The word executives use when 'teamwork' feels too cheap for the slide.
means The extra benefit you get when things work together that you wouldn't get from any of them working alone.
from From Greek 'synergos,' meaning 'working together' — a fusion of 'syn' (together) and 'ergon' (work, the same root that gives us 'energy' and 'organ'). It started as a real term in theology and physiology, describing how muscles or organs cooperate to produce an effect neither could manage solo. Business took the word in the 20th century and stretched it over mergers and PowerPoints until the muscle-and-organ roots were long forgotten.
