The team involved have conflicting goals:<\/b><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">This is one of the major constraints to cross-functional collaboration and can be a source of tremendous challenge or conflict. While you and your team believe that a particular project may generate tremendous revenue, increase customer base, fix a technical glitch, or in any way positively impact the organization, another team may be less enthused. <\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">This put you and the other team at loggerhead as you lack an alignment of goals. Or worse, you both don&#8217;t know the ultimate goal of the team or company. When there is a lack of clarity of purpose, it becomes easy to hit brick walls when you try to collaborate.<\/span><\/p>\n<h4><b>Solution<\/b><\/h4>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The solution to such lock jam is to encourage the top Management or senior leaders to share the company&#8217;s goals publicly with everyone. This way, everyone within the organization knows what the company goals are. Orgzit is one of <a href=\"https:\/\/orgzit.com\/blog\/collaboration-technologies-for-productive-teams-in-2018\/\">the most effective tools for cross-functional collaboration<\/a>. It can be used to list the company&#8217;s goals and objectives. This can then be shared with everyone in the entire company so they can have a better understanding of the bigger picture.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter size-large wp-image-1691\" src=\"https:\/\/blog.orgzit.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/01\/webapp-orgzit-tasks-kanban-1024x576.png\" alt=\"Effective-way-of-collaboration-Orgzit\" width=\"1024\" height=\"576\" srcset=\"https:\/\/orgzit.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/01\/webapp-orgzit-tasks-kanban-1024x576.png 1024w, https:\/\/orgzit.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/01\/webapp-orgzit-tasks-kanban-300x169.png 300w, https:\/\/orgzit.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/01\/webapp-orgzit-tasks-kanban-768x432.png 768w, https:\/\/orgzit.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/01\/webapp-orgzit-tasks-kanban-1200x675.png 1200w, https:\/\/orgzit.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/01\/webapp-orgzit-tasks-kanban.png 1920w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><\/p>\n<h3><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"2_You_don%E2%80%99t_understand_coworkers_roles_responsibilities_or_jargon\"><\/span><b>2. You don&#8217;t understand coworkers roles, responsibilities or jargon:<\/b><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">This is yet another popular way through which opportunities for cross-functional collaboration is missed. This is mostly due to the fact that we don&#8217;t fully understand each worker&#8217;s roles and responsibilities and also because we sometimes use nomenclature and jargons that are not easily understandable by a wider audience. <\/span><\/p>\n<h4><b>Solution<\/b><\/h4>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Awareness is the first step towards breaking down this barrier and getting a solution. It is important for each worker to know who does what. Whenever there is the opportunity, try to know more about your co-workers and their working style, including what they may be working on. For larger organizations, company-wide show and tells where people can showcase what they are working on or have built are important. <\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Orgzit can help to assign areas of responsibilities to each employee and help to keep a list of all areas of responsibilities and their owners.<\/span><\/p>\n<h3><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"3_You_are_not_aware_of_other_team%E2%80%99s_projects\"><\/span><b>3. You are not aware of other team&#8217;s projects:<\/b><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">One of the most popular way collaborations begin is through gossips from coworkers. What is most unfortunate is that for every time we stumble upon a collaboration opportunity like this, countless more would have slipped past without our knowledge. This is simply because we are not actively aware of what other teams are working on.<\/span><\/p>\n<h4><b>Solution<\/b><\/h4>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Not knowing what other team or departments are involved in is one of the biggest constraints to effective cross-functional collaboration. To solve this, it is important you share a summary of your team&#8217;s upcoming project with the entire company or make it available on a platform where others can easily access this information. <\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Although sharing information is important, care must be taken that it does not sound like noise. Keep your sharing brief and hit on the most important points, no one wants to know about every bug fix, tweet or customer case support. Orgzit is a reliable tool that can help to achieve this. You can use its Status Update feature to give followers an update on the progress of work.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter wp-image-1689 size-large\" src=\"https:\/\/blog.orgzit.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/01\/webapp-projectmanagement-template-1-1024x576.png\" alt=\"status update feature-challenges of cross functional collaboration-Orgzit \" width=\"1024\" height=\"576\" srcset=\"https:\/\/orgzit.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/01\/webapp-projectmanagement-template-1-1024x576.png 1024w, https:\/\/orgzit.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/01\/webapp-projectmanagement-template-1-300x169.png 300w, https:\/\/orgzit.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/01\/webapp-projectmanagement-template-1-768x432.png 768w, https:\/\/orgzit.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/01\/webapp-projectmanagement-template-1-1200x675.png 1200w, https:\/\/orgzit.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/01\/webapp-projectmanagement-template-1.png 1920w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><\/p>\n<h3><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"4_Taking_on_another_project_seems_too_time-consuming\"><\/span><b>4. Taking on another project seems too time-consuming:<\/b><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n<p>This is yet another very common challenge of collaboration. The world has become much busier than ever and time has become a very scarce resource. It is very common for a team member to be interested in collaborating with you on a project. But mostly they can&#8217;t really get on it at the moment so they tell you &#8216;next month&#8217; or &#8216;next quarter&#8217;. If this postponement continues, your project may get pushed back indefinitely. Eventually, all hopes may end up getting lost.<\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The key reason for this is that getting involved in a new project often feels time-consuming and daunting. <\/span><\/p>\n<h4><b>Solution<\/b><\/h4>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Since getting involved in a new project may seem daunting, the solution will be to present a clear proposal, timeline, and estimated time commitment. Before you take the step of asking a coworker to help out on a project ensure you have the above information on hand, including the worker&#8217;s role and how much time he\/she would need to invest. With a clearer understanding of exactly what you need them to do and the time they would invest, the barrier to pitching becomes smaller.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Orgzit can help in this regard by allowing workers to create projects, due dates, and description. You can then <a href=\"https:\/\/orgzit.com\/blog\/8-best-practices-for-task-management-with-orgzit\/\">assign these tasks to individual teammates<\/a>. This tool will help them have a better understanding of what is needed to be done.<\/span><\/p>\n<h3><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"5_There%E2%80%99s_a_reluctance_to_adopt_new_ways_of_working\"><\/span><b>5. There&#8217;s a reluctance to adopt new ways of working:<\/b><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Change, although unstoppable, is one of the toughest things to do for most people. In the workplace, it is not uncommon for most people to be reluctant towards adopting a new method or way of working. They employ the if-it&#8217;s-not-broken-why-fix-it mentality.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><a href=\"https:\/\/orgzit.com\/blog\/accelerate-strategic-success-with-cross-functional-collaboration\/\">Cross-functional collaboration often relates to changing our work habits as new tools<\/a> or methods may be necessary to bring onboard. Alternatively, sticking to old habits means ignoring better opportunities be more efficient at work. It can be time-saving and can help get ahead of the pack. \u00a0\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<h4><b>Solution<\/b><\/h4>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">People are often reluctant to adopt new ways of doing things. With such an understanding, it is important that when you are introduced to something new it allows people to ease along. Do not push a major process overhaul, you can start with a simple project like an agenda. It should be something many people in the department would be involved in.<\/span><\/p>\n<h3><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Final_Note\"><\/span><strong>Final Note<\/strong><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n<p>Cross-functional collaboration is an important aspect of unlocking best works, with all the necessary insights needed uncovering.
