Eliminating the Negative Impact of a Silo Mentality in Screenprint Manufacturing

Screenprinting operations of the twenty-first century continue to rely on forms of organizational structure built during the twentieth century, and perhaps the most common is the cultural cluster of cubicles. The organizational idea of silos is rooted in the towering grain silos that exist worldwide. The silos protect wheat and corn from rain and snow. In the context of an organization, departments or areas of expertise are set up in silos. Indeed, in today’s cubicle culture, or silos, the separation of individuals is intentionally created by the owner or CEO.

The silo mentality produces significant harm, if not destruction, of accountability, entrepreneurship, independent thinking, and ownership.

This book will provide a deep-dive, strategic framework to dismantle these barriers, fostering a culture of open communication and collaboration to transform isolated departments into a unified, high-performing screenprint operation.
