The History of Kendo
Kendo is the Japanese art of self-improvement, molding mind and spirit through the art of swordsmanship, practised using bamboo swords. Its purpose was not just the cultivation of oneself, but also to contribute to culture and prosperity of all people. This philosophy was the inspiration for the creation of the Kendo as an agile performance improvement platform. Kendo is a HR SaaS product based on self-direction theory that assists people to improve their performance, and as a result, the organisations’ overall performance. Kendo was started in 2018.
In late 2019 we acquired a core HR platform to work with the our performance management system giving us an end to end market ready solution. Kendo was developed by a team with extensive experience in organisational psychology, software development, HR management and business management.
