Managing the new product development teams

Reading the twelfth chapter I found a term that it’s becoming very common in the modern practices by the companies. I am talking about cross-functional teams, which the author describes as a group of members drawn from more than one functional area. Managers believe they can ensure different perspectives and bases of expertise with cross-functional teams in order to solve problems.
I would like to share a video provided by a company called InSiteOne where their CFO Henry Schaffer talks about the benefits of creating cross-functional teams. This video it’s a great example of success when implementing this type of strategy, in the way they illustrate how the company increased productivity, started to solve problem quickly, and evolving with the new technologies. Despite the positive results it is also notable the employees satisfaction sharing knowledge with co-workers from different areas.
