Already in use in the sector with several operators and engineering firms, Synapse 1.0 identifies explicit and implicit roles and responsibilities within a company OMS and maps them to actual organisational roles, helping to maintain functional RACIs and manage job descriptions and responsibilities. Synapse 2.0 goes a step further, creating the foundation of the “Dynamic Organisation” where changes flow from the OMS to live job descriptions and responsibilities to ensure dynamic compliance with company requirements – a Digital Twin for the organisation.
Clairvynt has deployed the first live version of its Synapse™ AI software with a major North Sea operator, marking the first practical step towards what the company calls the Dynamic Organisation – an operating model where roles, responsibilities, and job descriptions update themselves in real time as the business changes.
For years, energy companies have been wrestling with the gap between how the organisation is drawn and how it actually operates. Org charts sit in one system, procedures and RACIs in another, and job descriptions in a third. During restructures, mergers, and cost-cutting cycles, those layers drift apart, creating confusion over who is responsible for what and where critical safety and operational duties sit.
Synapse has been built to close that gap. In its newly deployed configuration, the system maps procedure roles and responsibilities directly to the live organisation chart, connecting every requirement in the management system to real people and positions. It identifies where roles are not fully assigned, highlights gaps that emerge when teams are slimmed down or restructured, and suggests where responsibilities could be reallocated.
“It is very exciting to see our Synapse deployments in use and helping client achieve enormous steps forward in getting their RACI’s aligned to the reality of their slimmed-down organisation,” said Andrew Mackay, CEO and Founder of Clairvynt. “For the first time, clients can see the light at the end of the tunnel in restructuring outcomes, and can see a live overview of where they are in that transition. It not only advances the transition 10-fold, but also takes the pressure off when they are dealing with safety-critical operations in a changing environment, that level of clarity is non-negotiable.”
“The North Sea has been through wave after wave of flux – consolidations, divestments, mergers, new operators coming in, late-life assets, etc” explained Mark Lunney, COO and Founder. “What never catches up is the organisational roles and responsibilities being aligned to the process – opening the door to organisational risk that comes with that flux. You can move boxes on an org chart overnight, but making sure critical responsibilities have a real home in the new structure is hard, detailed work. Synapse doesn’t replace that judgement, but it gives leaders the visibility and confidence they need to make those decisions quickly and safely.”
With Synapse, transitioning from one organisation to another, whether combining, splitting, reducing or increasing, the exercise can be completed far more quickly, all with clearer insight into gaps, overlaps, and overloaded roles. Senior teams can see where responsibilities lie in real time, where they should be in future, and what needs to change to get there.
Rather than forcing operators into a one-size-fits-all model, Synapse is tailored for each organisation, with views, language and logic aligned to the way the client already works. That means change management becomes a continuous process rather than a one-off exercise that starts to decay as soon as the ink is dry – the organisational Digital Twin.
“This is really about bringing order to organisational chaos,” Mackay added. “When companies are downsizing or reshaping their portfolio, people are understandably anxious. Being able to demonstrate clearly where responsibilities sit, where they’re moving to, and why, isn’t just good governance – it’s vital for trust, safety and performance.”
“Another way of looking at it is as a Dynamic Organisation, with changes flowing automatically backwards and forwards across the OMS!” he added
“Across all of our products, the theme is the same,” continued Lunney. “We’re targeting those high-friction, document-heavy processes where small gaps can have big financial or operational consequences. Whether it’s a role that’s not properly assigned, an R&D project that’s not fully captured, or a tender response that misses a nuance, our AI is there to catch what people don’t have time to chase down manually.”
Kenny Steele, CTO of Clairvynt noted that the technology is only one part of the story. “What excites me about this first live deployment is that it shows how AI can be integrated into day-to-day operations without adding complexity,” he said. “For the end user, it’s about better insight, faster decisions and less ambiguity. The AI is working in the background so leaders, engineers and managers can focus on what they do best.”
As margins tighten and regulatory expectations rise, operators can no longer afford organisational misalignment. The launch of Synapse’s first live Dynamic Organisation Digital Twin deployment demonstrated how AI can be used as a practical mechanism to maintain clarity of accountability during restructures, safeguard safety and operational performance, and shorten the time from organisational decision to on-the-ground implementation – results showing decrease in task time from months to days.
“In the end, this is about managing change as a function of daily tasks, not as some never-ending project story,” Mackay concluded. “The companies that will thrive in the next decade are the ones that can adapt quickly and use these tools to get ahead. With Synapse and our broader AI suite, we’re giving clients in the Energy sector the tools to do exactly that.”
