Randall
Finfrock:
Founder, CEO and President
Randall started using behavior management thirty years ago. As an undergraduate, he attended the University of Kansas’ Department of Human Development and Family Life, the country’s top program in behavior analysis, the roots of organizational behavior management. He also received his graduate degree from Kansas, investigating the effects of motivation, modeling and feedback on work, social and training behaviors.
For three years, Randall worked for Project Follow Through, a federally funded, compensatory education program “following” students from preschool into public school. He consulted various public schools throughout the country in the use behavior analysis techniques in the classroom, and was Research Director for the Midwest Regional Training Center. He specialized in the design, implementation and evaluation of small group incentive and learning systems, and teacher training programs.
After Follow Through, Randall co-founded a community-based behavioral treatment center for Native American youth. He served as program director of education and work programs for ten years. The center offered behavioral treatments — motivational, social, educational and vocational — to court adjudicated youth. Innovative skill training and incentive systems (combining monetary, point and performance level systems) were developed and tested to increase youths’ behavioral deficiencies while reducing behavioral excesses. Teaching parents and staff received sophisticated behavior management training programs to effectively implement program procedures and goals. Both process and recidivism research funded by NIMH showed the center to be a dramatic success.
Taking time off from corrections reform, Randall worked in corporate sales for an international firm for several years. In 1997, he co-founded a productivity software company in San Jose, California, where he served as Chief Operating Officer and director. After much soul-searching, he left the software company to pursue organizational behavior management. He now focuses on the application of behavior management to corporate team incentive and learning systems. He resides in Silicon Valley and runs Incentas full-time.
