Departments don't work together effectively - they chase their own goals and their own objectives at the cost of the overall organisation’s success. Silos are one of the most common complaints we hear from a company. In this episode we talk about how they form and what you can do about them. Corrine shares how Yarra Valley Water brought teams together, Dominic recalls how he moved between two siloed teams and realised how they both blamed each other for everything that went wrong.
