What is the purpose of Nakedize?
Knowledge workers are the billion-or-so people who do problem-solving jobs — like advisors, designers, scientists, engineers, managers, and leaders.
The purpose of Nakedize is to help these influential workers to dramatically improve their overall effectiveness and efficiency, so they are better equipped to help us all.
In our restless, 24/7 ‘Information Age’, so much effort goes into creating ever-more information, but information is not a human need: knowledge (of how to live well) is our need.
In a context of acute information oversupply, Nakedize teaches others how to identify and produce helpful information, which is the only kind of information knowledge workers should produce.
Nakedize achieves its purpose this by creating and sharing helpful information in the form of concise texts, one-day seminars, and tailored consultancy.
Which organisations have we helped?
Over the past 22 years, Simon has delivered to professional development training to thousands of knowledge workers from more than one hundred organisations, and consultancy services to dozens more.
