These pages are about tools and toolkits for Organizational Development. Some would call them my "Competitors." My view is that there are lots of tools that are needed and these are simply other ones.

(If you have NOT yet purchased a team building simulation, compare any of these to ours on issues of price and cost.
We feel Lost Dutchman is the best total value exercise in the marketplace.)

Note: This page undergoes continuous continuous improvement. Other links and connections would be appreciated. Plus any testimonials, comments or annotations on these products and services would be of value and can be added to the link.

Wouldn't it be great if more vendors showed their pricing??
Ask them to post their prices so that you can get information more easily!
