Testimonials
Professors:
"I wanted to let you know that I had a chance to try the demonstration copy of Change Pro that you made available for me. In general I liked the simulation very much and thought it provided a fairly realistic depiction of the complexity and dynamic nature of organizations. I actually found the simulation to be more challenging than I expected and struggled to win over 15 adopters (avg interest 89, weighted score 275). Overall I liked the package quite a bit."
University of Toronto
"I must say that the model on which the simulation is built, contains very different and very many situations and organisational issues that indeed need to be dealt with when trying to convince a larger body within an organisation (let alone the whole organisation) of something new. The model applies very well on most company situations that are known in North America or Europe..."
[Regarding Arab relations and women in power in the game: 1st time MIT ran the Change Pro Program at Abu Dhabi (United Arab Emirate)]
"The program went very well and we did not sense any issues that could have caused cultural misunderstandings. It took the group longer than usual to get through the exercise, but they were very competitive and enjoyed the experience. Other than that, the energy the simulation creates was the same as elsewhere."
I've tried out and enjoyed a lot the experience of running the Change Pro Simulation. I really liked the core features of the program and quickly figured out many improvements compared to the EIS Simulation (others became clearer during the several trials, such as the many interesting lagged effects).
"I am pleased to tell you that the two sessions of the Managing Change Workshop have been held successfully. Our students found the simulation a great fun. Thank you very much for bring us this interesting and educational game.Thanks again for all the help and good experience!"
The University of Hong Kong
"It worked well. They very much liked it although one or two always seem to go into denial (doesn't reflect my org) when they don't do well : )"
"The simulation went very well last Saturday and there was an extraordinary turnout of 50 students."
Organizations:
"While HR Director at Pfizer, I participated in an executive education program at INSEAD, where I came into contact with the Change Pro simulation. I found this simulation particularly valuable…"
Head of Talent Management & Leadership Development
"It was a great success. People were very involved and realy did their best to make a success out of it. And I must say that every word you said about the easyness to install and run the programm was true. Thanks!"
"All went well. Our people really enjoyed the simulation. Thanks for all your help. It is a terrific simulation!"
Director, Training & Organizational Development
"I had used your simulation programme in the Change Management Programme conducted for Kone in Lausanne. I strongly believe that it is a good programme and we would like to use it in India for training and communicating to people."
Consultants:
"We conduct modular learning experiences for a variety of multi-national clients and see Change Pro as a very useful, hands-on approach for helping leader-managers to better understand the complexity of mobilizing and embedding change within their organizations."
"The Siemens workshop went very well, thank you! Great atmosphere, great evaluation and the software worked fine. Thanks for sending the link ahead of time, that really helped with the techs over there."
"Technically things went well, no problems. It was well received by the participants who were impressed by the simulation."
"We want to let you know that we were very pleased with the way the Change Pro Simulation ran during our workshop last Friday. We experienced no technical problems with the software and all participants were very enthusiastic about the simulation. Thanks for all your help during our preparation and we look forward to work with you in the future."
"The session went well and of course it was a great experience with change pro..."
