What are "Silos?" Organization Silos describe the isolation that occurs when employees or entire departments within an organization do not want to, or do not have the adequate means to share information or knowledge with each other. Siloed teams often end up working in isolation from the rest of the company. This leads to a plethora of internal and external problems for employees, executives, partners, and customers.
Having Organizational Silos can lead to duplicate work, inefficiency, bugs and generalized employee disenfranchisement at a granular level. Work are being done without regard to how the work impacts other departments. Departments start having tunnel vision, solely focused on their own functional area. In the end, there is a breakdown in communication and transparency leading to organizational dysfunction on multiple levels. This can greatly affect the company's ability to deliver excellent Customer Experience.
