Synergy is a useful word in business.

The problem is not the nomenclature, it's that its use is designed to obscure not enlighten.

#6  "Enemy" JosephM? Sounds a little judgemental and unappreciative of another's point of view. I suggest a 500 credit fine and two weeks of cultural sensitivity reeducation classes.

#4  Not unlike well-laid MilPlans, Civility + other also tends to end when the first enemy shell(s) land a bit too close.

Proactively “From the Sea”; leveraging the littoral best practices for a paradigm breaking six-sigma best business case to synergize a consistent design in the global commons, rightsizing the core values supporting our mission statement via the 5-vector model through cultural diversity.
