Fifa World Cup Championship Football 2014!!!

Which country will become world champion soccer 2014!? The teams with the best and most experienced individual football talents like e.g. Spain? Or the ones with lesser talent but with more team coherency like Chile or Australia? Quote coach Chile:" they might have better individual footballers, but we have a team".  

In order to become successful you definitely need people with talents and specific competencies. Still, they are other conditions to be met in order to become successful. 

It is all about the coherency between all elements in order to create synergy. Successful people and successful organizations are not "floating" on individual- but on collective- talent! On teams performing as such with a high drive for results, output and outcome!!

With the top football talents of the world the Dutch team lost, in the 2012 european championship, one game after the other and did not even qualify for the quarter finale! The best of talents!!!!!????The most experiences and successful individual players!!?? They didn't succeed as team!!! During the play there was no coherency, talents on places where they couldn't excel nor was there enough collaboration in order to succeed!

The coach was a successful trainer, but was he good coach? Were there enough management skills in order to create an environment for success? Was there enough insight to position each talent on the right spot and create a team with focus on synergy resulting in achieving the objective? Was there enough spirit to create a team performance rather than individual success?

That is the objective for every individual, every business and every organization: create an environment for success transforming each individual talent into a collective talent which makes the difference in success or failure. 

Synergies may be elusive, but they are one of the most important objectives in business. To acquire synergy will result in more efficiency, more efficacy and higher profitability. Synergy is often one of the goals of a merger or acquisition. The two firms combined may be able to achieve higher profitability than either firm could achieve on its own. Synergy can be reflected in increased revenues and/or lower expenses.

For example, a company may acquire a similar firm, allowing it to expand its product offering and, as a result, increase its sales and revenues. This could not have been accomplished had the two firms remained independent.

In management, synergies may be created between management teams, resulting in increased capacity and workflow that was not possible when the teams were working independently.

As for costs, synergies allow for the creation of economies of scale. For example, a merger can reduce multiple levels of management and duplication and spread fixed cost technologies over larger operations.
