doqit | Simplify Your Life Admin

We all have more personal paperwork, information and documents, than ever before. Sometimes also managing for our children, partner, and other family members. 

It’s stressful and chaotic. 

We’re using a variety of on and off-line places like files, piles, spreadsheets, apps, cloud storage, emails, notes on the fridge to try and help us reduce the overwhelm.

There has to be a better way. 

doqit is that way. A single place to manage life admin at your fingertips helping reduce the overwhelm and quagmire. Less time, less unnecessary spend, and less stress…. Giving you more time to do the things you enjoy. 

We want to help business owners help their people and customers by flipping out the old tired, ineffective benefits, and replacing with doqit a cost-effective, value driven, relevant benefit. 

For less than the price of a coffee each month you can make sure your most important people know in advance when their MOT is due, have somewhere to store everything from their contract to P45, and mange home info!

⭐ Sharing another endorsement as the launch of 𝗧𝗵𝗲 𝗔𝗱𝗮𝗽𝘁𝗶𝘃𝗲 𝗟𝗲𝗮𝗱𝗲𝗿 approaches on 𝟴 𝗗𝗲𝗰𝗲𝗺𝗯𝗲𝗿, and this one comes from someone who has shaped much of the global conversation around agility. ⭐

Evan Leybourn, Cofounder and Head of Advocacy & Thought-Leadership at the Business Agility Institute, offers a view that cuts right to the core of the book: organisations cannot rely on frameworks alone. Progress comes from leadership that understands how agility works across strategy, culture, and delivery.

Senior leaders, coaches, and transformation teams will recognise the pressures Evan describes. Many executives want agility to scale, but find themselves held back by structures that haven’t evolved. Evan highlights why this matters. Agility only becomes sustainable when leaders take ownership of it and embed it far beyond software teams. Finance, HR, marketing, and education — each area has a role to play.

I’m grateful for Evan’s endorsement. His words underline the purpose of this book: give leaders a way to close the gap between intent and reality, build confidence in their decisions, and shape organisations that stay steady when the pressure rises.

Giles Lindsay (CITP FIAP FBCS FCMI)

⭐ Sharing the next endorsement for 𝗧𝗵𝗲 𝗔𝗱𝗮𝗽𝘁𝗶𝘃𝗲 𝗟𝗲𝗮𝗱𝗲𝗿 ahead of its release on 𝟴 𝗗𝗲𝗰𝗲𝗺𝗯𝗲𝗿, and this one comes from someone who understands leadership at a deep and practical level. ⭐

Femi Odelusi, PCC and Transformation and Executive Coach, highlights how the book connects Agile’s roots with the leadership behaviours organisations need right now. His view reflects a challenge many leaders face: teams want to move with pace and clarity, yet structures and habits hold them back.

The book aims to solve that gap. It offers leaders a way to move past conflicting advice, build alignment, and strengthen the conditions that help teams deliver meaningful progress. Femi’s endorsement reinforces the idea that agility succeeds when it becomes a cross-functional mindset rather than a niche practice.

I’m grateful for his support. His perspective will speak to leaders across technology, HR, finance, marketing, education, and every area where alignment and confidence matter.
