneer in the application of market-economics as the basis for designing resource governance processes. This led him to invent FullCost -- software and a practical business and budget planning process based on product/service costs.
Dean is the author of eight books, numerous monographs and research reports, and countless articles throughout the past three decades. He was author of the popular CIO.COM monthly column, Beneath the Buzz, where for over two years he cut through the hype and explained hot management buzzwords in common sense terms, with a perspective on what's there and what's not.
Dean coaches shared-services executives, and still personally facilitates transformation processes.
