A Message from David Byrum, Managing Director, Human Synergistics Australia
As 2024 comes to a close, the team at Human Synergistics Australia would like to thank our network of Clients and Accredited Practitioners for yet another year of partnership and support. Collectively, through our mission, we continue to make a notable impact on the well-being, self-awareness and effectiveness of individuals, teams, and organisations. This has been a remarkable year for us all, and I am infinitely proud of our continued commitment to Changing the world – one Organisation at a Time™.
With the end of the year, we have the opportunity to reflect at all that we have achieved together.
We were thrilled to see many of you at our 26th Annual Culture and Leadership Conference in Sydney and Melbourne. We were delighted at the audience turnout, and with a “sell-out” for Sydney – we have learnt that your ongoing appetite for insights and stories of successful culture reform and sustainability are unwavering. This year’s conference offered us key take-outs from our impressive lineup of keynote speakers from Inghams, ARN Media, McCain Foods as well as panellists across a spectrum of industries. From these presentations we learnt that culture is leader led, that strategy can only be realised if it is bolstered by a steady and robust culture with a leadership team working together. Data showed us that performance and adaptability in an ever-changing environment is underpinned by fortified culture and leadership. Finally, that as leaders we all have the ability to impact performance and behaviour, so we constantly need to ask ourselves, how are we showing up for our team and colleagues? Please keep in mind the dates for next year’s conference which are 27th August 2025 in Sydney, and 4th September 2025 in Melbourne.
Earlier in the year we also launched LSI +, Life Styles Inventory™ with ACUMEN® Insights. It was a long time in the planning, but LSI + was introduced to support our accredited network and participants. LSI + is an addition to the LSI that now includes a narrative around the profile of your thinking (LSI 1) and feedback from others (LSI 2). The additional aspects of LSI+ assists participants to build insights and subsequently actions to enhance satisfaction and effectiveness. Paired with a comprehensive debrief from an Accredited Practitioner, the LSI + promises a rich developmental journey through the Life Styles Inventory™. If you’d like to know more, we encourage you to be in contact with our Client Service Team.
We have more exciting projects earmarked for Life Styles Inventory™ including digitalisation to enhance the accredited practitioner and participant experience. The planned changes create numerous exciting possibilities that can truly enhance both personal and professional development.
Lastly, being part of our accredited network means we are committed to continuously develop and support you through your journey with us. Please check in regularly to our Professional Development calendar for events, workshops, showcases and opportunities throughout next year.
As we move into 2025, particularly considering the local and global conditions we remain positive and hopeful for the year ahead. I am sure all of us will continue to be our individual best and achieve our aspirational goals through both constructive thinking and behaviour. Our continued thoughts are with all of those in need across the globe, we are always hopeful for a better way forward and a better world for everyone.
Our Sydney and Melbourne offices will close down for the festive season on Monday 23rd December and re-open on Thursday 2nd January, 2025. I want to extend my sincere wishes to you and your loved ones for a safe, restful and enjoyable break. Our hope is that 2025 will bring prosperity, stability and growth for you all.
Wishing you all the best during this festive season,
DB and the team at Human Synergistics Australia
