Exposure to new technologies, free learnings, a growth path for employees, and good benefits.

The silo approach never left; each group deals separately with its own business, but there is no proactive collaboration of knowledge between silos.

A lack of a single point of knowledge ownership causes each silo to create its own "knowledge" for the same processes.

Though it is a multinational company, there is still an expectation that everyone will act according to US culture. In some cases, being proactive and trying to promote issues that impact your work with the relevant stakeholder is perceived as stepping out of your jurisdiction. Instead of taking it with you, it is usually escalated to your managers. Hence, many people do not try to challenge and be proactive; rather, they are just doing what they were told.

Break the silos.

Promote a CKO (Chief Knowledge Officer) who will be in charge of knowledge collaboration and distribution of all best practices and collaborative information that today is scattered in many places, including community pages, without any owner.

Remember: Knowledge is free and we should freely distribute it.

We should sell our expertise in doing things better and first time right, but we should share all our best practices with our employees, customers, and partners (and we don't do it today).
