This post could as well be put in the systems collaboration forum as there are reasons to the how and why of silos and the systems that feed them and frustratingly perpetuates them.
I find it resonates for me with my own academic discipline of social work, which some may find surprising for a profession focused on "the person and their environment." Understanding a bit better the realities of "the other," ---the silo across from my own silo; actually puts some substance onto our words of "transformation."
