A sales team that has never once spoken to anyone in product development. A finance department nobody outside finance could pick out of a lineup. A support crew that feels practically invisible until something breaks and suddenly everyone needs them urgently. Outdoor team building activities for cross department connections exist for exactly this reason, because these gaps rarely close by themselves, no matter how many company wide emails go out or how many shared software platforms get rolled out with good intentions. Departments drift into their own little bubbles unless something actively pulls people out of their usual seats and puts them shoulder to shoulder, working toward something that has absolutely nothing to do with quarterly numbers.
