A clearer forecast for your organisation's digital future.
TechFreedom helps social purpose organisations understand their technology dependencies and start making deliberate choices about them. First cohort launches towards the end of April 2026.
Most organisations don't choose their technology stack; they inherit it. Over time, a tangle of SaaS subscriptions, cloud services, and platform dependencies builds up, often without anyone noticing the risks.
TechFreedom is a three-session cohort programme that examines your technology through five risk lenses:
- Jurisdiction: Where does your data actually live, and under whose laws?
- Business Continuity: What happens when a platform changes the rules?
- Surveillance: How much does your tech stack know about you?
- Lock-in: How difficult would it be to switch away?
- Cost Exposure: What happens when pricing changes?
The programme follows three stages: SEE (map your dependencies), ASSESS (score the risks), and PLAN (build a roadmap). £300 + VAT per person, 6-10 organisations per cohort.
