This is a ckickbait title for an article that fails to communicate what it is really about.

OP seems to work in an company that give too much freedom to employees and as a result this is impossible to manage them. This has not a lot to do with collaboration.

I feel like what OP is trying to describe is "highly aligned, loosely coupled"
