打破藩篱的做法也正在蔓延至其他类型的机构。在英国央行(BoE),安迪·霍尔丹(Andy Haldane)等经济学家曾与罗伯特·梅(Robert May)等动物学家合作,共同研究金融稳定性问题。在布里斯托尔大学(Bristol University)和卡内基梅隆大学(Carnegie-Mellon university),研究人员们正与一些军方人员一道研究核科学与金融市场之间的相似之处。在长岛的冷泉港实验室(Cold Spring Harbor Laboratory),一群统计学家、经济学家和医学研究人员最近在进行头脑风暴,试图找出衡量与应对癌症护理的创新途径。而这些不过是我所了解的例子,其他例子无疑也是数不胜数的。
If you want to be cynical, it is possible to argue that some of this activity is mere tokenism, or just a statistical aberration. After all, for every example of “silo jumping occurring in a university, government department or company today, there are numerous counter examples, where tunnel vision and tribalism predominate, and may be growing in power. The structure of most academic careers and research grants reinforces intellectual silos, and the growing complexity of technical operations in government and corporate bureaucracies tends to give “specialists entrenched power. If employees or researchers are going to jump across boundaries, they need resources, or “slack, and that tends to vanish at times of economic pain.
