As organizations grow, individual visibility can diminish, leading to overlapping work and duplication, which wastes time and resources. A McKinsey survey highlights that 40% of respondents cite lack of role clarity as the primary cause.
Overlapping work involves tasks that differ slightly but cause confusion, while duplication occurs when tasks are identical resulting in complete waste of resources. This inefficiency highlights the necessity for clear communication and coordination within teams.
To combat duplicated efforts, organizations must streamline communication and establish better project management practices, fostering a culture of collaboration where teams are informed about each other's work.
The impact of duplication can be detrimental—marketing and sales teams unknowingly creating competing brochures for the same product exemplifies wasted resources and highlights the importance of synchronization in team efforts.
