About Sensei Labs
What is Sensei Labs?
Sensei Labs is a Toronto-headquartered SaaS company that builds Conductor, a strategy-execution platform used by Fortune 1000 organisations to plan, prioritise, execute, and realise enterprise transformations. Verbatim from the about page: "Sensei Labs creates data-driven digital workplace solutions to solve the challenges that the world's largest companies face every day. Our technologies enable the project management, collaboration, data tracking and reporting, and knowledge management that modern organizations need to be successful."
The company is led by co-founder and CEO Jay Goldman, a New York Times best-selling author and Forbes Technology + HBR Advisory Council member. Goldman has spoken publicly about Sensei Labs' 4-day workweek and high-performance culture on the Human Side of Business podcast and other forums.
Sensei Labs operates by six cultural values it calls SENSEI (verbatim from the about page):
- Selfless — "Our steady growth creates an abundance of opportunity which we amplify by supporting each other in our career and personal development even over our individual selves."
- Empathetic — "We care deeply about our fellow Senseis as people, colleagues, and friends."
- Nimble — "We're in a constantly changing environment that requires a strong bias to action."
- Skilled — "Sensei Labs is, at its heart, a team of people. Fortunately for us they are some of the smartest, most experienced, and highly skilled people in the world."
- Entrepreneurial — "Sensei Labs will be in startup mode for the rest of its life. Each day is day one and we are all entrepreneurs focused on building our business together!"
- Integrity — "We approach all of our decisions from a strong position of integrity and the unshakeable belief that we win when our partners, customers, and fellow Senseis also win."
