A milestone for Synthosys: our 4C Culture & Team Dynamics Model has been published in the Organization Development Journal, after rigorous peer review by leading scholars and practitioners in the field.
The 4C Model is the culmination of years of work refining a diagnostic that goes beyond KPIs and surface metrics to uncover the hidden forces shaping culture and performance. By measuring both cultural quadrants and team dynamics, the model provides leaders with a precise heatmap of misalignments — helping them act with clarity and build anti-fragile teams that thrive under pressure.
What began as frustration at seeing strong teams underperform for unseen reasons has become a validated method, now recognised in one of the most respected journals in organisational development.
Takeaway: High performance isn’t about working harder. It’s about diagnosing the invisible dynamics that hold teams back — and designing cultures resilient enough to adapt and excel.
