About Us
Tech for Non-Techies is a boutique professional services firm helping governments, corporates and executives succeed through education strategy and programming. In an age when even your coffee shop has an app, every company is a tech company. This means that to succeed today, every ambitious professional needs to Speak Tech.
Speaking tech is not the same thing as doing tech. It means learning how to collaborate with technologists, ask the right questions and align business goals with technology strategy. We do not teach people to code, because we do not believe that this will bring the best ROI for most professionals today.
