This graphic depicts the various functions in a business organization.
Examine the functions and best match these to the ones in your company.
Are these functions integrated through a common vision and real time communication?
Or do they have a standalone, almost silo structure, working independently?
The challenge for every business is to make the complex, simple.
If this organization is aligned internally and externally, and each of these functions are linked together and measured in the execution of the same strategies , then we have a fluid organization.
If the functions are not aligned then we have a "siloed" structure unable to execute in a timely and cohesive manner.
