We know that silos are bad for business, literally. Siloed working environments lead to business problems, unhappy employees, profit losses, and more. We can all agree to want to avoid these in 2021! We want to be better than ever this year and continue the changes and recoveries we all went through in 2020. So, the question is, how can we move from a siloed to non-siloed work structure? How can we be better for our employees, business, and clients? One simple tool that you might not know about is Holistic Project Management. Read below for three of the many benefits you get from it, including breaking down of silos:

Strategic Thinking

Why are project managers, especially holistic project managers, so impactful? “Project managers are strategic leaders that help effect change in an organization. They keep business…navigating the rough patches and adapting to changes along the way” (mashable.com). Holistic project management/managers make sure that ALL areas of your business are accounted for in strategic thinking and planning. This makes your business adaptable; and ensures that it is operating as one cohesive unit, not silos. This is huge. You need to know if there are areas of your business that are struggling, what non-value additions or duplications you have, etc. Once you identify these, only then can you successfully think and plan strategically and streamline your business to become the most impactful and efficient you can be.

Goal Alignment

At some point you have experienced this: people on different levels (CEO, management, frontline workers, etc.) are NOT seeing eye to eye. This creates tons of business problems, including poor employee retention and client satisfaction. But why does this disconnect happen? Because of a lack of goal alignment! 2020 brought a lot of these changes, and many companies like yours are still trying to align all their employees to them. Holistic project management automatically focuses on goal alignment by ensuring top-down and bottom-up understanding. This understanding and alignment creates communication, collaboration, loyalty and breaks down silos that exist in your workplace. It also makes sure that all your new efforts have a real chance to succeed, because they are backed by your entire company, not just a few individuals.

Skill Development

Skill development is immensely impactful for your business. As we talked about in a recent blog, it helps with everything from profits to employee retention. Holistic Project Management is a great tool for developing new skills in your employees because it focuses on skill transfer at every stage of a project. This means your employees learn to think different, develop and hone their expertise, and gain the tools needed to become more efficient and effective. It also ensures your entire company, and all employees think holistically, not individually. I.e., breaks down any silos you have. This is a benefit that you experience for years after your work with a holistic project management firm is complete.

Holistic Project Management is a powerful business tool, however it is one not commonly used yet. As you plan and adjust your 2021 strategy and plans, be on the cutting edge. Make the time and budget to work with a holistic project management firm. This way, you ensure a sustainable business future and growth.
