After 20 years, it’s clear that it’s time to “Elevate the Way Business does Business” and heal the systems that have been strained. “We’ve created a lot of incremental change over the years – saving large buyers millions in IT costs and helping them reinvest it innovation; replacing salesmanship with data-driven decisions, and drastically reducing the cost, time, and risk of IT across the board while providing visibility into CSR / ESG across the supply chain.
However, the state of the world demands a more transformational approach. So we are launching several new initiatives, focused on social impact in society, under the brand Syzygy Impact, while also investing and advising transformational and impact-focused companies with the potential to change the world:
- Syzygy Impact – a one-stop-shop to align sourcing around impact. Every buying decision is a vote to advance your ideals or compromise them. Syzygy makes that choice easy by:
- Discovering the impact personality of your organization – is it focused on the environment, people, or governance? Internal or external constituencies? Getting back to nature or faith in technical progress
- Aligning the incentives in the organization with that impact personality to ensure that doing good is everyone’s job
- Matchmaking with the right partners who believe in the same things you do and will do the right thing without being forced
- Syzygy Advance – bringing strategic planning skills and the trust that only time can buy, to the most innovative & impact-focused startups, through:
- Audit of the core claims to ensure transparency & honesty
- Executive coaching from business basics to advanced team alignment
- Technical & product strategy – from UI, to the platform, to feature roadmap
- Marketing tune-up – from the elevator pitch to the investor deck
