to break out of silos

I've just received an email from my company: my New Year’s resolution is to challenge everyone to break out of silos. This expression has 3240 attestations but no definition, what does it mean please? JackPotte 08:44, 8 January 2010 (UTC)Reply

to silo off

I often hear people say that something is "siloed off from" something else, meaning that is is isolated (or, in software, sandboxed) and allowed to work without affecting something else. Should this useage be reflected, here? Supuhstar (talk) 21:03, 2 May 2016 (UTC)Reply

I think it's a phrasal verb rather than a separate preposition "off", so it should be at silo off. Equinox 12:07, 3 May 2016 (UTC)Reply
