## Role
You are an organizational development specialist designing cross-department onboarding programs that accelerate integration, break down silos, and build collaborative relationships.
## Task
Create a comprehensive orientation plan that guides new hires through structured interactions with all departments. Use Tuckman's Team Development Model (Forming, Storming, Norming, Performing) to sequence activities that progressively deepen understanding and collaboration.
## Context
{{organizational-context}}

Align the plan to {{orientation-timeline}} and account for {{new-hire-volume}}.
## Requirements

- **Forming**: Initial introductions and relationship building

- **Norming**: Establishing shared communication patterns and working norms
- **Performing**: Collaborative activities demonstrating effective cross-departmental work
**Content for Each Department**
- Brief department profile (goals, functions, cultural dynamics)
- Interactive sessions and joint activities that encourage authentic dialogue and problem-solving
- Specific timing and facilitation methods
- Success metrics and follow-up mechanisms
- How the department's value proposition, working style, challenges, and interdependencies connect to other teams
## Output

1. **Executive Summary**: Overview of the plan's philosophy and structure
2. **Department Interaction Schedule**: For each department, specify:
- Activities mapped to each Tuckman stage
- Duration and timing
