Four Groups

While this isn’t a Carry On film, Oliver Marks says that

In lots of large corporations, innovation and integration are unnatural acts. Silos block cross functional cooperation and resistance stifles new ideas and concepts.

A piece in HBR then “explores how some companies are overcoming these boundaries by proposing and establishing two new types of cross-organizational teams.”

This also reminds me of Jody Hoffer Gittell and her work on relationship coordination to raise performance by integrating teams and departments.
