Was unsere Kunden sagen.

„Aus eurem Workshop konnten wir viele Ansätze super für unsere Arbeit im Team mitnehmen. Es war genau der bereichernde Impuls, den wir uns gewünscht haben, in einer gemeinsamen „Veranstalter-Sprache". Mit dem daraus resultierenden Drive konnten wir die restlichen Team-Tage sehr gut an unseren „Baustellen" weiterarbeiten und viel anstoßen."

„Mit PIRATEx haben wir einen agilen Partner an unserer Seite gehabt, um ein innovatives, hybrides Event umzusetzen. Insbesondere vor Ort haben wir von der Agilität und dem lösungsorientierten Handeln durch PIRATEx stark profitiert. Ein Schlüssel des Erfolgs des Events war, dass PIRATEx mit unserer Crew wie ein großes Team zusammen gearbeitet hat und nicht, als wären wir zwei verschiedene Parteien."
