2-Hour Break Down Internal Silos Workshop
Sub-teams not talking? Foster cross-functional understanding and destroy 'information hoarding' culture.
About this session
When sub-teams operate in isolation, they inadvertently block progress by hoarding information and ignoring how their output affects other departments. This session forces participants to articulate their workflows to outsiders, identifying exactly where handoffs fail and where communication gaps exist. You leave with a shared map of interdependencies and a list of process changes to restore cross-functional flow.
Why it works
The structure shifts the focus from interpersonal friction to systemic bottlenecks by requiring teams to explain their internal logic to those outside their circle. This forced transparency exposes the logic behind information gaps, replacing defensive posturing with a collective effort to fix broken handoffs. It transforms abstract frustration into a visible, solvable diagram of team interactions.
What you’ll walk away with
