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.

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, and Marketing
& Media Strategist for Pace & Partners, where, 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 with one child, and resides in East
Lansing, Michigan.
