...our ability to communicate effectively with one other is the
most crucial priority in today's global workplace.
By observing the behavior of successful individuals, teams, and
organizations, we recognize habits and behavior patterns that constitute
the SYNTAX, or structure, of success.
These are organized into five skill areas in a framework that serves
as a common language, an organizational foundation for reaching
goals and bridging differences.
The purpose of Syntax is to spread understanding
and behavioral skill in the foundations of effective communication
in efficient, easily learnable ways. To do this, we offer services
and educational products to large and small enterprises and to
facilitators, coaches, and consultants.
The sources on which Syntax is based include Neurolinguistic
Programming, Fernando Flores' work on conversations and action,
Transactional Analysis, Appreciative Inquiry, Human Performance
Technology, and over twenty years of introducing Syntax to professionals
in organizations. Many of our assumptions are explained and demonstrated
throughout this site. Feel free to browse for yourself, and come
back often to catch handy hints and good ideas.
Welcome to Syntax. We hope you find it easy to
locate answers to your questions and invite you to communicate
with us about your goals.
"In a knowledge
economy, an economy driven by intellectual and human capital in
addition to financial and physical capital, the transfer of knowledge,
and information, and know-how - the exchange of services - will
become an increasingly important driver. In such an economy, partnership
and trust and reliability and respect become important. Which
is why, in an economy where intellectual capital is currency,
corporate behavior becomes a scorecard by which you are judged
- by your customers, your employees, your shareowners."
-Carly Fiorina, CEO of Hewlett-Packard,
speaking in Minneapolis, MN September, 2001
