Corporate phrase: “Silo Guardian”

Explanation:

Someone who works in a massively provincial or localised way, resisting any form of globalisation or integration with other systems, such people have often been burnt by previously failed global projects or are just protecting a job, not necessarily evil and often quite talented, just resistant to any change. Sometimes called a “Smaug” Disclaimer: As always these posts are not aimed at anyone client or employer and are just my personal observations over a lifetime of dealing with both management and frontline associates.
