What our customers say

Chris Coleridge

"We needed a simulation that would be relatively easy to get to grips with but with very satisfying and "realistic" levels of complexity and challenge. Cesim Global Challenge fit the bill very well for our Executive MBA students."

Chris Coleridge
Lecturer in Strategy
London Business School

Giles Forbes

"In my experience, students often complain about having to do team-based assignments but with Cesim Marketing the feedback from the students was very positive. Almost every student listed team work as a valuable feature of the simulation, and practical application of theory and the competitive aspect were highly appreciated, too."

Giles Forbes
Marketing Course Leader
University of Huddersfield

Raluca Bunduchi

"The simulation has been a great addition to my strategy course. It is an extraordinary teaching tool to get the students engaged and enthusiastic about strategy, and the student feedback has been fantastic."

Simon Wilson

"All the graduates came back with the comment I expected, which is that banking and actually running a bank is an incredibly complex business! It’s not quite as simple as ‘pull this lever and this happens.’"

Simon Wilson
Risk Advisory Partner
Parker Fitzgerald

Topi Paananen

"I wanted my management to experience the main internal and external profitability drivers and challenges from the holistic point of view. Cesim’s solution offered me the opportunity to implement a case and a storyline that captured relevant aspects in a dynamic, competitive, and fun environment."

Topi Paananen
CEO
Peikko Group

Ulrike Oswald
