How we work.
Our approach is structured, yet we always tailor it to each client as we don‘t believe in ‘one size fits all’. Every company has its own DNA, strengths and obstacles.
In most assignments, this is how we work:
LISTEN - we engage in conversations to identify your challenges, we ask the question behind the question, to detangle where you can gain: people, culture, leadership or a blend of these aspects.
MAKE SENSE - based on conversations and possibly a survey, we present a measurable action plan with tangible outcomes.
REALISE - We put the plan into action and provide bi-weekly progress reports.
MAINTAIN - at the end of the assignment, we review the outcomes, ensure hand-over and actions to further improve and offer valuable insights.
We excel at simplifying complexities and delivering tangible results. Let's syllogize!

People.
Looking for improved performance, talent retention, a stronger presence in the job market, and higher job satisfaction? A People strategy defines the people actions needed to optimize your business performance.
It ensures that you have the right people with the right skills and capabilties to achieve your goals, avoids important positions to fall empty, and retains high-potential employees. All resulting in improved engagement and retention. Makes sense, right?
Partner with us to shape a successful people strategy tailored to your organization's needs.
We transform the talent you have into the talent you need.
Companies with a strong culture see a 4x increase in revenue growth.
Culture is what motivates and retains talent.
Culture.
Long-term success is built on a strong and positive culture. Challenges like remote work, generational gaps and societal issues highlight the need for a healthy and engaging culture. At the same time, culture seems intangable and difficult to manage.
We believe that despite its abstract nature, culture can be managed logically. We use data and tools to evaluate, improve and maintain your culture drivers. We align your culture with your purpose, values, mission, and vision, revitalize where needed and provide tools to track and measure culture changes.
At Syllogize, we have seen numerous company cultures – some inspiring, some challenging, some effective, and all unique in their own way. We understand what shapes cultures and how to keep your culture vibrant. Lets work together to make sense of your culture by transforming it into a managable business aspect.
70% of employee engagement is directly related to leadership.
Leadership is not a title, it's a behavior.
Leadership.
Leading in today's world is becoming more complex and demanding. Leaders must not only meet goals and set direction, but also foster company culture and employee well-being. The emphasis on the people side of leadership is increasing.
What characterizes effective leadership in your company? Do your leaders align with your purpose and values, blending rationality and empathy? Are they equipped to handle the cultural and interpersonal aspects of their role? We support you in optimizing your leadership performance.
At Syllogize, our extensive experience working with diverse leaders and leadership teams has given us valuable insights into key distinctive drivers. We specialize in connecting business objectives with leadership behavior, as we strongly believe that alignment between the two can lead to exceptional results. Let's make sense of your leadership!
