About Simpler Work

Direct support from the person doing the work.

Simpler Work is led by Sam McNeill, helping small businesses and charities make better use of Microsoft 365, automation, data and AI.

The approach is deliberately practical: understand the friction first, recommend only what is useful, and design solutions that people can confidently use and maintain.

Working principles

01

People before platforms

The technology should fit the people, responsibilities and capacity of the organisation using it.

02

Useful before impressive

A focused solution that removes real friction is more valuable than unnecessary features and complexity.

03

Capability, not dependency

Clear documentation, training and handover help your organisation remain confident after delivery.
