5. Give one scenario where offices applied Cross Functions in an organization.

Apple is all about the user experience, even in ways consumers may not observe. This team is
responsible to keep things going as finished products move through their supply chain and sales
channels. They work cross-functionally with other Apple teams to discover ways to enhance processes,
such as making it simple for consumers to order a product online and pick it up in a store. Cross-
functional collaboration is critical as no one team is responsible for a product or a service on its own.
You may need dozens of specialist teams for even a single module of a new product. Yet every team
works with a common motive – to create an amazing customer experience.
