How about liquidity/flexibility?

A   B

Flexibility

Esprit de corps / Team Pride

Whatever  you  throw  at  us  we’ll  handle  it  and  

probably  be  the  best  at  it  

Are  you  sure  you  really  want  US  to  do  it?     We  are  amazing  doing  X  

We  can  do  it,  but  so  can  the  other  teams.    

Corps > Team

es·prit de corps eˌsprē dəә ˈkôr/ noun a feeling of pride, fellowship, and common loyalty shared by the members of a particular group.

Pride through performance rather than specialization
