Dive into The "Silo" Syndrome, a groundbreaking exploration of how rigid divisions impact not only businesses but also society as a whole.

Unveiling the Silo Effect

For decades, the business world has grappled with the "silo effect," where organizational complexity, specialized departments, and narrow employee roles lead to a blurred overall strategy and a forgotten core purpose. This problem, first identified as a divergence of organizational goals by sociologists like H. Simon and F. Selznick, is now examined through a broader lens.
