THANKS SYNTHETIKOS! (feedback from real clients)

"I highly recommend Synthetikos. We ran a competitive process to conduct a foresight exercise with our Executive Team to assess our current state and prepare for the future. The value of Alex’s experience and network was unmatched: he provided valuable pre-reading for our team, and used his existing toolkit to take us through a process that was both engaging and inspiring. His experience working with public agencies meant he understood some of the external factors influencing our work, and his network of global experts in the education space provided valuable perspective. As a result, we have a comprehensive and realistic path forward and a way to address key issues facing our sector. We received great value for our investment, and I look forward to working with Alex again."

"Working with Synthetikos was a wonderful experience!  They are extremely knowledgeable, professional, and well connected to the broader landscape.  Alex was great at reframing questions to allow us to expand our thinking as we looked to scale our award winning Climate Action Learning & Leadership (CALL) Program across Canada.  Working through the Theory of Change Model was also particularly valuable in helping us to more clearly define our program and scaling ambitions in preparation for the scaling workshop. Synthetikos helped us to bring together a variety of stakeholders, effectively engaging participants virtually through working groups and an online co-creation exercise to gather valuable input and establish a clear roadmap forward for expanding this valuable program to reach broader audiences."
