'''Synergy''' (from the [[Greek]] syn-ergos, συνεργός [[meaning]] working together) is the term used to describe a situation where different entities cooperate advantageously for a final outcome. Simply defined, it means that the whole is greater than the sum of the [[individual]] parts. Although the whole will be greater than each individual part, this is not the concept of synergy. If used in a business application it means that teamwork will produce an overall better result than if each [[person]] was working toward the same goal [[individual]]ly. | '''Synergy''' (from the [[Greek]] syn-ergos, συνεργός [[meaning]] working together) is the term used to describe a situation where different entities cooperate advantageously for a final outcome.
