Facebook opened its doors to researchers. What they found paints a complicated picture of social media and echo chambers

The project included 17 academic researchers from twelve universities who were granted deep access by Facebook to aggregated data

This is a fantastic, easy to understand example of the manifestations of what happens when departments within an organization silo themselves from one another.  

Often times the root causes we identify are:

1) Poorly communicated Mission, Vision, and Values

2) Closed or ineffective lines of communication between departments

3) Lack of self-confidence in the necessary parties within the organization

Do the results of these items negatively impact your organization?  How many customers are "receiving the wrong sandwich?" How many of your associates know about problems but are unwilling to bring them to attention for fear of rocking the boat?  And the big question, how much is it costing the organization?

Yeah, we can help with that.
