Our Approach

Synergos believes that collaborations involving business, government, civil society and communities are essential to overcome the most complex economic and social deficits we face, and to do so in a way that achieves lasting change. This includes tapping into the wisdom and amplifying the voices of those who are poor and marginalized.

In working with leaders, leadership networks, institutions and partnerships we do not impose a particular set of fixed ideas about how best to solve problems. Our role is rather to help those we work with to generate, test and implement innovative and lasting changes.

We do the following:

  • Connect people to their core values and engage in change processes in ways that inspire trust and make meaningful collaboration possible
  • Provide learning about “bridging leadership,” the capacity to make it possible for people to come together across divides and work as partners
  • Create and support inclusive collaborations that involve and respect the contributions of all key stakeholders, identify root causes and develop innovations that solve complex problems
  • Focus attention on systems thinking, seeking significant, systemic changes and supporting the leadership, coordinating mechanisms and institutional arrangements needed for the change to be sustained over time.
