Review:
"Lost in Cyberspace is a realistic, challenging, mind and practice altering simulation that builds savvy and skill in teams working in a virtual, fast–paced, global landscape. Success for teams in high stress projects always depends on having a common purpose, a common language (Fantastic Glossary of Terms), and the human talent to achieve results. This simulation shows both the importance and interaction of these elements, happens in –real time using many e–Tools and brings the magic of collaborative learning and appreciation to globally dispersed teams. The simulation breeds mastery in the users and provides uplifting human energy and hope to people asked to do "impossible" tasks with insufficient time!"

"It′s tempting –– and dangerous –– to see every problem as a technology problem. Lost in Cyberspace widens our view. It shows in a powerful and memorable way that problems and opportunities in the virtual environment also involve people, information, teambuilding, and group dynamics. If you want to beam up your organization to a higher level, invest an hour or two in this exercise.

Creating a Meaningful Workplace
"I loved the creative way this simulation uses the activity to develop knowledge and thought process for the collaborative virtual environment and apply the concepts required for successful collaboration. This activity can be an exciting ice breaker upon which a complete virtual teaming skill development seminar can be based, or used as an activity for collaboration and consensus decision–making in both face to face and virtual environments."
–– Trina Hoefling, Consult One Group
"For those who have long sought a solid but relevant team training experience, Lost in Cyberspace surfaces how to contribute to and take part in group decision–making across geographic distance and different time zones. Unlike other simulations where location (the desert, the Arctic) stretches credibility for all but the most intuitive audiences, Lost in Cyberspace delivers best practices for teambuilding in a common business setting – the virtual meeting – in just a few hours. One of the best programs I have seen in years, and one we will buy to use with clients!"
