To strengthen cross-functional relationships, translate your team's goals into the metrics and priorities that matter to other departments. When you shape your deliverables around what stakeholders actually value, you're more likely to get what you need too.
If I may add to Philip's point, it's a great point, and he's absolutely right in kind of, you know, there are agendas in the individual functions we kind of deal with as stakeholders. So reframing our function's agenda into the words or the KPIs of the other function's agenda, putting ourselves in the shoes of our stakeholders and trying to anticipate what kind of results they are looking for, and then molding our function's results into a way which could be acceptable to the other stakeholders can also go a long way in delivering that relationship between the 2 functions and have our agenda kind of fructified.
