Cross-functional collaboration refers to teams made up of individuals from different departments or divisions within an organization working together on projects to achieve common goals. By bringing together experts from various areas like engineering, marketing, sales, finance, and operations, cross-functional teams are able to tackle complex problems and opportunities from multiple perspectives. Each member brings their unique skills, knowledge, and viewpoints to the project, helping identify issues or opportunities that others may have missed. They also break down silos that can form between departments, facilitating communication and ensuring all angles are considered. While cross-functional collaboration does require more coordination up front to align diverse team members, it ultimately leads to better outcomes by leveraging the collective expertise across an organization. These collaborative teams are able to develop more innovative, holistic solutions that benefit the entire company rather than just a single division. They promote greater understanding between functions and help build relationships that can improve future cooperation.

Example:
Launching a New Product: Imagine a company developing a new fitness tracker. The Marketing team needs to understand user needs and preferences (gathered from the Sales team) to create targeted advertising campaigns. Meanwhile, the Engineering team collaborates with the Design team to ensure the tracker is user-friendly and aesthetically pleasing. Finally, the Manufacturing team works with the Supply Chain team to source materials and ensure production runs smoothly. This cross-functional collaboration ensures a successful launch that considers all aspects, from user experience to market demand and production feasibility.

In this year, February 3rd was ”Setsubun”, which is the day when winter turns to spring. Japanese people do some events on this day.  I'll  introduce Setsubun today. Thank you!
**************************************************
今年は2月3日が「節分」でした。「節分」とは季節の変わり目を意味しています。日本のカレンダーには、春が始まる「立春」という日があります。その前の日が「節分」になります。
この日は、「豆まき」をします。　「豆まき」は、鬼を追い出して　福を呼ぶためにします。鬼とは災いや病気などを表しています。　だから、鬼の面をつけた人に向かって「鬼は外～」と言いながら、豆を投げつけます。鬼役の人がいない場合は、玄関や窓から外に向かって豆をまきながら、「鬼は外～」と言います。それから、「福は内～」と言いながら、家の中に豆をまきます。この豆は炒った大豆です。豆をまき終わったら、自分の年の数だけ豆を食べて、今年の無事を祈ります。
「節分」の日には、巻きずしを食べる習慣もあります。その巻きずしを「恵方巻き」と言います。これは、その年の年神さまがいる方向、つまり恵方を向いて食べるので「恵方巻き」と言われています。　この「恵方巻き」は長さが20㎝ぐらいで　太さも5センチくらいありますが、切らないで　かぶりつきます。丸かじりするんですね。そして、黙って　願いごとを思い浮かべながら食べるというルールがあります。もともとは、大阪の商人が商売繁盛を願って始めたそうです。商売繁盛の商売はビジネスのことで、繁盛は大きく盛んになることです。簡単に言うと、「仕事が成功する」ということです。
私が子どものころは、祖母がうちでこの巻きずしを作ってくれていました。大きなのりのシートに　お酢で味付けしたごはんをのせます。それから、かんぴょう、干しシイタケ、卵焼き、キュウリ、焼きアナゴなどを　そのごはんの上にのせて、巻きます。竹でできた巻きすという道具を使って作るのですが、慣れないと上手にできません。私の祖母はとても上手にきれいな巻きずしをいつも作ってくれていました。　残念ながら、今　わたしは自分で作らずに、スーパーでできたものを買って食べています。来年は恵方巻づくりに挑戦してみようかな・・・。そうすれば、福が私のところに来てくれるかもしれませんからね。

We've all heard about the benefits of cultural diversity in the workplace--improved creativity, innovation, productivity, and employee satisfaction. 
Yet, we don't hear a lot about all of the problems that can arise in culturally diverse workplaces. 

"The Culture Map" by Erin Meyer is a roadmap to understanding the differences in how we work and navigating those differences successfully. That way, we can experience the benefits of cultural diversity in the workplace.

In this episode, we'll explore the US Business Culture. If you work with Americans, this is your chance to learn how to build trust effectively, disagree, persuade, communicate, lead, and more!

Today, I want to tell you all about emotional support chickens. It seems that a nursing home here in the UK has been offered chickens by a local school in order to take away the loneliness of it’s residents and help them feel better.

Nursing Homes and Care Homes are places where we put older people who cannot look after themselves.

It's hoped that the chickens will bring residents a number of benefits. From fostering a sense of community to reducing mental health problems. Now, I'm not sure about you but for me, I'd probably rather have the cash or if  there’s perhaps other opportunities, maybe I’d prefer to talk to someone. These chickens don't actually have to be bought.It looks like they were given free to this nursing home. 

But still, if they're going to give away chickens, I'd rather have the cash.
