Las expresiones ayudan a dar color a tus conversaciones y bien usadas te hacen sonar más natural en el idioma que estudias. En español, como en la mayoría de los idiomas tenemos muchas. Y en el episodio de hoy te voy a hablar de algunas que tienen algo en común. Todas ellas usan la palabra pez, o su plural, peces. En el episodio además de explicarte lo que significan te doy ejemplos de cuando podemos utilizarlas para que las veas en contexto.

ESTE CUENTO NOS HABLA DE: El Expreso de la Medianoche: Un Enigmático Juego parte 2.


Tras el aparente cierre del caso del banquero asesinado, el detective se vio envuelto en una nueva serie de eventos extraños. Visiones recurrentes del niño autista, mensajes crípticos en el diario del banquero y la reaparición de la joya robada lo llevaron a una conclusión aterradora: el caso estaba lejos de resolverse.

Descubrió que la sociedad secreta a la que pertenecía el banquero era mucho más antigua y poderosa de lo que imaginaba. Sus rituales ocultos y sus conocimientos prohibidos estaban relacionados con una reliquia ancestral, y la joya robada era una pieza fundamental para activarla.

El detective, junto con el niño autista, se embarcó en una peligrosa búsqueda a través de Europa, siguiendo las pistas dejadas por la sociedad secreta. Descubrieron que el tren Orient Express era solo una pieza de un rompecabezas mucho más grande, y que el asesinato del banquero era parte de un plan milenario para desatar una fuerza oscura sobre el mundo.

Cross-functional collaboration refers to teams made up of individuals from different departments or divisions within an organization working together on projects to achieve common goals. By bringing together experts from various areas like engineering, marketing, sales, finance, and operations, cross-functional teams are able to tackle complex problems and opportunities from multiple perspectives. Each member brings their unique skills, knowledge, and viewpoints to the project, helping identify issues or opportunities that others may have missed. They also break down silos that can form between departments, facilitating communication and ensuring all angles are considered. While cross-functional collaboration does require more coordination up front to align diverse team members, it ultimately leads to better outcomes by leveraging the collective expertise across an organization. These collaborative teams are able to develop more innovative, holistic solutions that benefit the entire company rather than just a single division. They promote greater understanding between functions and help build relationships that can improve future cooperation.

Example:
Launching a New Product: Imagine a company developing a new fitness tracker. The Marketing team needs to understand user needs and preferences (gathered from the Sales team) to create targeted advertising campaigns. Meanwhile, the Engineering team collaborates with the Design team to ensure the tracker is user-friendly and aesthetically pleasing. Finally, the Manufacturing team works with the Supply Chain team to source materials and ensure production runs smoothly. This cross-functional collaboration ensures a successful launch that considers all aspects, from user experience to market demand and production feasibility.
