Dean Meyer is passionate about organizational design. He facilitates transformation processes; and he coaches executives on organizational issues.

Dean is a leading thinker in the businesses-within-a-business paradigm, where the organizational hierarchy holds a network of empowered internal entrepreneurs.

Dean is both a visionary and a mechanic. He paints a clear picture of how organizations should work. And he helps leaders implement that vision with pragmatic frameworks and change-management methods.

For over 40 years, Dean has dedicated his career to developing a science of what others may call "soft" challenges -- the organizational ecosystem in which we work.

• He developed an entirely new science of organizational structure, and methods to induce flexible, effective cross-boundary teamwork.

• He pioneered the application of market economics inside organizations to design business planning, budgeting, service costing, demand management, and alignment processes.

• He invented a method and tool -- FullCost -- for business planning, budgeting, and product/service costing that makes it practical for an organization to calculate the true cost of its entire product line.

• He developed an approach to corporate culture (based on learning theory) that leads to meaningful change in less than a year.

His research and real-world experience have resulted in well-documented principles and frameworks, and proven, participative change processes.

Dean has personally facilitated transformations in dozens of diverse corporate, health care, higher education, not-for-profit, and public-sector organizations.

Dean is the author of eight books, including his capstone, How Organizations Should Work. In addition, he's published countless webinars, videos, monographs, and articles.

Dean's consulting practice is NDMA (N. Dean Meyer and Associates Inc.) in Danbury, CT. It was established in 1982.

Dean received a BS from the University of California at Berkeley, and an MBA from the Stanford School of Business.
