Frederick A. Miller

"A pioneer and leading authority on creating cultures of inclusion that are high performing and enable each person to do their best work, Frederick A. Miller was noted in The Age of Heretics (Currency Doubleday, 1996, 2008) as one of the forerunners of corporate change. In his 30 plus years of experience he has worked with numerous CEOs and senior-level executives. Fred has also been involved with many Founders as they transition from a "foundercentric" culture to one of a professional management staff. He was involved with this transition at Ben & Jerry’s Homemade, Inc., where he was on the board of directors for eight years.

"Fred is particularly respected for his ability to examine a system, issue, or culture (small group, community, or organization) at multiple levels and quickly translate his observations into a customized, strategic vision and change-oriented action.

Fred is currently on the board of directors for Day & Zimmermann, a $1.9 billion family-owned business; Seton Health Systems; The Sage Colleges; and World Education. He is a member of the Social Venture Network, where he and Judith H. Katz, Executive Vice-President at KJCG, have worked with socially responsible organizations as they build cultures in which they can live their values and accomplish their mission. He is a former board member of National Training Labs (NTL Institute), American Society for Training & Development, and the Organization Development Network, which honored him in 1999 as the first recipient of its Outstanding Service Award and in 2007 with the Lifetime Achievement Award.

"Fred is co-author, with Judith Katz, of The Inclusion Breakthrough: Unleashing the Real Power of Diversity (Berrett-Koehler, 2002), and Be BIG: Step Up, Step Out, Be Bold (Berrett-Koehler, 2008) and Managing Editor of The Promise of Diversity (McGraw-Hill Professional Publishing, 1994). He has been published in Chief Learning Officer, OD Practitioner, HR Professional, and Executive Excellence. He is also a regular speaker at national conferences."
