“I wanted to say again how impressive your simulation is. I have played simulations twice before and this one is light years ahead of those. No comparison.”T.M. BASF
“In short, I feel that the skills and abilities that your game (Marketplace) calls out for to be successful are the very skills needed to survive in business today and that makes the entire exercise highly relevant to what we all do 40+ hours per week!”J.I. Rockwell International Corporation
“We were looking for training program for our managers and employees on how to plan, operate and control a business. We wanted to show how decisions by teams or individuals can have an impact on the “bottom” line results. Your simulation met our needs and exceeded our expectations in several ways. First, the simulation also provided a good exercise in team consensus problem solving and decision making. Second, we were allowed to quickly see how various aspects of our team’s decisions affected the profitability of our business. This is not always the case in “real world”. All team members came away from the sessions with a better understanding of how a business operates and an appreciation on how they can influence business results. it was truly a worthwhile training and education tool.”P.H. Manager, ABB Components Division

Your simulation provided plenty of both and the feedback from the team was excellent. One of the best exercises we have done in years.”M.S. Director, Norwich Union
“The feedback we have had from all the team has been very positive. I must admit I have never before seen our sales team give up pre-dinner drinks because they had to complete a task in a team building exercise. This was a first!”J.S. EMEA Director, BancTec
“We wanted to focus on improving business acumen in our customer facing leadership teams and Business Smart International certainly delivered the results we needed. Over 200 of our key managers participated in the business simulation and the feedback was brilliant. The teams really wanted to keep the simulation going and forget the rest of the conference. Not only did the simulation help to develop general business acumen it also enabled individuals to develop and improve their leadership, team building and communication skills.”G.O. Sales Operations Director, QinetiQ

Managing Director, Barclays Bank
“Your simulation is outstanding and I think all large companies should be using it with their managers”R.T. Director, T-Mobile
“The simulation was used for twenty-four managers within our company who were assigned into six groups. The main objectives were to demonstrate to the managers the importance of mutual communication and financial planning in business. Our company was very satisfied. The knowledge and experience gained by the participants was evident from their evaluation responses.K.P. Personnel Development Manager, Hartmann – Rico
“We have now dispatched our 50 students back to their homes – thoroughly exhausted but all feeling that they have learned a lot about business over the weekend. The business simulation worked splendidly in keeping them focused, challenged and having to use for ‘real’ the points about business we have been telling them are important during their course at Westminster. I really did appreciate having someone at the end of the telephone to quickly resolve the minor queries during the weekend. This certainly made me feel more confident to run the game with our students. The key thing was that everyone enjoyed the exercise and even though only one team could win they all felt they had done something that was good. It was a pleasure to work with you.”F.C. Marketing Management, University of Westminster
“We were absolutely delighted with the way the day ran…the feedback was extremely good”S.L. Department Head, College of Law
