Work is a place where my activity is rewarded
ivity makes your existing technology work better for your business
ivity addresses four key issues:
​
#1 How can people use computers to improve productivity?
#2 What is data literacy and why should you care about it?
#3 How can computer literacy improve well-being and reduce stress at work?
#4 Why people skills are the best foundations for improving quality systems and encouraging analytics.
​
Technological change has revolutionised how we communicate at work and at home. Jenny saw
people at the heart of retail businesses struggling to influence and control their systems. So, she set
about creating accessible training.
​
ivity addresses professional development needs in a way that’s immediately relevant to an individual’s work.
​
Jenny Barnes founded ivity in 2019 to improve access to data skills for people in the workplace. Since then the impact of technology has only accelerated.
​​​
After years working in retail businesses at the forefront of technical adoption, Jenny saw few teams getting the most from their technical suite. Capable people were struggling and job hopping – hoping the systems and ways of working were better elsewhere. Churn of people was negatively affecting business relationships and business outcomes. Blame cultures were thriving. Now easily accessible AI agents are changing how we do what we do once again.
​​
System change has created huge disruption, stress and waste.
​​
But it does not have to be that way.

IT Does Matter
Information Technology matters to everyone, our planet and for future generations. We live in a digital economy and computerisation has revolutionised how we work and play. We ALL have a role in data - as creators, guardians, analysts, and consumers of data. Computers have accelerated our collective thinking power. But they've also accelerated waste and burnout. And they've given us different kinds of security risks. It's important that our first computers - our beautiful brains - are at the heart of system design.
Our #ITMATTERS blog covers all will find content on all kinds of business practice, workplace and system thinking - from building and unlocking your business-wide data strategy to AI agents talking botshit we comment on it all.

Testimonials
"I wanted to look at streamlining my systems and making them more effective for my client healthcare records and organisation.
​
I had a system in mind and Jenny helped navigate me through the system and then added functionality to enable me to collect data for future analysis of my business. Jenny had just the right approach for me, making things easy to understand and her down to earth style really worked to guide me through my system changes. Tech not being my strength this was very important to me to have this approach. Through Jenny's help and expertise I am now operating more effectively and happily in my business. I definitely recommend Jenny for assisting in smarter systems in your business. Thank you Jenny!"
