From three core values to recognisable behaviour
More than 700 employees each described what a new culture means in their everyday work. The result became a culture compass.

Consult hundreds of people in one hour.
For moments when you need to hear widely what people think, and scattered responses are not enough. In an anonymous dialogue hundreds of people respond to each other and you see where they agree.
The occasion Consultation
You need to hear many people, without the conversation dissolving into scattered responses.
What you achieve
- Broad reach in one live dialogue
- Percentage in agreement per direction
- Feedback that participants recognise
A consultation quickly becomes a form, a stand-alone survey or a meeting with the people who would turn up anyway. That way you miss the conversation between viewpoints.
Synthetron brings large groups into conversation at the same time. Participants respond to each other and vote on each other's messages. That way you see which direction gets support.
The approach 3 steps
From question to a next step people stand behind
We guide every step. What we mainly ask of you is substance: two meetings beforehand and a co-moderator during the session.
- Step 1
Audience and question
We determine who needs to be heard and which question calls for broad consultation.
- Step 2
Live consultation
Hundreds of participants can respond, build on each other and weigh at the same time.
- Step 3
Feedback
The outcome goes back to the participants: what was gathered and what happens with it.

Cases In practice
How it worked out for others
Read what the dialogue delivered in each project.
Professionals and citizens, each heard separately on new policy
For the Enforcement Strategy, SZW heard enforcers and citizens on one day, each in a dialogue of their own.

A strategic shift that the whole organisation helped shape
Care organisation Westerkim shifted its focus from care to residents' wellbeing. Employees, volunteers and family helped determine the direction.

Is your question not listed? Ask it in an introductory call.
Is this representative?
We report clearly who was reached and which groups took part. Because all participants vote anonymously on each other's messages, you see per proposal how broad the support is.
When do you start with a demo dialogue?
When you want to experience the format yourself before inviting a broad group.
The other applications
Every application works with the same live dialogue.
01 / The why behind the score
Deepen your employee survey
The survey results are in, but the why is missing. One dialogue around the key scores delivers a prioritised action list.

Change
A reorganisation, merger or measure has to land. Gauge the concerns before you break the news, and again afterwards.
View: change03 / Honesty on sensitive topics

Strategy
A strategy only works when people understand it and dare to question it. Let teams and layers respond to it.
View: strategy07 / A fixed listening calendar
Continuous listening
Do not wait for signals to escalate. A fixed dialogue calendar lets leadership hear periodically what is changing.

In a demo we show you how your question works as a dialogue: what you ask, who you invite and what you'll have at the end.
