Our Story

Our Values and Beginning
Better Tools was founded after our Co-Founder Mark Ellestad read Designing Your Life by Bill Burnett and Dave Evans. Mark realized that he'd spent most of his career 'accidently' focusing on helping improve people, businesses, and processes. Better Tools is an outgrowth of the realization that helping others improve is our true passion. Our personal values and our corporate values are in sync: Learn and Experience, Help Others, and Improve Constantly. At Better Tools we promise that your improvement is our number one goal and we don't consider an engagement successful unless you've made measurable progress towards your goals. The Better Tools team is focused on providing services that maximize your success. We help you get the most out of your career and hope you share our excitement for making things better.
