Current Programmes
Spark Plug: social innovation workshops
Syinc's very own training programme on Social Innovation and Design Thinking. Spark Plug is about creative problem-solving: it works by building capacity of people to find new ways for old problems - in this case, social and human problems. We use a human-centred approach, and develop that same ability in our participants, so that they generate solutions with the end user (or beneficiary) in mind. Catered to educational institutions and the young people they develop, our workshops take people through from concept, to hands-on application, to execution on actual projects (or as far as you wish to take them). We also have, on occasion, created programmes for corporates with whom we have aligned interests.
Special sauce: We switch something in people's heads on.
Just give us a ping and we will work something out according to what you need.
think&drink: spirited conversations
Think & Drink is a semi-regular informal conversation series where we bring interesting people together to talk about insightful, unconventional, and serendipitous things about changing the world.
By mixing great speakers and super-diverse participants in a uniquely laid-back Friday-night-out setting, Think & Drink connects people through engaging and spirited (pun intended) conversations. It is a fun, interesting and casual melting pot of people from all walks of life gathering to get to know more about our speakers, events and like-minded people in the social realm.
Interested in attending, or have speaker suggestions? Say hello to Shree!
Syinconsult: social design consulting
We practice what we preach - and we're using the same innovation methods we teach @ Spark Plug and applying them to solve problems for clients. Our clients are typically companies in the social impact space, nonprofits, or socially responsible businesses. We have a core team of practitioners with competencies in human-centred design, business innovation and modelling, education planning, new media strategy, business process and change management.
If you are a educational institution looking to create/revamp your student development strategy or a social enterprise looking to reinvent your offerings and business model, we can help!

Syinconnect: a social innovation conference
Young and searching for answers? Wanna change the world, but don't know how? Here is a conference that gathers a special breed of passionate, socially-conscious youth hungry to create social change, but don’t necessarily have the know-how, connections or opportunity to do so.
Syinconnect provides them with a space to test/bounce ideas, collaborate, build like-minded networks - and most of all, get their hands dirty and get something started.
