Synergy, is the interaction or cooperation of two or more

organisations, substances, or other agents to produce a combined

effect greater than the sum of their separate parts.
In the natural world, Synergistic phenomena are ubiquitous, ranging
from physics (for example, the different combinations of quarks that
produce protons and neutrons) to chemistry (existence of all
compounds) to the cooperative interactions among the genes in
genomes, to socially organised groups, from honeybee colonies to
wolfpacks to humans. According to the Synergism Hypothesis,
synergistic effects have been the drivers of cooperative relationships
of all kinds and at all levels in living organisms.
Human Synergy relates to human interaction and team work. For
example, say a person A alone is too short to reach an apple on a
tree and person B is short as well. Once person B sits on the
shoulders of person A, they are tall enough to reach the apple. A
song is a good example of human synergy, taking more than one
musical part and putting them together to create a song that has
much more dramatic effect than each of the parts when played
individually.
If used in a business application, Synergy means that team work will
produce an overall better result than if each person within the same
group were working towards the same goal individually. And hence
the group should outperform even its best individual member.
