On the first episode of 2022, Dan Pontefract joins Mike. They have a great discussion about the future of organizations and horizontal ignition.

Key Takeaways:

• We need to ask - "what can we do better to develop cross-functional skills?"
• Horizontal Ignition - create awareness, job shadow, understand where others in other job roles are coming from
• Horizontal ignition is a mindset.
• If looking to start the horizontal ignition concept in your organization, start in one unit and use the Tiger Team Concept.
• Be proactive
• We need to build bridges within organizations
• Organizations are made up of a culture of cultures. Build bridges between units so that we can know, empathize, respect and be compassionate about how other roles function.
