Dean Meyer, president of NDMA, is one of the original proponents of running shared-services organizations within companies as businesses within a business, where every managerial group is an entrepreneurship funded to produce products and services for customers. He's implemented this philosophy in corporate, government, and non-profit organizations through the careful design of culture, organizational structure, and market-based resource-governance processes. Dean is the author of eight books, numerous monographs, countless articles, including the Full-cost Maturity Model. Dean invented FullCost, a business and budget planning process based on an internal product/service costing solution. He researched the science of organizational structure, captured in his Structural Cybernetics framework, and developed an approach to corporate culture that leads to meaningful change in less than a year. Dean coaches executives on organizational and political issues, and personally facilitates transformation processes. He holds a B.S. from the University of California at Berkeley, and an M.B.A. from Stanford.
