Am I organized correctly?

Is your organization 'siloed'? Do parts of your company act like they belong to a different company? Is it difficult to coordinate projects across divisions or functions? Is 'cooperation' an alien term?

“In The Ultimate Advantage (1992) Ed Lawler argues that the best source of sustainable competitive advantage is the organization’s design. The difficulty of aligning structures and systems with each other and in support of the organization’s goals represents a sustainable advantage. The advantage is sustainable because it cannot be easily imitated. We conclude that the only truly sustainable competitive advantage is the capability to make the transition from one set of strategies, structures, and processes that exploit an old advantage to the capability to design and implement strategic change.” (Worley, Hitchin, & Ross, 1996)"
