Cross-functional management: principles, processes and success factors associated with a matrix or collaborative organization



Many contemporary organizations are refocusing their efforts on improving their business processes and revamping their traditional vertical functional structures in order to enhance their performance and better meet the needs of their clients. Business units with a specific product or market focus, for example, are learning to work around shared processes, such as an integrated service offering.

Similarly, many healthcare agencies are overhauling their structures based on interorganizational, client-centric programs. The need to “break down silos” within an organization and promote a management style that emphasizes processes and networks, with various stakeholders working together on an ongoing basis, is key to delivering value-added outcomes to clients.
