Assembling a cross-functional team is like trying to finish a puzzle.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n

There are lots of different pieces jumbled in the same box. All the pieces you need are within reach, but assembling them in the right way is the tricky part.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n

When done well, a cross-functional team can improve efficiency, enhance collaboration<\/a>, and allow you to make the most of your resources. But how do you create your own cross-functional team?<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n

In this article, we\u2019re going to take a look at what a cross-functional team is, the pros and cons of cross-functional collaboration, and how you can build your own successful, cross-functional team. We\u2019ll also explore how using a Work OS makes the process easier to manage.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n

What is a cross-functional team?<\/h2>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\nA cross-functional team is a group of people from different areas of a business working together toward a common goal. Each team member brings their own unique perspective to the table based on their area of expertise.<\/span><\/a>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n

And what is an example of a cross-functional team?<\/h3>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n

Let\u2019s use an example to put it into context.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n

Imagine your company wants to launch a new product.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n

There\u2019ll be a lot of work involved in the launch process, including market research, reviewing resources and budgets, as well as creating and producing the product itself. As you can imagine, this would be pretty difficult for one department to do on its own.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n

So a diverse team is created:<\/p>\r\n

\"Cross<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n

By using all of these departments in the same project, businesses can capitalize on their teams\u2019 different functional expertise and deliver the best results possible.<\/p>\r\n

What are the benefits of cross-functional collaboration?<\/h2>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n

Now, let\u2019s take a look at some of the main reasons companies use cross-functional teams.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n

1. To encourage innovation<\/h3>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n

In a recent survey, 88%<\/a>\u00a0of businesses stated that innovation is more important now than ever before, due in part to the pandemic.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n

So how does cross-functional collaboration lead to increased innovation? <\/strong><\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n

With different skill sets and diverse backgrounds, each member of a cross-functional team has a unique perspective on the project at hand. As a result, team members will sometimes have to approach the project from a different perspective.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n

And that\u2019s where new ideas are created. <\/strong><\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n

Think of it like this:<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n

In a marketing meeting, everyone on the team has a similar background. They\u2019ll have a similar thought process, all geared toward how marketing activity should run based on their own experience.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n

Now, imagine throwing someone from the finance team into that meeting. Their experience brings a whole new perspective, forcing the marketing team to approach tasks from a different angle.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n

And that\u2019s where the magic happens. The creative juices start flowing, new ideas come to life, and innovation happens naturally.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n

2. To increase employee engagement<\/h3>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n

Picture this. Every day you work with the same team. Day in, and day out, you\u2019re working on similar projects, and things are feeling pretty stale.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n

Now, imagine you\u2019re asked to collaborate with another department on a new cross-functional project. Your routine is shaken up, you\u2019re working with new people, and you\u2019re creating new ideas.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n

Sounds exciting, right? We certainly think so.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n

And that\u2019s how cross-functional collaboration improves employee engagement. It\u2019s a great way to get your team fired up if motivation is lacking, allowing them to work on new projects with different teams in the company.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n

Not to mention, employee engagement is beneficial<\/a>\u00a0to the overall performance of any organization, especially if you have a remote team.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n

And with recent research showing that employee engagement is at an all-time low<\/a>, cross-functional teams are a surefire way to revive your company culture and get your team feeling motivated.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n

3. To create company-wide visibility \u00a0<\/h3>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n

For cross-functional teams to work, everyone involved in the project must have visibility of the entire project. And we mean everything, not just the work they\u2019re doing themselves.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n

But why?<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n

Providing visibility of the entire project means that everyone can see how the project is progressing and what other departments are working on. They can see when tasks are due, what team schedules look like, and how each department works.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n

By creating this company-wide visibility, team members see the bigger picture, giving them a deeper understanding of how the business fits together and how their role plays a part.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n

It also helps them develop a better understanding of how other departments work on a day-to-day basis and holds them accountable for their work.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n

So what\u2019s the best way to give team members visibility of the entire project? <\/strong><\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n

We might be biased, but you might want to think about using a work management platform. That way, your entire project is in one location, and everyone in the cross-functional team can see how each team is progressing.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n

What\u2019s the most common pitfall of a cross-functional team?<\/h2>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n

It\u2019s time to take a look at the main pitfall of cross-functional collaboration…<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n

The workplace silo. <\/strong><\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n

When different departments work on the same project, communication can break down. This is known as the silo effect<\/a>.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n

\r\n

The silo effect happens when teams don\u2019t have an effective system of communication. As a result, tasks can be overlooked, duplicated, and people struggle to understand what\u2019s happening at any given time.<\/p>\r\n<\/blockquote>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n

Not ideal.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n

But you\u2019ll be glad to hear that this can be prevented.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n

Using a Work OS like monday.com<\/a> provides cross-functional teams with the transparency they need to avoid the silo effect. Everyone has visibility over who\u2019s working on which task, how far along they are, and when tasks are due.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n

As a result, collaboration is much more efficient, communication is smoother, and siloing isn\u2019t an issue.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n

Take a look at our bridging silos template<\/a>\u00a0to see how monday.com can help overcome communication silos.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n

How do you develop cross-functional teams?<\/h2>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n

Developing your own cross-functional team is easier said than done. But there are some steps you can take to ensure that you\u2019ve assembled a team that\u2019s fit for the job.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n

Let\u2019s take a look at what these are.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n

1. Have clearly defined goals<\/h3>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n

If your cross-functional team doesn\u2019t have clearly defined goals, they\u2019ll likely find themselves straying from the path of the project.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n

To avoid this,\u00a0make sure that goals are clearly defined before <\/em>you\u00a0start to assemble your team. The sooner these are identified, the easier the project will be.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n

Once these goals are defined, your team members will use them as a guide throughout the entire project. They\u2019ll work independently but align themselves with the shared goals and milestones<\/a>\u00a0that you\u2019ve created.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n

2. Assemble the right team<\/h3>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n

Finding the right departments to form your cross-functional team is a pretty important part of the process.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n

As a starting point, think about the skills required to deliver the project. From here, you can identify which departments have the required skill set to complete the project to the best possible standard.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n

It\u2019s also worth remembering that it takes a certain type of person to work well in a cross-functional team. Ideally, you want people who have experience working in a collaborative environment, and that are confident making decisions and taking feedback on board.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n

3. Use a collaborative platform (like monday.com)<\/h3>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n

A key element to the success of cross-functional collaboration<\/a>\u00a0is the team\u2019s ability to work efficiently together.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n

Using a collaborative Work OS allows users to work collaboratively from one central location. As a result, cross-functional teams can easily work together and avoid any communication silos.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n

Take monday.com, for example. With our platform, you can easily share files, users can communicate with each other, and everyone on the team can see how the project is progressing.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n
