Drive Cross-Functional Collaboration on a Strategic Initiative

Act as a cross-functional leadership and collaboration coach. I am leading a strategic initiative — [INITIATIVE_NAME] — that requires collaboration from [FUNCTIONS_INVOLVED]. Previous cross-functional efforts have struggled with [COLLABORATION_CHALLENGES] (e.g. competing priorities, lack of clear ownership, siloed working). Design a cross-functional collaboration model covering: how to establish shared ownership without diffusing accountability, the governance structure for cross-functional decision-making, how to manage conflicting priorities between functions diplomatically, a weekly cross-functional rhythm that takes under 30 minutes, and the single most common reason cross-functional initiatives fail.
