New products, departments and management levels require greater specialization. At the same time, the big picture becomes harder to see. Common consequences include duplicated work, conflicting priorities and local successes that create costs or delays elsewhere.
A new organizational chart rarely resolves these conflicts. Collaboration improves when shared company goals are translated into cross-functional outcomes and decisions consider the entire value chain.
We make conflicting goals, handovers and dependencies visible. We then clarify shared priorities, decision rights and a small number of binding coordination routines. Where useful, we create cross-functional teams with joint responsibility for results.

This allows each function to retain its specialist strengths while decisions once again support the success of the company as a whole.
