SILOSOLATION

The Pattern

Cross-functional coordination has broken down to a degree that each unit is optimizing independently and sub-optimizing collectively. Information stops at department walls, accountability diffuses at handoffs, and the people working at the seams between those units absorb the cost of that breakdown every day.

Advisor // So What
