Serrano is also afounding partner of Transforma (transforma.es), where he has led workshops with 114 companies from 57 countries and over 20,000 executives in the last 22 years. He has worked with his popular Titanic Case Study with virtually all of them.
Analyzing this case study hundreds of times with executives from so many different countries, industries, environments (B2B, B2C), and companies has provided Professor Serrano with an extraordinary amount of valuable feedback that he uses carefully to enrich each update of the study. The rapidly changing circumstances of business environments (both B2B and B2C) have also had an important influence on the continuous updates of the study, making it one of the most successful case studies ever.
