For more than 10 years we have been dedicated to harvesting the best ideas and strongest opinions in organisations.
With our unique crowdsourcing online dialogues. To discover insights that help you move forward.

We are Synthetron

Our purpose is to enable organisations at all levels to move forward by leveraging the wisdom of the crowd

We believe in the wisdom of the crowd. That the collective opinion of a group of individuals can be surprisingly good and can help shape better decisions.

But we know it’s not easy to get to the heart of the matter. Organisational and communication barriers can stop excellent ideas or valuable insights from reaching decision makers in a timely and convincing fashion.

That’s why we exist. To help decision makers like you in complex organisations harvest the full potential of the wisdow of the crowd. By providing a platform to listen. To get frank, focused feedback. And by enabling bottom up analysis.

And that’s why we called our company Synthetron – the SYNTHesis of TRONS (things).

We are all business experts with years of experience. There to help you get what you need to move forward.

Our Journey

We started discovering answers through crowdsourcing before the term was invented – back in 2005.

Inspired by the observation that the decision making process is often missing valuable input, Paul Verhaeghe, former director of McKinsey, Baldo Faieta, mathematician from Carnegie Mellon University and Joanne Celens, ex Shell international manager created the Synthetron solution which uses the Internet to enable structured discussions with large groups.

Since then we have helped more than 250 clients regularly gain valuable insights from their stakeholders – employees, citizens or customers – and used on topics such as culture & change management, strategy development, employee satisfaction or citizen engagement.  We have engaged more than 100,000 employees, citizens, customers  in over 1000 online dialogue sessions (small and very large) in 14 languages and more than 40 countries.

We have also been working hard to learn from everything we do. We invest ongoing  to keep improving our platform with new technology to bring new features & new analysis frameworks, benchmarks and reporting methods, higher scaling and to improve the user interface.

Our Synthetron values

A passion for connecting
We know that bringing together groups of people in a safe space has a magic in it, new ideas come to life, deep insights are revealed and the way forward becomes clearer. This is what we encourage in our dialogues. This is what we put in practice with clients, partners and like-minded organisations.

Integrity
Being safe for clients and safe for participants. Independence, professionalism and quality control. So our clients can trust us to help on sensitive topics. So participants feel they can really speak up their mind.

The courage to get to the heart of the matter.
We don't just do research for its own sake or generate pointless data. We are there to give you actionable insights. By daring to ask the difficult questions and challenge you. By relentlessly seeking to reveal the truth.
