Break silos and build cross-functional bridges

Cross-functional alignment is what makes (or breaks) teams. When engineering, product, and business come together to navigate conflict, foster collaboration, and encourage shared ownership, progress soars.

For senior technical leaders, overseeing large teams with competing priorities often invites friction with other functions. Silos between product, business, and engineering add even more complexity, as they create misalignment, making it ever-harder to deliver impact. 

Without alignment teams operate in isolation. And isolation creates situations where engineering teams are left to build systems without business context, non-technical leaders push for initiatives that ignore technical constraints, and shared ownership feels like an uphill battle. 

In this webinar, our DirectorPlus panel will discuss proven strategies for aligning goals across large teams, navigating healthy conflict, fostering a culture of collaboration, and introducing a shared-ownership mentality. 

Key takeaways: 

  • How to align engineering, product, and business teams in the face of competing priorities
  • Strategies to communicate technical constraints to non-technical stakeholders
  • Best practices for creating cross-functional cultures that drive shared success
  • How to establish shared ownership without losing clarity on accountability
