What our clients say

I have used the Immersion Lab for several years now as part of our boutique executive development program. In particular the custom Immersion offering is a transformational experience for our executives over and over again. The Immersion Lab provided customised and adaptive in-market experiences for our leaders all over the globe and the inside-looking-out experience develops a step change in our executives and is a critical component of our overall program. Glynnis and her team are also great fun to work with, they are dynamic, flexible and thought leaders in their space.

We recognize the value of learning from the external environment for our talents in Novartis. Through such immersion programs, we see concepts and business practices that were discussed in the classroom come alive. Through the experiences designed by the Immersion Lab, our talents were able to learn from a variety of industries and draw parallels to their own business challenges. Regardless of the location that we picked, whether in Asia or Latin America, the quality and the execution of the experiences have been consistently outstanding.

Over the course of ten years I have had the pleasure of working with the Immersion Lab several times. On each occasion they delivered incredible value. The experiences they created, without fail, taught leaders how to truly become more externally and market focused. They showed, firsthand, what is required to create innovative and open cultures in today’s business environment. Most importantly, the Immersion Lab created experiences that delivered powerful and lasting learning for the leaders who were part of the experience.

The Immersion Lab has been a wonderful partner throughout our redesign of our approach to executive development. Unafraid to take risks, learn, and adjust, we have created a truly powerful and differentiated development experience which has borne out tangible results. Glynnis and her team are as adept at strategy development as they are at flawless execution, where nothing gets lost in between. This is invaluable.
