The Silo Effect: why putting everything in its place isn't such a bright idea

Date: Wednesday 14 October 2015
Time: 6.30-8pm
Venue: Sheikh Zayed Theatre, New Academic Building
Speaker: Gillian Tett
As global organisations become increasingly sophisticated and complex, they also become interlinked but subdivided to increase productivity. Added to this, the human element of competitiveness and protectiveness enhances the conditions for silos to take shape. Drawing on her background in anthropology, award-winning journalist and author Gillian Tett demonstrates how this silo effect can interrupt innovation and even cause disasters and sheds light on how these silos might be overcome.
