About

My name is Rob Ryan.

I’m a lifelong tech optimist and workplace strategy consultant. I have spent nearly two decades inside Fortune 500 war rooms watching “productivity” tools quietly rob people of the very focus they promise to unleash. Death by Digital Friction is my frontline report and battle-tested playbook.

 

In it, I pull apart the hidden culprits—app sprawl, notification black holes, AI Agents gone feral—and map out a clear path for CIOs, digital-workplace leaders, and every overwhelmed employee to reclaim their attention and results. If you’re ready to make your technology start work for humans again, you’re in the right place.
