Information silos

In most companies, the different areas work with their own teams, but they turn into silos and find it hard to work together with other areas. Why? 

To make your company grow, you should keep in mind that information is the most valuable resource you can have. The communication of this content has to be dynamic since it should be able to go through different areas as interrelated processes. How can we achieve this dynamic information process satisfactorily?   

On the other hand, what communicative problems can you have? Many times, companies store information within the different areas in an isolated way. This way, information is protected but they are not available for its use, so it remains as part of the unprocessed stock or as a pile of big data. In this ebook, we will talk about how this stalemate is produced and how it affects factors such as decision making, the work agents do, and the reputation of the company.
