interdepartmental
Spanning multiple divisions
Interdepartmental means involving or occurring between different departments within an organization: an interdepartmental memo, interdepartmental cooperation.
The word appears most often in corporate, governmental, and academic contexts where formal divisions exist.
The interdepartmental task force met weekly to coordinate the project.
