    Primero, define una visión común. Reúne a los equipos, identifica el propósito global que todos comparten y conecta sus tareas individuales con ese objetivo mayor. Usa métricas claras para demostrar cómo cada esfuerzo contribuye al éxito colectivo. La claridad crea unidad, y la unidad impulsa resultados. Luego, prioriza con transparencia. Establece acuerdos sobre qué es urgente e importante, promoviendo compromisos entre los equipos. Usa herramientas colaborativas y mantén comunicación constante para ajustar prioridades según el progreso. Recuerda: la alineación es un proceso dinámico y trabajar juntos lo hace más eficiente. ¡Equipo sincronizado, objetivo cumplido!

    To align cross-functional teams with conflicting goals, establish a shared vision that ties their objectives to overarching business outcomes. Facilitate open discussions to identify overlaps in priorities and clarify dependencies. Use data-driven decision-making to objectively assess impact and urgency. Implement a structured prioritization framework, such as OKRs or RICE scoring, to create alignment. Encourage collaboration by setting mutual success metrics and fostering transparency through regular check-ins. Finally, reinforce a culture of compromise and adaptability, ensuring teams stay focused on delivering the best overall value.
