About us
Genchi has three founding principles:
simplicity, velocity and transparency.
Simplicity
Our lives, working lives in particular, have gotten ever more complex. Some complexity is unavoidable, however we should strive to limit this where possible.
Genchi strives to reduce the complexity associated with managing projects, not add to it as so many other existing tools do.
Velocity
The world has changed. We hear news from the other side of the world as it happens. We comment on photos friends have just posted from other countries and we can message to anyone at work, instantaneously.
We should not have to wait for a weekly report, or disrupt our teams workflow to find out how our teams are doing. Project status should always be current and available.
Transparency
A lot of friction can be avoided if we could just get the right information to the right people at the right time. However, despite the adoption of more flexible tools and work processes information is still trapped in dispirate systems and silos.
It is in everyone's interest that anyone involved with, or dependent on, a project outcome is aware of how that project is doing and is able to plan accordingly.
We believe that by building tools that embody these principles we will achieve our mission of helping all teams achieve better outcomes.
