IN THIS ISSUE

In this issue, we explore the benefits of breaking down silos. When teams, isolated units, or organizations operate out of step or even at cross-purposes with one another, action may be required. Breaking down silos can increase effectiveness, efficiency, communication, and camaraderie. It can allow for programs and events not previously possible. The authors of articles in this issue share their experiences in working to break down silos of various kinds between individuals, teams, and institutions. What is your experience with silos in your current organization or other places you’ve worked? Email editor@dimensions.org and tell us about it.
