If Dogbert said it it's probably intentionally meaningless corpspeak.

It is buzz-phrase biz-speak, like "synergy".

Synergy has a perfectly valid meaning. Whether it is misused in any given context is a case by case matter.

Synergy has a perfectly valid meaning.

Going back to the original Greek meaning of the word as 'working together'. a 2000 plus year old word, and it's biz-speak?
