Anthrotechnic
Helping you discover and enact new ways of thinking about people, process and technology.
Who are Anthrotechnic?
Anthrotechnic is the online home of Consultant and Digital Anthropologist Tim Saunders.
Here to help you deliver more effective digital outcomes for your clients, users and customers. Using a blend of consultancy, research, analysis and hands on delivery, we can help you make sense of your systems and users. Once we have helped you make sense of things, we can help you think strategically, act in the present and learn continuously.
Our approach
How we work
01
Observe
The first step is to understand where we are, to take stock of the forces at play, to make sure we understand your specific context, before we act or advise.
02
Define
Once we understand where we are, we help you define the right interventions for the situation - constructing an intentional plan of action.
03
Act
Through a series of experiments and iterative/incremental steps, we help you act on your systems to build or reinvigorate your capabilities.
04
Sustain
Finally, we help you sustain the change that we have started, embedding new thinking in your organisation for the long term.
Capabilities
Our services
Something amiss with your process, organisation or people? We can work with you to uncover the root causes of your problems. Taking into consideration the technical and cultural landscape, we can get to the heart of the matter in no time.
Not sure where you should be heading with your products and services, or unsure what technical approaches will reap the most benefit? We can help you map the current contextual landscape and put together a strategy to help you make better decisions.
Need a fresh pair of eyes or just a different read on a situation? We can help you grasp an alternative point of view and bring fresh ideas to bear on things. Or perhaps you just want to have an exploratory conversation with your team, in a facilitated workshop - where we can help you generate a perspectival shift.
Using the power of Low/No code platforms - take your processes and tools to the next level, empowering your entire organisation. We can help you explore and implement Low/No code powered solutions, teaching you and your teams to get the most out of this new paradigm.
We can help you understand your customers, organisation or the broader cultural contexts you operate in. Our research is based on solid Ethnographic and Anthropological techniques, with real insights based on how things are - not how we want them to be.
Testimonials
What people have said
Using a program of continuous experimentation and encouraging a culture of self and team improvement, our workplace was quietly, carefully and radically revolutionised. Tim always navigates a path with empathy and clarity, taking organisations to a place they need to get to and often to places they didn't know they could reach.
Accomplished at translating technical language into easily understood terms as well as being both practical and pragmatic when finding solutions. I really enjoyed working with Tim, and I would not hesitate to recommend him as a consultant.
He is highly experienced and brings a real "human" side to digital delivery. Tim always takes a pragmatic and flexible approach to any day to day challenges .
I was always impressed of Tim’s ability to command the room and do not let people losing focus on target. Leading projects is something that comes naturally for him and he makes a dramatic difference in the productivity level of a team.
