We believe collective action is the most untapped source of progress on societal issues. We believe in mutual collaboration and community, in joining forces and in building synergies to deliver on the challenges we face.

Investing in collaboration and collective action today means succeeding tomorrow. Maintaining a fragmented approach will continue to deliver a fragmented, inefficient or suboptimal impact.

2018 has been another important milestone in combining new skills, experiences, methodologies and tools. Neverbefore have we had such a well-balanced ecosystem for tackling complex societal issues. At the Synergist, we have developed Synapse - a mapping and collaborative suite dedicated to empowering collective platforms and their ecosystem. It is a key asset that, combined with offline collaborative best practices, blurs traditional boundaries and creates new opportunities.

We are still learning, we are still building capacity, and in 2019 we will continue this journey. However, armed with our combined experience, a growing team, and the power to develop tools together with 71 partners, we have never been so close to a scalable model that could be quickly applied to any societal issue.

We, The Synergist team and all involved partners, contributors, individuals and organizations, are working to make it happen.
