By now, we all understand the value of cross-functional teams at the office.
Regardless of the project (creating a business plan, solving a supply chain issue, investigating a technology acquisition or sale, etc.), by including a diverse set of coworkers, you will create a team that can bring different insights and experience from all aspects of the company. The diversity of marketing, sales, and operations are commonly included in new projects, but don’t forget to include finance! This is a department that should not be overlooked (but often is!).
