How to Overcome Corporate Silos
Three Practices to Overcome Corporate Silo Mentality We have transitioned from an industrial to knowledge, innovation, and hyperconnectivity economy - with this shift has come to a change in organizational forms away from the traditional rigid hierarchies managed through command and control to more fluid and responsive network forms. Yet many business managers still apply old silo management mindsets to new ways of organizing and this legacy of the old economy limits many 'networked' organizations. Are silos a mere product of organizational design? Or is their nature tied to a deeper level: the human kind's nature? Despite the mountain of evidence pointing to the detrimental effects of these silos, they still seem to be quite common in organizations. The question is: why?

How does one eliminate bureaucracy? What would be some ideas to assist in breaking down silos in an organization where they are present?

It sets barriers to changes, decrease business effectiveness and efficiency, and decelerate the speed of the organization. What is the rational scenario to break down silos for streamlining business flow, and unlocking individual and group potential?
Reinvent Digital Organization with Necessary Breakdowns Organizations large or small across the industrial sectors are on the journey of digital transformation. It means that companies need to infuse digital into every aspect of the business. It is the paradigm shift from static to flow, silo to holistic, and mechanical to organic. In the rapidly evolving businesses and dynamic digital economic systems, making disruptive change is critical but challenging for the company’s long term surviving and thriving.
