Director Retail Division
Testimonials:
"We gaan voor Goud!" (We go for Gold!)
Heineken Brouwerijen Retail division worked together with Q Challenge in the program
"We gaan voor Goud!?" (We go for Gold!)
Tremendous changes in the internal communication have been achieved! E.g. there
is a SMART club initiated, in which only the top SMART communicators are invited.
There is strict preparation for meetings demanded; team members ask themselves before,
during and after actions whether this initiates "Gold".
There are visual artifacts developed such as a mascot DIMMY (which represents the
mindset of Thinking in Solutions); the entrance to the department is called the
"SMART zone". Next to these internal successes also external successes have been
achieved in applying the Q Challenge philosophy. All in all an excellent experience!

World Class Leadership
The drive to further develop leadership in Heineken Asia Pacific has been an
fruitful journey, with great support of Q Challenge. Their methods may be
unconventional at times, results are what makes a programme successful and
what ultimately counts. Excellent business performance for two consecutive years,
plus creating strong team links between individual managers in 6 totally different
AP countries are what we aimed for, and what we got out of the programme.
Next to many good laughs and a well-filled tool kit to take on future challenges.
A memorable experience in more than one way for all!

World Class Leadership – We brew stars
< Turning Point of my life - Chloe Choi >
What could be a turning point of your life? When could you have an opportunity to change your life? It might not be easy to get these moments.
When I was introduced of World Class Leadership program (WCL) and invited, I thought this is going be another leadership training like I have experienced so far. However, I definitely could feel the difference from the beginning of the class.
My wonderful coach, Pat, already knew all participants’ name and leadership challenges from the result of QChallenge online survey. In addition, her preparation and WCL’s unique and well developed training were perfectly matched with my expectation. While I was going through 4 times training during 2years, I could see myself as a leader who has competence and who knows what I am doing. These are huge improvements for me and actually I was able to see my big changes from the evaluation at the end of course.
I strongly recommend WCL training if you really want to see who you are and find a solution of your life as a true leader.

Testimonials:
Thank you from Dow Corning…
When Dow Corning constructed its flagship chemical plant in Zhangjiagang China,
it clearly recognized that the outstanding challenge was to enhance and integrate
the leadership capability of its new managers according to the company’s culture.
To meet this objective, Ute Bai, Managing Partner of Q Challenge China, was
requested to deliver a series of customized leadership programs. More than sixty
of our managers were coached in highly interactive group workshops.
The response and feedback to the programs delivered by Ute has been very positive.
It has institutionalized the path towards building the leadership capability for
this site.
We are looking forward to work together with Q Challenge in the future also in
our other sites in China.

Testimonials:
Tele2 offers price leading and easy to use communication services. At the end of 2005 we faced an important step forward in the success of our company. We took over Versatel in the Netherlands and had to integrate both companies. To make sure that we were going to operate as one company, as one team, we decided to call in Q Challenge to organize leadership sessions with our management. By training our management in the champion philosophy of Q Challenge and by discussing the key values of Tele2: flexibility, openness and cost consciousness, we were able to manage a cultural change within our company. We would like to thank Q Challenge for their expertise and dedication to implement the Tele2-way and for helping us to build a strong and healthy company that is working as one team for our customers.

P2D ?Development Survey
The P2D ?Development Survey was introduced in UNICEF EAPR in 2003 with the objective
to increase the staff motivation and happiness, retaining and attracting high-caliber
staff and to build short-term and long-term organization capability. Q Challenge
supported our East Asia and Pacific Office in measuring our Development Culture
in the period from 2003 to 2005. The purpose of the assessment was to characterize
the five key dimensions of our development culture. The QCOM ?Instrument (Q Challenge
Customer Online Measurement) provides a detailed picture of how we live our development
culture at all levels in the organization, what our strengths and potential weaknesses
are and what actions to take.
