   A stovepipe is a pipe that serves as a passage for smoke or waste gases produced by a stove, furnace, or fireplace to the outside atmosphere. It usually protrudes vertically above the appliance in order to safely direct the smoke and gases out through the roof or wall.

1. Stovepipe

   A stovepipe organisation is one where the structure of the organisation largely or entirely restricts the flow of information within the organisation to up-down through lines of control but inhibits or prevents cross organisational communication. Many traditional, large, organisations are, or risk falling into, a stovepipe pattern. Intelligence organisations may deliberately adopt a stovepipe pattern so that a breach or compromise in one area cannot easily spread to others. A famous example of this is Bletchley Park where people working in one hut would not know what the people in any other hut did. A stovepipe pattern is most likely to develop in organisations that have some or all of the following characteristics: ⁕Very hierarchical with sharply defined roles or areas of influence ⁕Long reporting lines and narrow spans of control ⁕Departmental organisation of Information Technology, Human Resources and similar functions, especially where applications and services are procured departmentally rather than via a central procurement section.
