Tips to Increase the Effectiveness of Cross Functional Teams

	          		Here are 2 tips to increase the effectiveness of CFTs that I know from experience:
If several (±30-40%) of the members have dual/triple specialisations e.g., marketing-finance, marketing-hr, marketing-hr-finance, operations-marketing etc., this enhances the effectiveness of the CFT.
In the early stages of forming/norming, the team must have a code of conduct and culture which allows an open and unbiased opportunity for constructive criticism.
