pure • simple • decluttered
Kanso.company is an Amsterdam based bureau whose mission is to bring clarity in business. Our name comes from kanso, referring to simplicity, purity or to the elimination of clutter. We chose the .company domain name to signal that collaborate works. Applying kanso to your business brings focus on what truly matters, raises appreciation and trust for your initiatives and frees up resources for your core values and business.
Kanso.company is a cooperative in the scale-up phase. For over 20 years we have helped organizations, people and teams to do things in new and improved ways. We believe all value comes from great minds working together in freedom. Kanso.company operates from the here and now. We askew traditional rusted traditions and views. We advocate design driven mindsets, methods and tools.
We are based in Amsterdam, the smallest cosmopolitan city in the world. For us, Amsterdam is not only an inspiring place to work and live. The Amsterdam motto “Valiant, Steadfast, Compassionate” shine through our work ethic and methods.
Kanso.company has worked for a wide variety of clients.
At Kanso.company, we prefer ‘How might we’ over ‘thou shalt’. We use design thinking as a core strategy to advance the ways organisations, teams and people build their way forward in a changing world.
Steve Jobs famously said: “Most people make the mistake of thinking design is what it looks like. People think it’s this veneer – that the designers are handed this box and told, “Make it look good!” That’s not what we think design is. It’s not just what it looks like and feels like. Design is how it works.“.

Kanso is about simplicity, purity and the elimination of clutter. We believe collaboration is a cornerstone of success in today's business ecosystems. And that's why we started Coöperatie Kanso.company (i.o.).
We live and work in a gig economy. A job for life in a large company is no longer the gold standard. Many professionals work alone or in loosely coupled networks. That makes it difficult to collaborate on new ventures, new products and new services. And it can be quite inefficient and expensive if you do not share the costs of (digital) business infrastructure.
