What’s Different About Our Processes
Rather than start with a particular technique and fitting the problem to the approach, The SynTECGroup starts with a framework for understanding what prevents change and what fosters change for individuals, teams, departments, and divisions within an organization.
Employing an interactive process, the SynTECGroup assists the targeted group or groups in diagnosing the problem/s in a manner that eliminates the need to blame and focuses on the “systemic” interactions and processes that sustain the problem and creates personal ownership for generating constructive sustainable solutions and directions for change. It is only at this point that SynTECGroup will custom design a process that will address the problems as perceived by the participants. We employ numerous change and mediation strategies, many of which were developed in conjunction with our clients. Our processes build in methods for sustaining the change.
