Way-shower & catalyst for GTD

Description
“He’s The Mentor That Coached David Allen.”
If you want to know the prime catalyst for the development of GTD, meet Dean Acheson. Early in David Allen’s career, they met, and Dean was willing to mentor him in an elegant organizational change model he had developed over many years. That format included one-on-one coaching for everyone in the organization, which in turn uncovered “open loops” (what we now call the Mind Sweep), and next-action decisions about all of them--clearing the organizational decks to be ready for the changes. If you meet up with Dean at the Summit, be ready for a ride into a very smart universe!
