INSIGHT

Cross-functional Teams Face Structural Barriers

  • Cross-functional teams struggle because traditional organizational structures are siloed and not designed for cross-functional value creation.
  • Teams often lack dedicated time and clear charters, making cross-functional work feel like extra, unprioritized tasks.
ADVICE

Use Separate Bet and Team Charters

  • Separate the bet charter from the team charter to clarify what is being pursued versus how the team will operate.
  • Ensure the bet charter is broad enough for team learning but precise enough to gain consent from key stakeholders.
INSIGHT

Leverage Concurrent Experimentation

  • Large organizations can benefit from running concurrent experiments to validate different approaches.
  • This counters efficiency bias by embracing the value of parallel testing to find the best solution.
