Likewise - I spent 6 months back in 2004 working in the US office at a large company doing data management as part of a big team. I was the only person in the entire group who tried to understand how our whole team fit together and what my inputs and outputs in the data chain did - and why they needed what they needed. Everyone else was a narrow specialist in their little bit, and the project managers were specialist project managers who knew how to gantt, but didn't understand what we all did. I'd been used to working in a smaller company where I HAD to understand everything because I was building tooling for the entire chain. Obviously I didn't know enough to do everyone else's job, but I understood what their job meant and what kind of problems they existed to solve.
