Hi Jacky, there are no specific techniques as such to reach this goal. Here is what I feel can be done in order to have better inter-department coordination:
- Map differences and more effectively manage them to increase interdepartmental cooperation and performance.
- Increase and improve communication between various departments.
- Create some groups/committees from various departments to decide on:
- Menu for a week if you have an internal canteen.
- Transport committee which handles transportation with the Administration department.
- Weekly fun activities committee.
- Annual function committee.
- And there can be many other such committees.
- Organize training programs where people from different departments can jointly participate.
- Induction training - while imparting induction training, emphasis should be given to the importance of all the departments and Process Integration.
- Business Process Integration.
These are a few of the things that can be done to accomplish better cooperation within various departments.
