Being cross functional is one of the keys to success for any R&D / NPI team. Most consumer product business value streams flow through different functions and traditional, departmental structures often slows down the flow. This can result in delays and inefficiencies from:
- Poorly executed handover’s
- Lack of ownership for parts of the value stream
- Poorly defined responsibilities
- Ineffective performance management.
