The buzzword “synergy” is at one time a derogatory term applied to corporate entities, is now back to the table as companies look for ways to collaborate across departments – in remote or hybrid environments for example. This time it’s not used as a derogatory corporate term but instead to describe the process of collaboration that is still highly desired.

Synergy is the concept that a whole is greater than the sum of its parts. The positive synergy that results from this enables teams to achieve more than they could by themselves, and it also offers a platform for team members to be their best self at work, bringing their unique experiences in life and perspectives, as well as their talents and styles of communication.

On the other the other hand, negative synergy could make teams feel sluggish and lead to subpar deliverables despite each person’s personal strengths. This is usually because of miscommunications or conflicts over roles, responsibilities and schedules.

To avoid this kind of situation, it’s vital for teams to build the foundation of trust and cooperation by clearly defining their project’s vision and laying out the roles of each team member in this. The simplest way to accomplish this is to implement a collaborative role mapping process which is where every team member collaborates together with their peers to establish clear records of who’s accountable for what and when. This eliminates confusion and helps save time, energy, and conflict for teams. It makes it easier for managers, when needed for them to be able to step in and coach.
