To the great sorrow of everyone at The Performance Design Lab (PDL), our Founding Partner, Geary A. Rummler, passed away on October 29, 2008. Geary had an enormous influence on the field of performance improvement, and his loss to his family, to us, to our clients, and to his many, many students, colleagues, friends and admirers is beyond measure.


At the time of his passing, Geary was, as usual, brimming with ideas and as busy as ever thinking, writing, and building new concepts, tools and approaches, and the Partners at PDL have every intention of staying in business and continuing his work.
