Functional silo problem is happen when the company that want to create a team and brings members from different function unit/department to work together,with a positive combination of functional expertise and integrative team thinking.We can see Silo’s when department information and knowledge are sealed off from other
departments,workers do not talk to people outside their department,The department does not offer to help or share resources with other parts of the organization and the department only focuses on achieving their work goals even at the detriment of other work units and the organization as a whole.The effect of this problem is ‘Self-Inflicted’ an example of what happens when departments fail to coordinate and support organizational goals. Engineers design new products that the marketing group cannot sell and the manufacturing group cannot build. Another typical damaging silo behavior occurs when one business unit of an organization has discovered new work processes that would help the other business units.
