Cognition is proud to recommend the following companies for their excellence in consulting services for product development, stage gate, and Six Sigma processes.
SYNERGIO is dedicated to requirements engineering. Synergio’s
vision is that working with requirements is not a separate discipline but particularly a set of skills,
competencies and methodical knowledge that can be applied throughout the organization, so actually an
organizational competence. This competence is an essential element in developing high quality products.
Synergio has translated this vision into a simple and practical paradigm called “Start at the end”.
Compare it with the photo on the box of a jigsaw puzzle. The challenge is to reflect the end result as
well as possible, to put the puzzle together within the limited time available, using the photo as a
reference. Once you can clearly visualize the end result, puzzling becomes a piece of cake!

Synergio is the author of the book “Start at the end with SMART requirements”. This book is a practical
reference guide to writing SMART requirements. Synergio’s requirements engineering services include:
• Training – Requirements management and training
• Consultancy and coaching – ensure the success of the
organization
• Tools – Cognition Cockpit
The integral offering of training, coaching and tools has proven to be a successful method in improving
a company’s quality of products and processes. Synergio deploys these services in multiple vertical
markets, including financial services, manufacturing, civil engineering and software engineering.
