Chauncey Frederick Bell III (born September 29, 1944) is a U.S.-based business management consultant, designer, author, and inventor. Bell has been a leader in the invention and application of a new theoretical framework for improving organizational performance and designing the way services are delivered in many economic sectors, based on language action perspective; speech act theory and the work of J. L. Austin and John Searle; cognitive science, especially the work of Francisco Varela and Humberto Maturana; and continental philosophy, particularly the work of Martin Heidegger.
The framework and practices that he and his colleagues developed are best known commercially for their contribution to the development of Cemex from a regional Mexican cement company to one of the most admired companies in the world. In the course of a long collaboration with Fernando Flores, Bell led the development of several well-known commercial innovations. He currently works out of his own firm, Chauncey Bell & Associates, in Seattle, Washington.

You have asked for an intensive program of 6 months duration to train several of your people to become designers in the tradition in which we work. Depending upon the competence and experience of the people you give us to train, it is possible to deliver a range from minimally competent to mid-level journeyman designers in that period of time. Achieving higher levels of competence can be produced with additional coaching while the designer-trainees are involved in design projects. read more here.
