About
A project, programme and portfolio management group built for the work most others avoid — complex change, and the recovery of programmes that have stalled, drifted or are failing.
Synchronous exists because the hardest programmes are where the most value is won or lost — and where the right delivery discipline makes the difference between success and costly failure.
We don't just recommend the plan. We govern it, deliver it, and own the outcome — advising at strategy level and, crucially, providing hands-on support all the way through delivery.
It's built on 18 years of delivering and recovering complex programmes, and is growing through a network of senior partners who bring deep, sector-specific expertise as we grow.
Difficult programmes are won with governance and rigour, not last-minute firefighting.
We hold the plan — and every party to it, ourselves included — to account.
We surface the real problem fast, while there's still time to act on it.
We stay on the ground through delivery, to assured completion.
However complex the programme, everyone deserves one simple, shared plan they can act on.
What we learn solving one industry's hardest problems sharpens how we deliver in the next.
We work across several sectors at once — and treat that as an advantage, not a distraction. The insight gained recovering a difficult programme in one industry compounds into sharper, faster delivery in the next.
Clients get a single, accountable partner for the management of complex change, from initial strategy through to assured completion.
Richard leads Synchronous, bringing the structure, governance and hands-on leadership that complex programmes demand — from initial strategy through to assured completion.
