Meet Our Team
Pioneers in practical transformation
Meet the team who dares to do change differently. We're seasoned pros from the very businesses we serve—no career consultants here. With us, the work is serious but the vibe is always lively.
Who we are
We are passionate about people and transformation.
Our experts are drawn from the very environments we consult for, ensuring a practical, real-world understanding of your change challenges, because we've lived them. Each of us is deeply committed to change that centers on people, not just processes. With backgrounds as diverse as our skills, we share a common purpose: to guide organisations through complex change with clear, effective strategies. We are Systems Thinkers at heart—strategic, thorough, and always human-centric.
“Working with SynergyIQ has been instrumental in ensuring the success of PLATO Connect. Their ability to understand our goals, engage stakeholders, and guide us through the complexities of change made all the difference. SynergyIQ’s approach allowed us to not only launch the platform successfully but also lay the foundation for SACE to support teachers’ professional learning.”

Our Executive team recently completed the Reframe Change Program with SynergyIQ, and I couldn't recommend it highly enough. The program resonated perfectly with our team and came at just the right time, as we were preparing for a significant business transformation and go-live event. It proved to be an invaluable investment of our time, hitting the mark in every way. The SynergyIQ team brought a wealth of knowledge, relatability, and genuine care for the outcomes they delivered. Their guidance has completely transformed the way we, as a leadership team, approach change. If you're considering a change program that drives real results, this is the one to choose.
