In Brief

A state where team members have different understandings of an organization's identity.

Identity fragmentation syndrome occurs when a company's different departments (e.g. marketing, sales, operations) develop competing narratives about the organization's identity and purpose. This internal confusion inevitably reaches customers, creating disjointed brand experiences.
