MEET SYNERGY IQ
We’re doing change differently.
At SynergylQ, we're syncing strategy with human nature. Our approach infuses Systems Thinking with Sensemaking, proven ways to help untangle the moving parts, accelerate buy-in, craft lasting skills, and get better results.
Change is Complicated.
Change has become a 'business problem'
Change can be invigorating personally but a grind professionally, bogged down by overruns, confusion, and disappointed faces.
You know there's no magic fix for the complexity of organisational change. Yet, imagine it could be simpler. What if a science-backed method could transform your approach and shift mindsets about change?
Our Approach
How we roll
It's not a step-by-step guide; it's a comprehensive system.
We're big-picture folks using systems thinking to ensure every part of your organisation is working together seamlessly. We bring a solid slice of neuroscience to the table, ensuring our strategies are not just smart but also effective.
Results—that's what you're after, right?
We mix systems thinking with a dash of brain science for a combo that delivers real, concrete steps to ease the transition of change. Our methods accelerate progress and engagement, enhancing the experience and improving return on investment.
We're not here to overshadow your experts.
We're here to amplify their knowledge. We do more than just implement our methods; we equip the people who drive, enable, and receive change with the critical skills they need to make change happen. Together, we'll create effective change.
How we work
Dusty reports? Not our thing.
We ignite action with lively workshops and robust strategies that resonate. Our crew of Changineers are seasoned experts who go beyond managing change; they actively shape and drive your company’s transformative journey.
And when things get tough, it's easy to miss the forest for the trees. We come in with a clear, unbiased perspective, ready to spot the golden opportunities and dodge the hidden pitfalls.
How we can work together
Our change framework is
simple.
Create
Crafting your Change
We begin by understanding your program's goals and stakeholders to craft a clear Change Blueprint. This includes a scorecard for tracking benefits, ensuring quick and collaborative foundations for successful implementation.
Enable
Laying Foundations
We establish Change Logic to ensure everyone is aligned, followed by a Change Strategy that prepares your team to be informed, supported, and committed. This creates a shared vision for targeted change actions.
Design
Mapping the Road Ahead
With the strategy set, we develop a Change Roadmap outlining key activities. Supported by Transition Analysis, Sensemaking, and a Learning Journey, it helps your team navigate the change process smoothly.
Manage
Securing Lasting Impact
We conduct workshops to learn and adapt, using Change Ready and Change Flex services to manage activities. We ensure effective communication, training, and a seamless handover to BAU for lasting impact.
MEET SYNERGY IQ
A new approach to change.
New Methods
Traditional methods fall short
In today's fast-paced world, outdated change methods reliant on spreadsheets and PowerPoint presentations leave businesses rigid and slow. Old change methods ignore the human side of change, making employees feel undervalued and stuck. We create a systems view of change that boosts engagement and reveals critical insights, focusing on aligning teams and crafting change plans that make sense. Learn more about how we can help you enable change.
New Methods
Future-ready
Change management training on offer today often misses the mark. It tends to create a disconnect, with leaders feeling uncertain, enablers ill-equipped, and team members doubtful. The key piece lacking in these traditional methods is the development of sensemaking skills, which are essential for unifying insights across every organizational level, from leadership to frontline staff. Learn more about how we can help you build change capability.
