You will practice setting joint goals that respect departmental priorities while still driving shared outcomes. The lessons show how to handle conflicting expectations between IT, operations, marketing, and finance. You will learn communication techniques that keep diverse experts aligned without endless meetings. The program also covers how to manage remote and hybrid cross-functional teams across locations and time zones. You will work with realistic scenarios where deadlines, budgets, and requirements collide. You will learn how to keep momentum when decision-making is slow and approvals are layered. By the end, you will be able to lead cross-functional initiatives that move forward even in complex enterprise structures.
