The Silo Effect: The Peril of Expertise and the Promise of Breaking Down Barriers

The Silo Effect is a groundbreaking book that uncovers the hidden reasons why organizations struggle with communication and collaboration.

Award-winning journalist Gillian Tett provides a unique perspective as an anthropologist, shedding light on the "silos" that hinder our work and lead to blind spots and risks that are later obvious.

Through eight compelling case studies of institutions such as Bloomberg's City Hall, the Bank of England, Cleveland Clinic hospital, UBS bank, Facebook, Sony, BlueMountain hedge fund, and the Chicago police, Tett shows how mastering silos can lead to better integration within organizations.

This book is an enjoyable call to action for better communication and collaboration in business and government, offering a refreshingly unorthodox and convincing prescription for change.
