Theory

Paperless systems require a working knowledge of a number of different elements. We’ll cover:

• The PDF File Format
• Scanners & Scanning
• OCR (Optical Character Recognition)
• File Management & Storage

We’ll also look at organisational considerations during the transition phase.

Practical

Without paper you don’t need pens, highlighters, notebooks, sticky tags, hole punchers or ring-binders. We demonstrate their digital equivalents under the following headings:

Manipulating: Splitting, breaking, extracting, rotating and combining files/pages.

Annotating: Margin notes, highlighting, underlining, bookmarking (sticky tags).

Notebooks: Creating, saving and sharing digital notebooks, and how to use them.

Delivery

In-Person: We’ll come to your premises or we can provide a coaching space

Online: We use video-conferencing software to deliver remote coaching to groups.

Follow-up & Support

Every participant in our coaching will have direct e-mail access to the Instructor for 3 weeks to answer any questions or help with any issues they may experience.

Certification & CPD

Certification in respect of Group Coaching Sessions is available on request.

Advanced Coaching

We provide in-depth online courses which are available as an add-on to group coaching.

This provides a cost-effective way to train your team in the more advanced methods and software functions that may not have been fully covered in the group coaching session.

“Extremely well structured and presented. I learned a lot from it and am feeling, for the first time, that going paperless is actually an achievable goal.”

Senior Counsel, Ireland

“I’m finding it excellent as a barrister in my first year struggling to work out what paperless might ‘look like’. A fantastic course, which I have already recommended to colleagues.”

Barrister, Australia

“A very fine suite of education pieces around digital notepads, note-taking, and how to use and annotate PDFs. Gerard is very approachable, very open, and supportive.”
