Turn Document Chaos Into Clarity Without Starting From Scratch
Helping Multi-Hat Professionals Build Document Control Strategies
That Actually Work
I teach professionals juggling multiple roles how to make sure their documents are accurate, accessible, and compliant without formal training, corporate fluff, or the “perfect” system.
Because when your document control systems are simple, clear, and audit-ready… you stop firefighting and start streamlining.
The best part?
You don’t need a background in document control, fancy software, or a blank slate to get started.

Did you know?
Data Professionals lose 50% of their time each week?
30% (12 hours) searching for, governing, and preparing data
20% (8 hours) duplicating work

Work Output
“The ability to locate, understand, access, and trust data is a key enabler of business success in the era of digital transformation.”
Quoted from Alteryx’s IDC InfoBrief
You weren’t hired to dig through folders all day.
But when documents are disorganized, that’s exactly what happens.
If any of this sounds familiar, you’re in the right place:
✖️ You waste valuable time chasing files, folders, and updated document versions
✖️ You’re constantly reacting to document issues instead of staying ahead of them
✖️ You have no clear naming conventions, filing logic, or SOPs to guide your team
✖️ You're not sure which version is the right one (and neither is anyone else)
✖️ You’re worried your next audit will uncover something you missed
✖️ You're tired of re-creating documents you know already exist (somewhere…)
✖️ You don’t have time to train people - or the budget for a full-time specialist to fix it for you
✖️ You’re doing the best you can… but still feel behind and disorganized
Document Control Should Make Your Day Easier…
Not Add More To Your Plate
When done right, document control helps you work smarter (not harder). It:
Creates repeatable, reliable processes your whole team can follow
Makes sure the info you’re using is current, accurate, and audit-ready
Cuts down on confusion and silos between teams
Reduces errors and rework through clear standards and smart automation
Gives you one trusted home for critical documents (no more guesswork!)
Simplifies version control, reviews, and approvals
Keeps you compliant with industry, company, and regulatory rules, without the stress
Simple Systems. Big Savings.
Poor document control is costing more than you think. These small changes add up to major time and budget wins.

Client Testimonials

Stephen P.
Having worked with Lauren for multiple years, I witnessed her enthusiasm, energy and passion in all aspects of her job. These traits made Lauren an invaluable team member and motivated the organization to continuously improve.
Lauren brings many skills to the table, including her extensive history in document control and management capabilities, but her real strength is in her ability to identify business processes that are missing or deficient and identify and implement solutions quickly and effectively. She can bring teams together and generate the kind of collaboration required within any organization.
She has incredible interpersonal skills and generates strong trust with other personnel. These relationships, combined with her ability to utilize and deploy technology, manage and interpret data and understand business drivers, ensure that the results of her work are always fit-for-purpose and fit-for-culture solutions.

I've had the pleasure of working with Lauren for 12 months on a sophisticated midstream project. From the first meeting with Lauren, several things immediately stood out; her high intelligence, unshakable positive attitude, and immediate grasp of the system's impacts on the engineering team.
Within days, Lauren streamlined the interface between the client's EDMS and her role as the conduit for navigating it. She explained and shaped something very confusing into something easy to follow and understand. She then established several excellent systems which greatly enhanced the coherence and internal workflows.
I've been in the engineering industry for 40 years and can confidently say that Lauren is the best Document Control Manager that I have ever worked with. She is pleasant, professional, intelligent and perceptive, with unparalleled positivity and work ethic. She is truly a Subject Matter Expert.
If you have the opportunity to take Lauren's courses and instruction, I strongly encourage you to do so. You will be learning from the very best.

Lauren worked within our team as the Document Control Lead and developed and implemented Secure’s processes for managing all project, engineering, and operations documentation.
During her time at Secure, Lauren proved to be a highly effective and invaluable team member. With little in place before her, she implemented a document control system that was industry-leading in our view. Recognition of her work within our group also led to her involvement in corporate-wide initiatives that required the same level of expertise to set up and manage documents such as Management of Change, Health and Safety Management System, and Preventive Maintenance.
Lauren is extremely driven, efficient, and detailed. Her best quality, however, is that she’s an incredible person – caring, patient, sincere, with high moral standards, and a dedicated teammate that puts her all into everything she does.

I had the pleasure of working with Lauren at two companies; Pengrowth Energy and SECURE Energy. I first worked with her at Pengrowth, where she supported me directly in my role as the Chief Inspector and various other departments and programs within the organization to meet their document control needs.
Soon after I moved to SECURE, the organization identified a need for a more structured and enhanced document control strategy. It was decided to start with the Technical Services group and gradually evolve into a larger corporate role. Lauren was quickly identified as the outstanding candidate. Upon starting at SECURE, she immediately and positively impacted the organization by implementing a drawing management tool and quality control records system that received high praise from internal users and regulatory auditors.
I wholeheartedly recommend her for any endeavour she chooses to pursue.
