Digital not quite working for you; data not making sense or supporting decisions; projects not delivering; costs racking up? Not sure where to start or what to do next?
I’m Dr Simon Davey.
“Digital change only works when people use it. I work with you to build confidence, overcome resistance, and embed new ways of working. The outcome: adoption that lasts — so technology investments actually deliver value.”
“I help charities work smarter and deliver more impact through better digital and smarter projects – supporting people, strengthening organisations and making improvements stick.
With 25 years sector experience, I can help make your technology work, your data make sense and your projects deliver.
I’ll be your guide, support and follow through from small scale improvements to full on digital transformation. Because you deserve better than an ongoing tech headache.”
I’m here to help you CLARIFY and RESOLVE your frustrations and overwhelm with digital, data and ‘how you work’ by working on the right problem the right way. Make your life easier and reach out for a chat today.

Doing things better and doing better things
With less pain and a better path
Improving Information Management, Data Protection and Information Security
Helping a small organisation refine their information architecture (where stuff lives), their systems, processes and guidance and supporting the change.
Saving time, reducing frustration, improving compliance, saving money.
What I’m working on
AI to support cognitive overwhelm and disability
Supporting a senior manager to take advantage of AI tools and ways of working to reduce cognitive overwhelm and provide better reasonable adjustments.
Making things work, using tools better, enhancing abilities.
Mapping the blockers (improving how we work and how we support others)
Getting clear on intentions, mapping the way the team works (complete with decision points and communication touchpoints) and building the plan to resolve internal (and customer) frustrations. Refining processes and what’s needed to work better.
Making things work, enabling the plan, getting clear what’s needed.
What Clients are Saying
"Simon has allowed our organisation to see a more independent future.
He has a meticulous approach to detail and ability to persevere through any challenges along the way by getting to the heart of an issue quickly with a logical and rational approach.
This has made a huge difference to the project and has been very reassuring."
"Simon is a rare breed of consultant - you can share a problem with him and he openly shares his expertise to support you to come up with the best solution - which may or may not require his support.
It means you can rely on Simon to be solution focused and honest, and because of this I will always work with Simon and recommend his services at any opportunity."
My Approach
Understand the real problem
Firstly, I listen to you (so I understand).
Then we clarify the problem together.
Next we agree a plan (one block at a time).
Then Get It Done.
Finally we Check It Worked (and iron out any snags).
Values
I take a values based approach to all my work and communication:
Curiosity
Clarity
Kindness
Determination
Transforming Digital in a Charity
A pile of tech that doesn’t quite work, systems that people don’t use (because they don’t know how) and a lack of clear direction. It was time for a transformation!
Case Studies - How I Helped
Inspiring Education and Skills
Can we build ability, belief and character through an intervention programme? How do we encourage kids to come to school on a Saturday?

FAQ
-
First things first, don't be nervous. We'll start with a free consultation (a conversation) to determine your needs (and if we'll make great collaborators).
-
Pricing is based on both the project's scope and your desired timeline. (I promise fair rates and will always require your approval before we begin).
-
Timelines depend on the project. I’ve worked with clients for a couple of days or a few years (part time or retainer). Some clients change jobs and come back multiple times.

Just reach out for a chat. There’s no obligation. It might be easier to resolve than you think. Remember, a trouble shared is a trouble halved.
