Across Silos

Silo Organization [sahy-loh   awr-guh-n uh-zey-shun].  A division of workers that reports to a functional or line manager.

By virtue of necessity, businesses are organized into functional groups.  The thing is, when a project needs to get done resources from each functional group are needed.  Without the fuss of dotted line reporting, teams must form and work together to achieve a common goal.  In theory this is all well and good... in reality it can lead to a myriad of complexities.

  • What project takes priority?
  • How does your functional manager rate your performance if you are always working with other teams?
  • How does resource allocation work?
  • Are the resources filling the right project role for their skillset? 
ResConnex can help you answer these questions.  We can do an organizational skills assessment and help you implement tools and processes to give functional and project managers the necessary visibility to projects so resources are happier, management is at the helm and the ship is sailing in the right direction.

It isn't a question of silo vs. matrix... it is a matter of visibility across the organization to the right information at the right time.  ResConnex can help you achieve that.
