British spelling: organized into or characterized by separate departments or divisions.

Etymology

Past participle of departmentalise (British spelling). Describes something that has been divided into departments.

Kelly Says

A departmentalised organization looks efficient on paper—until information needs to cross departmental lines, creating the 'silo effect' that makes big institutions frustratingly unable to see the whole picture.
