US Air Force Air Mobility Command: Air Mobility Command has been able to develop a customized Line Operations Safety Audit (LOSA) program capable of interfacing and integrating with multiple safety management data sets leading to comprehensive system improvement in safety culture, safety reporting, and threat and error management performance.

2005: Where It All Began
This is more than a milestone—it's the beginning of a story that spans over two decades!

In 2005, Healthcare Team Training (now Synensys) was founded not just as a business, but as a response to tragedy. After losing his father to a preventable medical error, Dr. Stephen Powell made a promise: to build safer systems that protect patients, providers, and organizations from harm.
Armed with lessons from aviation and his military experience, he applied Crew Resource Management and systems thinking to healthcare—an industry in urgent need of change. That promise became our mission, and it still drives us today.

Follow along on our 20-year journey where we’ll share the moments, milestones, and breakthroughs that shaped Synensys into a global leader in safety management and quality improvement!
