Our approach, simply put, is to seek the optimum route to solutions
across the challenges and opportunities of digital and data.
We bring the calibre of knowledge and sheer, hard-won experience gained by team who between them have advised across over 400 major programmes
and held senior roles in leading firms.
 

We bring rigorously proven methods and techniques gathered from leading corporates and
academic institutions to empower our clients.
Our working style is one of inclusion and collaboration - we avoid sterile analysis. We work to simplify and to reduce complexities and technical intricacies down to readily understood concepts using accessible language. This allows you to engage with more confidence and understanding,
and to thereby make better-informed decisions.

We see our approach as the deployment of skills across the following key disciplines:
 

UNDERSTANDING
Understanding the computer and data science underpinning
the ongoing digital revolution.
 

The challenge is to create an accessible dialogue for often highly technical discussions in order that decision making and plans can be formed and then executed based on real understanding. That said,  sometimes extraordinarily complex branches of computer science and technical engineering challenges
need to be grasped, and  Synergos brings this to the table.
Our team includes computer scientists, engineers and programme experts who bring the insights and language to broker highly technical dialogues between vendors, regulators and clients.
Boards and C-Level executives can be safe in the knowledge that risk and opportunity
is being managed and mastered. 
 

THE HUMAN DIMENSION
Addressing the human element of culture, behaviour and attention. 
 

A recent study of failed programmes by the Massachusetts Institute of Technology revealed that the root cause of the biggest failures arose not from the technological challenges, but from organisational culture and the behaviour of individuals. The human dimension;  the attitudes, actions - and indeed inactions - of people  is an absolutely critical factor and one that is so often overlooked.
Industrial psychology and behavioural insights are embedded in our work. We explore mindset, culture, working practices and the cognitive aspects of the challenge. Our team brings the knowledge, tools and techniques to vastly improve communication, risk management and governance – including powerful negotiation and vendor relationship management skills.
 

KNOWLEDGE
Thorough subject area knowledge combined with experience
of digital law & regulatory compliance.
 

Whilst around half our assignments address the challenges of opportunity – for example procuring programmes that generate greatly increased ROI – the balancing half addresses 'the dark side' of risk and threat. Clients commission us to support them because we bring knowledge of how and why success and failure has arisen for others and how to navigate the tricky path to the reduction and avoidance of risk
and to securing advantageous outcomes.
Our team includes legal, procurement and contract experts who have deep experience in addressing highly complex technology challenges and successful engagements for clients with the IT majors. We have worked with many leading law firms to secure exceptional outcomes for our clients and take some pride in being innovators in commercial and legal models in this field.
