Systems Thinking for Change
Introducing the New Way of Managing Change
Change management in the workplace can be difficult due to employee resistance, inadequate leadership support, poor planning, communication breakdowns, a lack of resources, and shifting priorities.
The Synergy IQ team believes that systems thinking is the best way to deal with complex change. Using systems thinking enables us to simplify complexity related to change. This makes it possible for us to achieve alignment more quickly as well as plan and execute changes more efficiently. With our integrated, easy-to-apply, and transferrable methodologies, you can expect better results, as we focus more on the management of change-related activities.

The Game Changers
Discover the Power of Game Changers: Unleash the potential of organisational change with a revolutionary approach that focuses on strengths rather than resistance.
The importance of playing to our strengths is widely recognised as a way to increase confidence, purpose, and performance at work. However, when it comes to organisational change, we often focus on managing resistance, on addressing how people might get in the way rather than how their strengths might drive progress.
Explore the Game Changers and learn how to get the most out of your change teams, improve the effectiveness of your change initiatives, and resource projects, support leaders, engage people, and gain a competitive edge.
Myths at Work
What you know about culture is stopping you from making change.
Time is an unrenewable resource, so it’s no surprise that we consistently look for easy solutions to complex problems. Unfortunately, the easy solution is usually what stops the change from occurring.
Myths at Work takes you on an enjoyable, evidence-based, exploratory journey to discover the myths at work that we believe, why we believe them, and how they are stopping us from making the changes we need to make. We will provide an alternative way of addressing your ‘culture’ that provides practical solutions to complex problems.
Stories that Work
Use stories to change your culture and create a better workplace experience.
Joseph Campbell discovered that stories across time and cultures have a common thread and that the human experience is guided, not just narrated, by its stories. We have created stories, myths and legends in workplaces that guide our work and decisions.
Stories that Work uses insights from great storytellers and narrators to provide an effective and engaging way of creating a new experience at work. As an author of four books, including the bestseller Culture Inc, Michelle combines expertise in culture change with her ability to weave a story to give your audiences a new and effective way of engaging their people and customers. Create workplace stories that inspire change.
Understand the hero’s journey and how stories guide our experiences.
Magnetize your Workplace
Stop the workforce churn and have your ideal workforce lining up
Leaders across the country are struggling to find a solution to their "leaky bucket" - high workforce churn. Recruitment firms thrive on companies constantly filling gaps in their workforce, but if your workplace lacks a positive experience, employees won't stay, perpetuating the leak.
How much time, energy, money, and effort are you wasting trying to fill a leaky bucket? Magnetize Your Workplace provides invaluable insights into how workplace culture and experience directly affect retention. It equips your audience with the necessary tools to retain exceptional talent and attract new candidates. Say goodbye to workforce churn and welcome a steady stream of qualified individuals to your doorstep. Key takeaways include understanding the impact of culture and work experience on retention, practical tips for creating a retention-focused workplace and eliminating recruitment overwhelm by having a lineup of candidates eager to join your organization.
Workshops
For those seeking a more comprehensive experience, we provide a deeper dive into business transformation, allowing you to explore various aspects more substantially.
Bespoke Facilitation Workshops
Seeking an impartial facilitator for project/change planning, consultation sessions, brainstorming, ideation sessions, executive planning, and company/culture visioning? Look no further.
We specialize in collaborating with teams to define objectives, purpose, and actionable interventions that serve as the foundation for various plans such as project plans, change plans, strategic plans, business plans, culture plans, customer experience plans, and continuous improvement plans.
Our accomplished facilitators, who are also proficient coaches, possess the expertise to ask thought-provoking questions and establish an environment that nurtures the emergence of the answers you seek. They adeptly facilitate group discussions, provide valuable structures and frameworks, extract information from individuals, skillfully handle conflict, the halo effect, and groupthink, and meticulously document session outcomes using either traditional mediums like butcher's paper and whiteboard or technology-based tools, depending on your preference.
Engaging our services guarantees access to a skilled, experienced, and expert facilitator equipped with a diverse toolkit spanning culture, customer-centricity, analysis, and design. You can have full confidence in achieving tangible outcomes, supported by our structured approach to reflection, idea generation, debriefing, and brainstorming.
Discovering Purpose
Unlock the full potential of your team.
We believe that people thrive when they have a clear sense of purpose and unwavering commitment. In this engaging team workshop, we provide a platform for your team members to design or review their purpose, align their personal and professional aspirations with the team and organization, and gain clarity on their collective why.
Through expert facilitation, thought-provoking discussions, and information extraction, we help you articulate a powerful team purpose that resonates with everyone. The outcomes are profound—a team that is crystal clear on their purpose and their place within it, individuals who feel deeply engaged and in control of their destiny, and a draft "why/purpose" statement that inspires and guides your team's actions. Furthermore, when combined with our Effective Teams program, you'll foster a shared understanding of core commitments and norms, fostering collaboration and synergy. Join us on this transformative journey and unleash the true potential of your team.
Let’s NOT talk about workplace culture
Instead, let's focus on things we can control.
Despite endless discussions on the topic, many leadership teams still feel helpless when it comes to addressing culture issues. Perhaps it's because we've been trying to control the uncontrollable. At this workshop, you'll gain invaluable insights into our Workforce Operating Environment model.
Discover the key elements that influence workplace culture and learn how to directly assess and control the factors that shape your organization's culture. This workshop aims to make culture change accessible to everyone, regardless of their HR expertise, by providing fresh perspectives and a shared language to frame culture conversations within your own teams.
Ideal Team Culture
Does your team know their purpose and is working on improving your ‘culture’ and team effectiveness? This workshop is a foundation element for all culture and change activities.
If you don’t know where you are headed, it’s unlikely you will ever get there. Many ‘culture programs’ are designed without a clear vision of what ‘done’ looks like. It will be a ‘shot in the dark’ if you don’t have a clear vision of the future.
Using a structured framework, we help teams to design the experience of work that they want and help them to understand the action they need to take to get there.
