SYNTHESIS GROUP

Change that Lasts

We’ll do more than show you what’s possible. We make sure the output and intent from your change program actually sticks.

At Synthesis, we help organisations embed change into the way teams lead, operate, engage, and deliver value — so it becomes durable, practical and embedded in your business.

Most change programs launch well –
then run out of momentum post-execution.

88% of business transformations fail to achieve their original ambitions.

Only 26% of change programs create value in the short and long term.

Program success frequently depends on a small number of leaders to drive it forward.

Teams only participate. They are not co-architects, and they are not invested.

New thinking and ways of working are not adequately operationalised.

DEEP CHANGE

Change that endures long after a program ends.

The greatest challenge with any change program is to make the impact durable once the initial focus, energy, or sponsorship moves on.

That is the precise focus of Deep Change.

Successfully incorporating new ways of working into how people operate day to day.

How leaders lead. How teams engage.

How decisions get made. How value gets created.

The result is change that becomes part of the fabric of how an organisation operates.

Synthesis helps organisations apply Deep Change across the following areas.

AI-Enabled Capability

More than AI adoption and technical skills, build the critical thinking and human exchange abilities your team needs to amplify the output from AI. With a focus on improving problem solving, judgement, communication, and influencing skills.

Business Partnering (as a Way of Working)

Creating practical business partnering behaviours that generate higher value for stakeholders. Particularly relevant for corporate and enabling functions transforming into trustworthy strategic partners.

Executive Leadership Advisory

A confidential space for senior leaders to stop, think, discuss and plan.

  • Define your end state. Map the path. Identify your future roles.
  • Work through the stress, pressure and complexity of leadership.
  • Address blind spots, decode how you work and cultivate your long-term impact.
  • Create greater harmony between career success and life outside work.

Leadership Teams

Helping leadership teams build more unified, effective and durable ways of operating. Build the effectiveness of a lead team and transform your organisation.

Redefine Team Value

Your stakeholders don’t have your experience – yet hold a strong opinion on what your team can do. Recast your teams value by developing the collective ‘brand’ and enjoy earlier and more frequent engagement, where your advice is sought and applied.

Culture

Redefine the very essence, interactions, attitudes and ways of working that collectively create your organisational culture.

Sponsored by leadership. Outworked by managers. Owned by the team.

Our Clients

Words from people who’ve lived it.

As a lead team, we are now more united on our path forward than ever before.

Synthesis has played a key role in helping shift how we think about enabling service teams at Auckland Transport. The business partnering system introduced, demonstrates how our team can lift organisational performance when aligned around shared outcomes, consistent ways of working and explicit value propositions – moving as one rather than operating in silos.
