Cross-functional teams (CFTs) bring together people from different functional areas to work toward a common goal. They are important for executing strategic initiatives, developing products and services, improving resource use, and leveraging diverse perspectives. However, CFTs can face problems like lack of familiarity, unclear objectives, isolation among functions, and communication barriers due to different languages. These problems can be resolved by promoting core values, effective communication, mutual respect, team building, and inter-team brainstorming. Forming CFTs helps organizations innovate, achieve diversity, increase productivity, and better align the entire company.
