10. KEY TAKEAWAYS
There should be clear & transparent communication between each and
every department for over all growth of the organization.
The roles & responsibilities of each department are to accomplish their
goals and to support other department’s growth as well.
There should be proper hierarchy in the department & flow of
information/procedures should be bi-directional.
Some of the critical departments can be shared among multiple
departments, so that talent pool is available for everyone.
