Professor Feedback

Dr Maarten Wubben

“We use Prendo’s ‘pactio’ simulation every year in the capstone course Sustainability Grand Challenges of our Master Global Business & Sustainability. What makes the simulation so valuable is that it is not just another teaching activity in the programme, but a realistic and truly immersive experience of the dilemmas and opportunities inherent to stakeholder management. Our yearly session is smoothly facilitated by Prendo and students can immediately use the insights gained as input for the grand challenge they are studying in the course.”
