Synergetics draws its name from the system of holistic thinking which sustainable designer and futurist R. Buckminster Fuller introduced and began to formulate. Fuller also coined the word “spaceship earth” (https://youtu.be/OQp6AnKRA8A). Synergetics is closely related to the word “synergistic” meaning the combined power of working together that is greater than the power achieved by working separately. “In the synergic mode, a human being acts naturally so as not only to achieve his own goals, but also, wherever feasible, to promote the goals of others, with least impedance to anyone” – N. Arthur Coulter, Jr., M.D. in “Human Synergetics” (1976). Professor Coulter defined synergetics as the science of synergy. It was after Denis McCarthy met him at his home in USA that Denis registered the business name Synergetics Consultancy in 1981.
