An ongoing activity needs some sort of system/structure
to support it. When a system is in place, the human
aspect is being reduced thus streamlining processes
automatically.

competition and contest. However we can create an
environment where people work together to compete
against external performance standards.

audience.

courage.

too.

62. What is Synergy ?
Synergy means to work
together as a team to
achieve more and make
a bad situation better.

63. “Alone we can do so little; together
we can do so much.”
–Helen Keller

66. Synergy means :
The whole is greater than the sum of its parts
1 + 1 = 3

67. Two horses can pull about 9000 pounds.
How many pounds can 4 horses pull?

68. Arithmetic response is 18000.
Answer reasonable. But it’s wrong.
Four horses can actually pull over
30000 pounds.
IT’S SYNERGY THAT MAKES THE
DIFFERENCE.

69. It simply means,
"two heads are better than one”

70. Have you ever seen a
flock of geese heading
south for the winter in
a “V” formation?
Synergy is Everywhere

71. • The whole flock can fly 71%
faster
• When goose flaps it’s wings,
it creates an updraft for the
goose that follows
• As the lead goose gets tired, he
rotates to the back of the “V” &
another takes the lead
• Geese in the back honk to
encourage those in the lead
• When a goose gets out of
formation, he immediately feels
the resistance of flying alone
and gets back in formation

72. Negative Synergy

73. Negative Synergy
The whole is worse than it’s parts.
"2 + 2 = 3" effect
This means that the combination of two
efforts from two individuals have a lesser
output than they would attained if they have
worked separately.
•Smart, hardworking people gather, waste time,
and make a bad decision.

74. Result of Negative Synergy
Negative synergy refers to "2 + 2 = 3" effect.
The result of negative synergy is waste. The
meeting is a waste of time for everyone involved,
and time is money.
