Sitting on your island and doing the things you need to do might have worked for some decades! In modern times it is all about cross-functionality and interaction. Unfortunately still too many companies are only looking for cost-reductions and improvements in a silo mode. Functional areas like human resources, finance, IT, sales & marketing, manufacturing, research & development are treated in a unique way without building the required antennas amongst each-other.Just a few problems with such approach:"R&D might promote products that are difficult to manufacture "Engineering specifications might be exaggerated and thus too expensive to sell"HR might be evaluating people based upon the wrong KPI"s"IT might not give the required support this is "good for the business""Manufacturing is producing at too high costsWithout any doubt, supply chain consultancy can improve the productivity of your organization.
