Abstract: Traditional internal organizations with heavy competition, unbending functional silos and undue compartmentalization exhibit sub-optimal performance by preventing critical knowledge flows. Cross-functional teaming attempts to solve this problem by building organizational connections across functional silos. However, merely bringing members of formerly isolated departments together produces only marginal increases in performance. Any synergistic collaboration is likely to rise serendipitously and unpredictably. We propose a systematic approach for combining the principles of knowledge management and cross-functional teaming purposefully in ways that enhance knowledge flows and result in significant improvements in organizational performance as measured by cost, time and quality
