Meaning and background
The story behind Synergy
Synergy describes the extra effectiveness created when people, organisations or components work together rather than separately. The word comes through Greek elements associated with working together, so it is a modern abstract noun, not an ancient personal name. For a dog it has an unusual three-syllable rhythm, without guaranteeing any social quality.
- Meaning
- The additional benefit or power produced by different people or elements working together. Source
