About Us

After more than 15 years of in-the-field research and real-life testing, the David Allen Company was finally launched in 1996 and David Allen soon sparked a productivity revolution with his 2001 ground-breaking book, Getting Things Done. GTD has helped countless individuals and organizations bring order to chaos. GTD has enabled people all over the globe to reach greater performance, capacity, and innovation. It alleviates the feeling of overwhelm—instilling focus, clarity, and confidence.

In 2008, David was approached by innovative educator, Mark Wallace, about bringing GTD into K-12 education. Upon visiting Mark's classroom, in 2013, David witnesses a group of 30 having fun doing a GTD Weekly Review®. Mark's students were ages 8 to 10. Inspired by how well these young people picked up on GTD methodologies Mark was teaching, and seeing them thrive, David worked with Mark Wallace and Mike Williams to co-author and launch GTD for Teens in 2018.

In 2019, Mark Wallace joined David Allen in Amsterdam to present at the GTD Summit to celebrate 35 years of the Getting Things Done methodology and begin to form the groundwork that would become GTDK-12, an education platform designed to help young people navigate the new arc of complexity so they can think clearly, implement ideas effectively, and live healthy, balanced, productive lives.
