Abstract

Cross-functional teams, composed of members from diverse disciplines, have become crucial in driving innovation and achieving success in complex projects. This paper explores the dynamics of cross-functional teams, emphasizing how multidisciplinary collaboration enhances problem-solving, creativity, and project outcomes. By examining various case studies and theoretical frameworks, the study highlights the benefits and challenges of integrating diverse expertise within a team. Key factors such as communication, leadership, and team dynamics are discussed in relation to their impact on team performance. The findings suggest that effective cross-functional collaboration not only accelerates project success but also fosters a culture of innovation and continuous improvement. Recommendations for organizations on how to build and sustain successful cross-functional teams are provided.
