our values
Listening, thoroughness and effectiveness are the company’s pillars and guide the actions of all Kanari’s team members. Our mobilizing and empowering values are reflected in our relationships with our clients, service providers and partners. The name Kanari, inspired by Canari’s mines, represents our flexibility, thoroughness and ability to hone in on the blind angles of a project.
draw on the best
Our name, Kanari management, comes from the canary of the mines. It represents our promise: to commit ourselves by our rigor to detect blind spots in a project.
From the 19th century through the end of the 20th century canaries were used in coal mines to determine air quality. This little yellow bird, wich was sensitive to the emissions of toxic gases that are undetectable by humans, was an indispensable reference tool for miners. When the canary fainted, the miners rushed out of the mine to avoid explosin or poisening.
Just like an experienced miner, a seasoned projet manager is always wondering if his or her indicators are suitable, relevant, precise and effective.
This is why at Kanari, the first question asked is : Where is my canary ? What is the indicator that will give me an overview of the progress of my project?
