I am convinced that NO leader sets out to create a siloed organization; however, organizational silos are highly present, naturally occurring, and self-perpetuating.

I recently wrote an article for Forbes, which outlines key factors that collaborative teams should consider when they seek to innovate and drive customer value. Leveraging Airbnb as an example, I highlight convenience, personalization, and personal care as prime targets.

What efforts have you taken to breakdown silos in your organization? What's your approach to creating collaborative innovation directed toward customer convenience, personalization, and personal care?
