Overview
Removing the Barriers and Building Bridges to Create the Communication Flow.
A communication silo is often used to describe internal breakdowns or blockages of the information flow within an organisation. It describes the restrictive open communication flow between departments, teams, management and stakeholders. A silo is always vertical, making it difficult or impossible for the horizontal flow of information.
When departments or groups within an organisation choose not to share information or allow for knowledge to be exchanged through information systems, this can create resentment and unhealthy competitive behaviours that become destructive. When silos become the default cultural dynamic in a business, it will result in an environment that discourages open communication and collaboration between groups. Fixing the communication silos requires a careful diagnosis of the driving issues and then applying the correct strategy to ensure the barriers are broken down.
Breaking Down the Silo Effect is a workshop designed to bring practical strategies and solutions to help establish a high-performing and open communication culture. The program is designed to provide the stages and steps silos take and strategies to remove them successfully. This session applies to departments, teams, or individuals looking to dismantle organisational silos.
