The organizational structure of the company that I work for is most similar to the matrix organizational structure that was discussed in the lecture this week. I have definitely seen the silo effect in my organization, where sometimes in our projects it feels like we spend more time arguing between departments than moving the project forward. One way to help this is to have interdepartmental team building events, where you can actually connect with each other without discussing anything project related and get to know each other on a more personal level. Another way to help this is to have “lunch and learns” or some other learning seminars where different departments get together and share with each other what their department is all about and why they do certain things, so that each department has a better understanding of the work that is done by the other departments.
