Series - How to Make Cross-Functional Teams Work

Overview

See Courses

Many organizations today consider cross-functional teams to be an integral strategy for success. Three benefits most often cited by these organizations are:
  • Increased job satisfaction. It stands to reason that employees who pull together as a team have more pride – and more of a stake – in their individual performances.
  • A sense of closure. Everyone enjoys getting things done and moving on to something new. Cross-functional teams let you start projects fresh, without the baggage of unfinished business or loose ends to distract them.
  • Better cooperation among people and between departments.

Cross-functional team members learn a new awareness of how people and functions are intertwined in an organization. That awareness tends to breed more productivity and genuine camaraderie.

Target Audience: Team leaders, project managers, supervisors and managers
