Simple Richard is a management consultancy and coaching service that seeks to bring the benefits of simplicity to the complexity of today's workplace. Simplicity is hardly a new concept - two and a half thousand years ago Confucius observed:
"Life is really simple, but we insist on making it complicated"
Albert Einstein brought the theme into the modern era when he stated:
If neither of these points resonate with you then, my friend, you are on the wrong site."Everything should be made as simple as possible, but not simpler"

Today we are faced with an ever increasing diversity of options and tools that promise freedom but actually seem to add load and complexity: mobile telephones; BlackBerry devices; notebook computers; PDAs; and others. All adding up to an out of balance 24x7 existence. Here at Simple Richard we strive to bring simplicity to bear in a number of fields:
- One to one / one to several coaching - helping business leaders find new ways to do more;
- Project consultancy - coaching existing project managers through to full project leadership;
- Introducing agile methods - a 'just enough' approach to getting more done throughout the organisation; and
- IT Governance consultancy - getting the balance right to provide control without stifling innovation.
