The Challenge of Global Communication
In today's interconnected business world, a "Global Team" often means members scattered across three continents, five time zones, and four different native languages. While English serves as the common bridge, varying levels of proficiency can lead to costly misunderstandings, delayed projects, and reduced team cohesion.
At TechGlobal Solutions, a software development firm with hubs in Berlin, Cairo, and Tokyo, communication friction was becoming a measurable operational cost. "We noticed that our daily stand-ups were dragging on because team members hesitated to speak up, fearing their English wasn't perfect," explains Sarah Jenkins, the Training Director.
The AI-Powered Solution
TechGlobal implemented Speaking Genie's Corporate Fluency Program. The goal wasn't just "better English"—it was building the confidence to communicate technical concepts clearly and concisely.
Key Implementation Steps:
- Role-Specific Scenarios: Developers practiced explaining code logic, while PMs practiced negotiation and timeline updates.
