They may be essential to large, often global organisations, but corporate functions tend to have a very mixed reputation in demonstrating how they add value. In this mini-series we will explore the various aspects of Corporate Functions and the role they play in organisational performance.
Of course, life without them would be very difficult, as each performance or business unit would require its own suite of IT, Finance & HR skills, leading to expensive overlap in resources. Yet few would argue that life with a suite of functions to support them is plain sailing. So how can Functional teams regain their reputation as time savers and value adders to their organisation?
In this series we will explore the five key areas for achieving functional excellence:
- Quality of Leadership within & across Functions
- Role Clarity – Who should be doing what?
- Achieving Operational Excellence
- Harnessing Creativity in an increasingly regulated environment
- Demonstrating Functional Value-Add
Our first instalment later this week will focus on Leadership in Functions.
