Systems approaches, heavily grounded in System Dynamics, have been at the core of Synergia’s business since it was established in 1999. The name Synergia is itself a reminder of that heritage, a commitment to ‘bringing together’ the key people, resources and ideas within any system, an approach grounded in the belief that it is only through the act of ‘bringing together’ that the challenges we face today can be effectively tackled.

Over the years systems methods and tools have been a central part of Synergia’s business and we have over 20 years experience applying a range of systems ideas, methods and tools to issues affecting health and social service organisations in New Zealand and Australia. We have also, over this period, undertaken a large number of funded research projects that have used system concepts, methods and tools at the core of the research method.

Building on this experience and expertise, and responding to the constant requests for more information and training in the systems sciences, Synergia is proud to announce the launch the Centre for System Design. The Centre will provide focused consulting and evaluation services as well as research capability, training courses and internships for graduate students interested in developing their academic and practical knowledge in System Dynamics.

Focusing on the practical application of System Dynamics in health and social service organisations, and communities, the Centre for System Design brings over two decades of experience in applying the ideas, methods and tools of System Dynamics. Areas we have worked in include: family and sexual violence, acute demand, renal care, diabetes, health impact assessments, children youth and family services, regional health strategies, chronic care, mental health, end-of-life and palliative care, and dementia.
