Our Philosophy
Built on timeless principles of quality, innovation, and the human element in business.
Continuous Improvement
Quality was solved years ago. It's not a goal. It's a process. A frame of mind. A set of values. Some days, it seems as though it's gone out of style. But not at Tenzo Labs. Our approach to quality is deeply rooted in the teachings of Dr. W. Edwards Deming.
(Only a true systems geek committed to quality would brag about a signed copy of Out of the Crisis. Tim proudly counts himself among them—lucky enough to have heard Dr. Deming speak in D.C. in the early '90s, and wise enough to hang onto that book.)
Core Principles
Under Promise, Over Deliver
We believe in setting realistic expectations and then exceeding them. This builds trust and long-term relationships with our clients. We keep track of even the smallest promises and details.
Hire for Character
As the famous grocery retailer, Stew Leonard wisely noted, "We can teach cash register. We can't teach nice." We prioritize character and cultural fit in every decision.
Everything is a System
Tired of putting out fires? Solving problems is not enough. You have to improve the system that produced the problem by identifying the root cause. We're here to help. We're not just a development shop. We're a partner. We're here to help you succeed.
People First
Technology should serve people, not the other way around. We design solutions that enhance human capabilities and job satisfaction.
Business Philosophy
Our business philosophy was forged in the transformative era of Total Quality Management, drawing inspiration from thought leaders such as Peter Drucker and Tom Peters.
We believe that business success is about more than profit—it's about building lasting value through quality, innovation, and most importantly, people. Every technology solution we deliver is guided by this holistic approach.
By combining timeless business principles with modern technology, we help our clients achieve sustainable growth and operational excellence.
