Arthur’s jargon buster
What does “Synergy” mean?
A useful result from people or things working together.
“The meeting was excellent. The result remains unspecified.” — Arthur
In context
A team may call a joint effort a synergy, but the word alone does not explain what improved or who benefited.
A clearer version
“The sales and support teams shared customer questions, so we fixed the help pages.”
Where it gets vague
Describe the result of working together instead of assuming the word does the explaining.
