The Process Chain
Every department focuses on its own domain…
and exposed to just a part of the big picture … as if it was looking through a hole

The Information Drizzle
The information flow in the company
typically resembles a drizzle…
…at a specific point of time (milestone)
…on a need to know basis

Bridging the Different Perspectives
Marketing interfaces almost every department in the company as well as
the market
They absorb a bit of each perspective and knowledge
How can it be put to good use ?

Make them feel they are part ofa task force, working together for a mutual cause
