. Communication between departments is severely broken, making the organization feel fragmented and disconnected. . Simple questions often require being passed between multiple people over several days before getting a clear answer. . There is no shared visibility across teams, leading to repeated duplication of work. . Departments frequently work on overlapping tasks without awareness of each other's effort. . Critical information is often isolated with single individuals and not accessible to others who need it. .
