Benjamin Graham
Edit ProfileCareer
He saw a growing need for improvement in information processing back in the 1940s (when the professional and clerical segments of the workforce were still in the minority). Graham started his career in the insurance business. In the 1940s he was trained in work simplification by Allan H. Mogensen and Lillian Gilbreth, which had started at the 1944 Simplification Conferences at Lake Placid, where he participated in Mogensens class.
Graham also participated in the programs of the Simplification Round Tables at New York University, the spring Methods Conferences conducted by the Wharton School of Finance at the University of Pennsylvania and at University of California, Los Angeles’s Engineering and Management Course.
Massachusetts Institute of Technology, Northwestern University, Cornell and Georgia are among other colleges that called upon Mr. Graham throughout his career.
Graham organized and directed the Paperwork Simplification Conferences held at Madison, Wisconsin in the spring and fall, at the Seigniory Club, Quebec, Canada in the spring and at the University of Dayton, Ohio in the fall. He conducted many sold-out public training workshops between 1953 and 1959 along with numerous in-house workshops for organizations in the United States, Canada and South America.
He also conducted hundreds of speaking engagements to professional societies.
Ben South. Graham, Senior died in 1960 at the age of 59.
