Departments rarely share updates or attend each other's meetings*

Projects stall because teams are "waiting on" another department*

There's duplicate work being done in different areas of the organization*

There's a culture of "us vs. them" between teams and/or locations

Problems are discovered late in the process -often by accident*

Success is measured differently in each department, with little overlap in goals*

Information has to be requested repeatedly instead of being readily available*

Key decisions are made without input from all affected teams*

Vendors or external partners communicate with only one department, creating blind spots*

When something goes wrong, the focus is on blame rather than fixing the process*
