Fragmentation is one of the most common patterns inside growing companies. Infrastructure is managed by one supplier, software by another, data by a separate team and communication by yet another operation.
The result is a business that reacts slowly, spends more and loses visibility over its own priorities. Leaders often feel busy, but the operating system of the company is still broken into pieces.
Reducing fragmentation means creating a shared architecture for decisions, workflows and accountability. That is where ecosystem thinking becomes practical.
