The buzzword «synergy» which was once a derogatory term for corporations, has now returned to the table as companies look for ways to collaborate across departments in remote or hybrid settings for instance. This time, it’s not used as a derogatory corporate term, but rather to describe a deeply collaborative process that is still highly desired.
Synergy is virtual data rooms based on idea that the whole is greater than the sum of its parts. The positive synergy that comes from this enables teams to accomplish more than they could by themselves, and it also creates a platform for team members to be their full self at work, bringing their unique experiences in life, perspectives, talents, and communication styles.
Negative synergy, on other hand can drag down teams and cause them to produce subpar deliverables despite each person’s individual competency. This is typically because of miscommunications or conflicts over roles, responsibilities and schedules.
To avoid this kind of situation, it’s vital for teams to build a strong foundation of trust and cooperation by clearly defining the goals of the project and laying out each team member’s role in the project. The most effective way to accomplish this is to use a collaborative role mapping process which is where each team member works with their team members to create clear documentation of who’s responsible for what and when. This eliminates confusion and helps save time, energy and tension for teams. It also makes it easier for managers to take over and coach at any time.
