“I have been completely overwhelmed lately, spinning my wheels and wondering which direction my nonprofit should head in.
A one-hour consult with Malcolm was like a breath of fresh air, clearing out of the operational cobwebs I was stuck in. I would highly recommend talking to Malcolm for any operational process conversations. The path forward for me is so much clearer and I am excited to take his recommendations and put them in to action.”
Testimonials
“Malcolm was able to provide immense insight that will absolutely translate into saved dollars and headaches, and he knew and could speak to the pain points that are unique to purpose-led organizations. I’ve recommended him to one other NGO already, and wouldn’t hesitate to do the same again!”
Hi, I'm Malcolm, Optimi's founder
I’ve been a technologist since 1987 (the good ol' Apple IIe). Over these 30+ years, the theme has been change—and it's only getting faster. When I started using Zapier in 2014 to eliminate manual admin that drove me nuts, it connected to about 200 apps. Now it's over 6,000 and growing rapidly! At Optimi, we love to geek out about these rapid tech changes and how they can improve your work life so you can have more impact and less stress.
We believe in working smarter, not harder (a cliché for a reason!). But I’m not just about productivity or profit; I'm passionate about eliminating drudgery that drains energy and blocks impact. If you are too, sign up to learn what we're discovering in these exciting times.
I'll cover common issues in the for-purpose sector, tech hurdles, and systems that hold people back. Topics I'm exploring include AI, knowledge management, digital transformation, online communication, and ways to be more effective in our work.
Looking forward to exploring the future of impact work together!
