X-fct collaboration of field functions is best covered by the xKAM approach which stands for “cross-functional key account management.” It is a mindset and a process that brings multiple functions together into one voice to deliver value to our stakeholders and address business challenges. Business conduct, data protection, competitive intelligence, and compliant communication BC guidelines should be followed to ensure compliance.
