Use tools to improve transparency so that employees can readily understand the organization’s top overall priorities by department and region. To improve cross-functional collaboration, make sure that overarching goals and department goals are shared across the entire company. Co-creation workshops will yield quicker, more worthwhile results – previously established levels of comfort and trust will allow for more robust brainstorming sessions, and employees will be more relaxed and confident in sharing ideas.
