Case studies from our work in Valencia

Case study 1: tech team at Marina de Empresas

Situation: An international product team needed to handle more meetings and support calls in Spanish, but team members all had different schedules.

Results:

• Team members started leading parts of meetings in Spanish with local stakeholders.

• Better cooperation in multidisciplinary meetings with Spanish colleagues.
