WASHI is being brought into these contexts because it reframes implementation as a collaborative design exercise.

Not designing the technology itself, but co-creating how the rollout will work, how it will be supported, and how teams will adjust their ways of working.

WASHI acts as our IDS thinking assistant, helping us analyze, align, and commit faster than ever.

EOS & WASHI are almost better than chocolate and peanut butter.

Are your Ai tools stuck in single player mode?

#ChatGPT and #MicrosoftCopilot are powerful - but their single user design limits impact.

This is because the toughest, highest-stakes challenges in a company aren’t solved by one person working alone.

They’re solved by teams — people with different expertise, different perspectives, and different priorities coming together to wrestle through challenges together.

“What’s the single most important idea from the field of decision science that most of us aren’t using?”

This is the question I asked Dr. Barbara Fasolo, Director of the Behavioral Lab at The London School of Economics and Political Science (LSE).

Prioritizing Ai projects? You’re not alone.

Nearly every team we work with is grappling with the same challenge:

How do we sift through dozens of Ai ideas to focus on the ones that will actually move the needle?

You just hit record numbers.
Shipped a new feature set on an impossible timeline.
Pulled off a miracle.
Now you need to do it again. At twice the scale.

Next time your team is stuck, try something different.
Stop talking about the issue.
Start looking for the MVQ - The Most Valuable Question.

Half of business decisions fail.
No better than a coin flip.
You can do better.
We'll show you how.

Sometimes keeping everyone happy is harder than making the decision itself.

This happens when a lot of people have a vested interest in what you decide.

It’s your call—but there are strong opinions about how you should make it.

What role should AI play in improving your team’s collaboration?

Even those that have rolled out meeting summarization tools and installed ChatGPT on every laptop know that there must be something more. 

Big announcement to make:

The WASHI / Slack integration is live. 

Here is why THAT’s REALLY COOL…

Next time an initiative falls short of expectations, it won’t be because you didn’t have enough meetings.

More likely, it's because of what wasn't said.

Lots of ups and downs in a startup.
But here’s one of my recent high points:

I realized our product is turning into a verb.

“We should WASHI that.”

It’s the end of the quarter. You missed the mark. What went wrong?Now imagine the opposite.
You crushed your goals. How did that happen?

A powerful way to begin any quarter is to start at the end.
What if you ran the post-mortem before the quarter even started?

Hardline ultimatums. Top-down decisions. “Do it because I’m the boss.”

Bullying as leadership is quite popular these days.

But you do something different.

You “tell” less, and listen more.

If you’ve ever left a meeting thinking…

“I don’t know what we decided.”

“I wasn’t really heard.”

“This is going to fall apart in execution…”

You’re not alone.
But it shouldn’t have to be that way.

We’ve all heard of artificial intelligence.
But what about Team Intelligence?

Trust lies at the core of team performance.
Without it, everything suffers.
Teams avoid hard conversations.
People nod along but don’t fully commit.
Accountability slips.
And instead of focusing on outcomes, individuals retreat to their corners.

WASHI is an app extension of Microsoft Teams and Slack that helps teams embed trust into their everyday work.

I'll be honest. I have no idea how to market WASHI.

But I’m figuring it out. And here’s one thing I’ve learned: WASHI isn’t about “decision-making.” And that may seem odd…

When we recently added real-time push updates to the platform, we finally got to see just how much faster using WASHI actually could be. We knew it would be cool. But it’s actually really cool. 

Our new software project is called WASHI. The name is inspired by nemawashi - a Japanese business practice of team alignment.
