What
Our Customers Have Said:
"In
every case, groups were more productive, creative,
and energetic in doing their work than I have
experienced in other locations I've used for
group events. The design of the space, the
audio-visual support, the music, the staff
support, the overall excellent service all
work together to produce what seems to me
at times a magical experience."
Colleen M. Brown, Director-Organizational
Learning, DTE Energy
"The
list of benefits that have come out of DesignShop®
events goes on and on: radically reduced testing
times; early approval of the 777 engine for
intercontinental flight, based on setting
a world record for running an engine in a
wind tunnel continuously for 52 hours."
John Poparad, Strategist,
Arnold Engineering & Development Center
"This
is mind candy for my soul. Having attended
for two years now, this event stands alone
in my mind as an opportunity to explore new
horizons, challenge assumptions, and turbocharge
a pursuit of lifetime learning."
Steve
Jurvetson, Senior Associate,
Foresight Institute
"The
DesignShop event results were so dramatic
that Merrill Lynch said 'no, we don’t
have to wait three years before an initial
public offering — we could do it in thirteen
months.'"
Vince Wasik, MorningSide Capital, recounting
Carson Products 1995 DesignShop experience
"In
every instance we are getting done in three
days what we would have historically accomplished
in somewhere between six weeks and three months."
Lee Sage, former Senior
Partner at Ernst & Young. LLP describing
the effeciveness of the DesignShop process
"We
use our Navigation Center to help us work
on everything from day to day affairs to our
long-term planning and strategy decisions."
Dave McCurdy, NASA Wind
Tunnel Engineer & Navigation Center Knowledge
Worker
“The
result was a truly innovative and unique system
which has still not been duplicated by anyone
in the country....It is my belief that this
could not have happened in any other way than...within
the DesignShop process.”
J. L. Yurish, Jack Yurish & Associates,
former executive with National Car Rental
