Tired of ’Silo Mentality?’ A business is an interconnected system within itself and also with the outside world. Sometimes decisions are made without considering their impact on those systems and the people within them. Because of this a good local decision can adversely affect the flow and profitability of the overall business. When we align people and measures and use systemic thinking we empower people with the ability to make great decisions that also contribute positively to the bottom line.
