Randall Dean has more than 15 years of experience
using and teaching an advanced time management/personal
organization system. He has taught different versions
of his time management system for many prominent organizations including
Procter & Gamble, Michigan State University, The
Fetzer Institute, the Graduate Management Admissions Councile, The University of Pittsburgh, Ohio State
University, the Michigan Association for Continuing Education & Training, and The Michigan Society of Association
Executives for groups
as small as one and as large as 175. He has personally
tested his time management system in major corporate,
academic, and non-profit settings, as well as in small
and fast-paced for-profit companies, and has found the
system to be flexible enough to provide great support
in all of these differing environments. In 2000,
he switched from a paper-based planner time management
system to a PDA-based time management system, and has
ample experience using and teaching both kinds of systems.
His time-management training program received the
highest ratings of all new-hire training programs for
the Market Research Department at Procter & Gamble
in 1997-1998. It has consistently received very
high ratings by current students and graduates of the
Broad MBA Program at Michigan State University, including
100% of the program participants rating the program
as above average or excellent in both May 2004 and
October 2004 sessions
of the program. Dean received similar impressive ratings
in recent programs (2004-2006) at The Katz Graduate School of Business,
University of Pittsburgh, and The Fisher College of
Business, Ohio State University. (Click here to read
about the results of these and numerous other recent programs).
His effective use of a sophisticated time management
system has allowed him to be very successful in several
important professional positions, including Director
of MBA Admissions for the Full-Time Broad MBA Program
at Michigan State University, Market Research Supervisor
for the Rx-to-OTC switch of Prilosec® at Procter &
Gamble, Subscriber Services Coordinator of ADVANCES:
The Journal of Mind-Body Health at The Fetzer Institute,

among other accomplishments, he was awarded a Crystal
Award by the Mid-Michigan Chapter of the Public Relations
Society of America for his research work on a newspaper
media audit conducted for People and Land/WK Kellogg
Foundation.
He has previously been interviewed by Business Week
Online, and has presented at annual meetings for the
Graduate Management Admissions Council, the Council
of Michigan Foundations Land Use Funders Conference,
and the Michigan Association of County Drain Commissioners
Conference. He was the primary author and researcher
on an FDA-resultant study that helped lead to the over-the-counter
approval of Prilosec®, the #1 OTC heartburn remedy.
He was prominently quoted in the recent publication,
Accepted! 50 Successful Business School Admission Essays.
He graduated with honors from Western Michigan
University in 1991, and was honored as the top graduate
of the Broad MBA Program at Michigan State University
in 1997. He is an active member of the National Speakers Association (NSA), American Society
for Training and Development (ASTD), and Michigan Society for Association Executives.
He recently completed a new book
titled Major Satisfactors = Major Success, that details
his personal system for proactive life and time management,
personal organization, and goal attainment. He is married
