Testimonials
"Students in my Intro to Business course rave about Pillars! It helps them to see the skill sets they need to master in their business majors, and more than a few undecided students have chosen business as a major because of their experience with Pillars in my class."
- Richard
"For my sophomore level Management class, Pillars has been a fantastic way to wrap up the semester. The excitement the competition generates creates a buzz in the hallways for weeks. I think Pillars is so popular partly because of the challenging content, but also because it is so visually stimulating. From my perspective as a teacher, it is easy to initiate and use as a learning tool."
- Don
"I use Pillars in Org Behavior where I need as many experiential tools as I can get. I wanted a totally embedded, high-pressure environment to allow my students to practice the self-control it takes to apply the principles I teach in the class. Pillars is ideal for illuminating principles of group dynamics, teamwork, decision making, communication, trust, and performance appraisal."

- Cassie, Marketing
"The Simulator taught me the importance of teamwork, cooperation and consensus-building."
- Sandy, Accounting
"The Simulator allowed our team to actually feel the challenges of Management.
I will never
forget the lessons I learned about building trust both within our group and
with other groups."
- Larry, Finance
"To be successful in the Simulator (not easy!) everyone on your team
must contribute. The key to
good teamwork was good communication. I had to learn to really listen to my
teammates."
- Crystal, Advertising
"The simulator is an incredible way to learn important business skills
in a safe, non-threatening
environment. To succeed, we had to have the right people in the right jobs and
had to make
sure the right information went to the right people. I really learned how to
handle pressure!"
- Kim, Management
