My Technically Simple Approach
I take a thoughtful, intentional approach to helping organizations use technology effectively. Choosing the right apps matters. How they're designed around your work, and how confidently your people use them, matter just as much.
These four principles guide everything I do at Technically Simple, grounded in a belief that technology should improve the quality of life and work.
Powerful technology alone doesn't make an organization effective; the people using it do. I help individuals develop strong personal productivity skills, drawing on David Allen's Getting Things Done (GTD) methodology and my own Holistic Productivity approach. A team of productive individuals, combined with well-thought-out collaborative apps, is a winning combination.
Principle 1:
Productivity Begins with People
I specialize in a carefully chosen set of apps that I trust and know inside out. Each one is proven, well established, and has earned its place over years of hands-on use. My experience also comes from supporting many organizations with these apps, across a wide range of industries and ways of working. Working with a focused set means I bring genuine depth to every app I recommend.
Principle 2:
Carefully Chosen Apps
A capable app isn't enough on its own. For it to have an impact, it needs to be set up in a way that mirrors your organization's processes and workflows. I work closely with you to understand how your work actually flows, then shape the setup to match those patterns. The result feels like a natural extension of how your team already works.
Principle 3:
Design Apps Around How You Work
A well-designed system only delivers when people use it with confidence. I train the people who'll rely on it, covering both the app's features and the structure and conventions established during the design, so they can work independently. All training is delivered over Zoom.
Principle 4:
Build Confidence Through Training
