Launching Spring 2026
Helping business leaders simplify operations, improve productivity, and unlock their team’s potential.
As businesses evolve, old ways of working start to creak. Processes multiply, meetings expand, and teams spend more time coordinating than creating value.
We help leaders bring order, focus, and flow back into their operations so growth feels easier again.
What we do
We redesign how work works. Instead of adding complexity, we remove friction - simplifying systems, clarifying roles, and making performance visible.
Our mix of advisory work, structured programs, and practical tools delivers results teams can feel and measure.
Launching in Spring 2026 but delighted to have a chat now.

Why Work Better Studio
Work Better Studio was founded by Anthony Collins who has extensive experience applying Japanese Lean principles to service and office operations.
After decades running complex service organisations, Anthony brings real operational leadership rather than consultancy theory. His practical, jargon-free approach helps teams work better immediately, build capability over time, and sustain improvement without relying on external consultants.
Anthony’s work in Lean and productivity improvement has been recognised internationally, with invitations to speak at business schools and conferences, and to host Lean best-practice visits on behalf of Enterprise Ireland and the EU-Japan Centre for Industrial Cooperation.
