Why do we need an accordant pace in computer systems

In the past, we always know clock is used to adjust the pace of the computer systems. But we don't understand why we need an accordant pace in computer systems. Why don't we just let the components in the computer do as much and fast as they can? The reason is that the different components have dependency between each other. So if we image the whole computer systems is a succession program, of course we don't need accordant pace any more. But this will make the components in computer wait for each other's result to go on. So this can't make components work in parallel way. So obviously clock has this advantage which is that it can make different components work in parallel way become possible.
