Not Much Synergy Today

I am a staunch supporter of the people, process, partner and performance concept, yet it seems as it is melting down right with the rest of the economy into the abyss. Trust and respect for people has eroded, process innovation is stalled and partners are being fed to the dogs. Does anyone wonder why our performance, aka. economy is like it is?

Some may argue that we went too far the other way, too much trust, too much innovation, and relying too heavily on partners, and perhaps we did, but synergy still has validity. The problem is that some, (those people with enough leverage to topple the country), mixed in a healthy dose of deceit, greed and manipulation, found out how ignorant many have become, and viola, the burst of a system that was not in synergy in the first place.
