Changesetter works well, in spite of cultural differences 

Changesetter is a well-designed tool. It is a good way to visualize and support changes. It provides a concrete basis for discussing the challenges and reactions that we typically meet among employees, and the managerial tools that we can bring into play to successfully manage change. The game makes it easy to understand the kind of difficult challenges and decisions faced by employees, managers and the company as a whole.Read more

Changesetter – a brilliant tool

Changesetter is a brilliant tool because the inherent structure of the course quickly motivates employees to actively participate in the game.

Changesetter stimulates and challenges

The Level 2 managers have been given the tools to view resistance from a leadership perspective and have gained the insight that employee reactions are natural and that they should not be taken personally.Read more
