Collaboration

Breaking down the silo walls
between teams and departments

 

 

  • To what extent is there an island or silo mentality in your organization?
  • Does the way departments work together lead to demotivation, stress or frustration?
  • Does lack of alignment between essential departments cause customer dissatisfaction?

 

Many organizations then come to the uneasy realization that collaboration between teams, departments or divisions, is a disruptor.

However, the effects of the Silo mentality are often misjudged or minimized. Only when the pain threshold is palpable and persistent does unanimity emerge that "something must be done" after all.

The Silo method with measurement tool is used in a structural and thorough approach to sustainably improve cooperation between critical departments.

 

Silo Trail Overview:

  • Step 1: Selection of critical departments.
  • Step 2: Measurement tool with online survey for all employees of the three selected departments
  • Step 3: Survey results & action plan during two-day workshop with management and delegation from 3 departments
  • Step 4: Feedback of results and action plans during feedback sessions in the three departments and their employees
  • Step 5: Follow-up & embedding action items

  • Patrick O, CEO Viessmann

    As a company, we have great challenges and not only do we need to enter new markets, but our employees need to work as full entrepeneurs. Starting from our values, vision and mission, together with Zenit we have anchored a new momentum in our organization. They understand our challenges, are a loyal ally and we are happy with the results. If you want to achieve Olympic performance, however, you have to train hard. This is self-evident.

  • Mieke Verstraeten, Operations Director, Induver

    In a merger, the integration of the two corporate cultures is very important. Zenit has helped us masterfully with this in a way that has gained the trust of our employees and resulted in powerful and result-oriented action points for the management. In addition, we went through the "Get Results Together" process with the management committee. This focused on open dialogue with employees, trust and commitment. This was not an informal approach and it shook up our organization. However, it delivered the desired results and set in motion concrete changes and improvements.

  • Our collaboration has led to an energizing dynamic in our organization

    "When I chose to implement a radical and structural change in our company, Zenit turned out to be a perfect partner to professionally map out that path together and actually implement it and follow it up consistently. An important achievement of the various projects is the creation of a close-knit team of committed employees, who put their shoulders to the wheel every day to support our ambitious growth plans. Dealing more consciously and differently with the changing environment has also led to an energizing dynamic in our organization."

  • No non-committal approach with desired results

    "In a merger, the integration of the two corporate cultures is very important. The Zenit Team helped us masterfully with this and in a way that gained the trust of our employees and resulted in powerful and result-oriented action points for the management. This was not an optional approach and it shook up our organization. However, it produced the desired results and set in motion concrete changes and improvements."

Not only turnover and profit margin, but also customer and employee satisfaction have improved remarkably in recent years.
