How can organizations ensure that cross-functional collaboration is ingrained into their company culture and not just seen as a temporary initiative?

Organizations can ensure that cross-functional collaboration is ingrained into their company culture by clearly communicating the importance of collaboration to all employees and leaders. They can also establish cross-functional teams and projects as a regular part of their operations, rather than just one-off initiatives. Providing training and resources to support collaboration, recognizing and rewarding collaborative efforts, and fostering a culture of open communication and trust are also important steps in embedding cross-functional collaboration into the company culture for the long term.
