10 Ways to Knock Down Silos

“Break down the silos” is an admirable goal, but going about it is a challenge. Is it a communication problem, a culture problem, a skill to build, or simply teams having incompatible goals? Often, it’s a little of each. In this talk, we will address how to tackle communication, build a new culture, develop the right skills, and align on goals. With lots of examples and concrete takeaways, we’ll break down the silos and build something better in its place.

In this session, attendees will learn:

  • How to build collaboration across the organization
  • How to create quality content that also meets business needs
  • What skills to build to increase successful cross-functional teamwork
