Testimonials

“Larry Suda and Management Worlds have been a valuable resource to me for the past 13 years. Larry possesses a unique combination of analytic and communications skills and specializes in those difficult to get at, soft issues of people and teams within the corporate environment. Larry has never failed to leave a lasting impact on the organizations he has engaged with. Larry provides results."

- Dr. Edward Hoffman, Director, Program and Project Management (APPL) NASA

"I found Management Worlds’ simulations to be an excellent training tool on project leadership. Larry Suda was professional and approachable. This training laid good groundwork for anyone seeking to take on a project leadership role. At a minimum, it let us experience firsthand the challenges a project leader faces in these days of tight budgets, lean work forces, and fast schedules."

- Tim Sorg, Product Development Engineer

"I went through all of the surveys and evaluations that were sent to me and correlated them to the template that GM uses, to check accuracy and to capture all of the comments. The overall score of 4.98 for Management Worlds’ PLE simulation was, without question, the highest score that I have ever seen for a large training class! Simply phenomenal. Great job, Management Worlds."

- John Duke, Director

"I've worked with Management Worlds for almost 10 years, and their leadership and project management simulation workshops are a key part of our Leadership Development Program in North America, Europe, and Africa. The simulations are always rated at the top of the evaluation scores, and we consider them as highly effective tools in our program and project management curricula."

- Catherine Hayser, Training Manager

"Running the project simulation helped me look at my projects at a much higher level than I have before because it provided tactical views of all the moving parts of a project (risk, resources, schedules, costs, etc.) plus practical application experiences that you do not usually get in a classroom setting. In the workshop setting, teaming up with people from other cultures helped me practice working with these differences, and allowed me to think through questions, like "what will I need to do differently than what I am used to when working with global project teams?"

- Sally Deering, Senior Vice President NCG Service Delivery Management

"The Global Project Leadership Workshop was a great team experience for me and improved my knowledge of managing our global teams here at IBM. I was part of a multinational team in the simulation. The program's learning design was great; the simulation was very realistic; and the workshop overall made me think about some things that I have not considered before. I was extremely enthusiastic about the workshop and I have recommended it to my colleagues at IBM."

- Hannah Gernega, Service Manager, IT Development

"The Project Leadership Experience is not only a great simulation but I have had quite a bit of project management training and I thought that in terms of education of project managers, PLE is clearly in a class by itself. The simulation workshop that we ran for our clients takes a very holistic picture of what is going on in the project environment. The simulation really delivers these visible and invisible factors and demonstrates that a very even, methodical and consistent approach is necessary to manage projects, and that you really have to work with these factors to succeed."
