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.

Announcing our next big project - one designed to help teams get and stay aligned.
