Syndicom, Inc. specializes in developing innovative collaboration environments for education, research and design in the healthcare industry. A Syndicom collaboration environment is founded on a community of practice which consists of individuals who interact with each other under a set of behavioral protocols to develop, combine and share knowledge in order to achieve common goals. The behavioral protocols are also referred to as the collaboration agreements. These are collaborative protocols which all members agree to abide by when joining the community or a group. The agreement describes the expected behavior and allowed activities and enables the members to focus in order to achieve common goals. What differentiates Syndicom’s collaboration environments from others is not just our extensive understanding and knowledge about collaboration, but our proven track record on building collaboration environments for research, design, and innovation.
