You will gain a better understanding of the advantages and disadvantages of localising and/or globalising from a customer experience perspective as well as the risks of doing neither. You will walk away with practical tips on how to conduct international usability testing. We will provide usability case studies from industry, which we will work through as a group, and include examples from systems and products.
