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.

Parque Delta es considerado uno de los inmuebles con mayor actividad paranormal en la ciudad, los cuales son reportados por sus visitantes, quienes escuchan ruidos extraños o ven personas que posteriormente se desvanecen en el aire como si nunca hubiesen estado ahí.

La sobria historia de Parque Delta comienza entre los años 1925 y 1936, cuando todavía no era un centro comercial sino un estadio de béisbol. El 15 de junio de 1952 mientras se jugaba el tercer juego de la serie entre diablos rojos de México y rojos de águila Veracruz, se derrumbó parte de la gradería, dejando decenas de personas heridas y 2 muertos.

En 1955, el IMSS adquirió este terreno para construir el parque del seguro social, un estadio que fue la casa de los diablos rojos de México y los tigres capitalinos hasta su cierre en el año 2000. Durante esta etapa, ocurrió uno de los eventos más trágicos en la historia de México, el terremoto de 1985, con una escala de 8.1 grados.

Ese desastre natural costó la vida a muchas personas debido a los cientos de edificios, hoteles, y viviendas, entre otras edificaciones que colapsaron en la Ciudad de México. Entre las edificaciones que colapsaron en esa ocasión se encuentran hospitales como el centro médico Nacional, el cual estaba muy cerca de parque delta.

Ante la necesidad de un lugar para resguardar los cientos de cuerpos de personas fallecidas, y la falta de morgues y hospitales para ello, el lugar fue acondicionado para convertirse en una morgue, por lo que durante el desastre, Parque Delta recibió los cuerpos de cientos de personas fallecidas bajo los escombros de los edificios derrumbados.

Principalmente, Parque Delta se resguardo los cuerpos de personas no reconocidas, entre quienes no tenían familia o que sencillamente no eran localizados entre el caos. Los cuerpos eran conservados con uso de hielo, formol y sal para retrasar la descomposición.

Durante este terrible desastre natural, Parque Delta se convirtió en la morgue más grande del...
