Functional Silos as Decision Misalignment

Organizational silos are typically discussed in terms of communication breakdowns. More precisely, they represent misaligned decision structures across functions. Leasing, maintenance, operations, and asset management often operate under different assumptions about priorities, authority, and timing. Without a unifying decision framework, each function optimizes locally. This creates friction at the points where decisions intersect. The resulting inefficiencies are not the product of poor coordination, but of structurally misaligned decision logic embedded within each function.
