Breaking Through Functional Silos

This report by Accenture explores how functional silos can make organisations slow, bureaucratic and complex. They may have been a necessary feature of companies operating at scale in the pre-digital age but now competition hinges on responding with extreme speed.

Key points include:

• Only 25 percent believe their company’s operating model has evolved quickly enough to align with their strategy.

• Up to 80 percent of all finance work can be automated. Most companies need to go further, freeing high-value, strategic knowhow trapped within functional silos.

• Successful disruptors are not encumbered with organisational silos.
