If you are a new customer,
you will find Dutchman to be
an amazing tool for involving
and engaging people in
workplace improvement.
Just wanted to let you know we delivered this yesterday at our annual recharge.
It was fabulous! Interactive, fun, insightful and lots of learning...that's part of our
brand at Science North so a perfect fit. Debrief was "awesome" and fit so well as we
prepare to launch our new strategic plan which has as one of its key priorities an
"Awesome Organizational Culture" goal. Great teambuilding tool; well worth the
investment. I can't think of a better way to have kicked off our recharge!"

Benefits of the Upgrade to Existing Users
• Dutchman has been continuously improving for 25 years and you’ll receive all
the enhancements to the delivery and debriefing materials as well as the
support files giving you the newest, up-to-date version of the exercise.
• Your customers will find the LEGO® images to be an engaging aspect of the
presentation and debriefing sections of the game.
• The upgrades to the Dutchman materials link wonderfully to our expanding
Square Wheels® organizational development tools.
• Should you desire to reinforce any learning points of the game, we’ll be happy
to work with you in customizing workplace improvement posters using the
Lego images.
Your current ancillary materials (game cards, poster maps, etc.) remain the same
so no need to acquire new ones although if you need more, they are available.
If you wish to expand your current Dutchman version to one that handles more
participants, we’ll give you credit for your present version toward a larger
version.
