Making Cross-Functional Teams Work
This self-paced online training course introduces individuals to the essential concepts of Making Cross-Functional Teams Work.
Cross-functional teams are group of employees from different departments of an organization that are focused on a single goal.
Often formed to develop and design new products, choose and implement new technologies through the organization, and control
product costs. Managing cross-functional teams can be challenging because you have to unite individuals from different departments
and different levels of the organization around a common goal. Steering a cross-functional team through the different phases
of development requires special leadership characteristics and management techniques.
The purpose of the cross-functional team is for everyone to work to achieve a goal as efficiently as possible. Teams have diverse personalities, skills, and interests that are challenging to put together but nobody is perfect and not everyone is going to get along. This is the true key - a team would be worthless if everyone agreed on every issue. Ideas would stagnate and problems would never find a resolution, as it wouldn’t be a problem if the solution was already known! The ability to utilize this common negative aspect of any work relationship and turn it into a boon for an organization is an invaluable asset for anyone’s career!
