 * WHAT WE DO
   
   DIGITAL DOESN'T NEED TO BE TOXIC. BUT IN OUR BUSINESS AND PERSONAL LIVES TOO
   OFTEN IT IS. WE BELIEVE THAT DIGITAL IS ABOUT PEOPLE, NOT TECHNOLOGY; AND WE
   ARE ON A MISSION TO HELP YOU AND THE BUSINESS YOU WORK IN BE HAPPIER,
   HEALTHIER, MORE PRODUCTIVE AND MORE STRATEGIC IN AN INCREASINGLY DIGITAL
   WORLD. OUR APPROACH IS BASED ON ENABLING YOU AND THE BUSINESS TO BE THE BEST
   VERSION OF YOURSELVES, NOT THE WORST.
   
    
   
   HERE ARE SOME OF THE THINGS WE DO:
   
   ADVENTURES
   
   
   
   Business loves to talk about Return On Investment (ROI), but should also add
   the measurement of Return On Adventure (ROA). We take groups on one day,
   three day and week long adventures for teams and groups to discover new ways
   to look at the world, each other and ourselves. Removed from the distraction
   of email, phone calls and social media, we take a deep breath and dive in to
   big themes from creativity, to productivity, to team work, to stress and to
   fun. Find out more about what ROA can deliver for you.
   
   KEYNOTE SPEAKING - ONLINE OR OFFLINE
   
   
   
   Martin Talks of Digital Detoxing is a well known speaker on how to thrive in
   an increasingly digital world. Recent keynotes include
   
   Relate Live, with Zendesk in New York: "Emotional Intelligence in a time of
   Artificial Intelligence".

   not use technology. We look at how to improve the collaboration, connectivity

   difference to the health, happiness and productivity of a company.
   
    * We take time to understand your business aims and desired culture
    * We assess the relationship people have with technology and working
      practices and look at the physical as well as virtual aspects
    * We would score your company against best practice
    * We produce an infographic showing where you could improve
    * And we then make recommendations and measurements so you can see the
      difference that a digital detoxed workplace can deliver.
   
   We conduct the audits through a combination of an on-site visit and
   observation, interviews and a questionnaire. Ask for a quote.
