Poor Cross-Department Collaboration
Unlock your teams’ collaborative potential
When there’s little or no collaboration across teams, costs and frustration levels go up, and time-to-market and customer relationships go down — ultimately eroding revenue, profitability, and competitive advantage. Harness the power of collaborative working and problem solving with a few simple changes.
You know you’ve got problems if…
- Information is stored in silos, with teams hoarding knowledge, making it harder to collaborate or get a full picture.
- Duplication of effort where multiple teams unwittingly work on the same tasks or projects.
- Slower problem solving and decision-making because information doesn’t flow smoothly.
Why not try…
- Helping managers to establish clear workflows and responsibilities so everyone knows who does what
- Improve the regularity and effectiveness of communication – use shared platforms and regular touchpoints to keep information flowing
- Empower teams to take shared responsibility for outcomes, helping employees know what other departments do and how they fit into the bigger picture
- Boost communication skills to make sure they can see clear, concise and effective ways to share information
- Offer techniques for team problem-solving and decision-making – enabling joint solutions and faster resolution of cross-team challenges
