“I am honoured to have participated in such a worthwhile meeting in Berlin, which brought together leaders from civil society, academia, politics, media and other sectors to address our global challenges. I would like to thank the organizers, and especially His Royal Highness Prince El Hassan bin Talal, for hosting this thought provoking meeting and encouraging global dialogue. Personally and as a representative of the United Nations, I strongly believe in the ideals of the Global Marshall Plan and hope that the action plan will be aligned to the global UN priorities and principles so that our efforts mutually reinforce each other. In this regard, I am pleased that meeting the Millennium Development Goals, promoting sustainable development, and protecting the environment are central tenants in this effort.  For global governance to be effective, it should be approached through participatory mechanisms that facilitate the contribution by world citizens of all levels and age, and I am pleased that the Global Marshall Plan initiative has endorsed such a multi-stakeholder approach. Youth should be an integral part of the global discussion leading to an action plan, since they will be called upon to implement such a plan.”

“I would like to thank you for the presentation, “Value World Tourism – the Salzkammergut Brand.“ Your cooperation with our enterprise was extremely professional. The clarity of the messages and the very high hit ratio for existing potential impressed the participants. The technique, nextexpertizer, combines qualitative data collection with quantitative analysis in an ideal way.”

"On behalf of the board and members of the executive of the Euler Hermes Kreditversicherungs-AG, I would like to thank you and your team for designing and accompanying our online workshop with nextmoderator in Bad Segeberg on the 17th and 18th of June 2005. This, for us, entirely brainstorming method was positively received by the participants and created the desired dynamics and creativity."

"Professor Kruse with his company nextpractice has, for several years, successfully accompanied strategic processes in our group of companies. As scientific advisor of the Otto Group Academy, he gave important impulses. His understanding of complex contexts is just as impressive as his untiring personal engagement. " We have profitably implemented the services and methods of the Bremen business consultancy nextpractice again and again. The professionalism and creativity of the nextpractice team is convincing. Especially the deployment of the nextpractice tools is in many respects advisable."

"After a 27-hour return to California and 12 hours of sleep, I am beginning to readjust after the incredible conference we all attended in Berlin. It stretched me in many ways, changing my life in the long-term. The activities you designed for us on Wednesday afternoon were especially challenging--much like the task we have undertaken!”

"With your insight, you addressed a clear message to our organisation. I would therefore like to express my sincere thanks."

"In the case of similar issues, I would recommend to other units the implementation of the nextexpertizer analysis method. Compared to other procedures, such as deep analysis and structured surveys, this method is a real alternative."
_{This is a translated testimonial.}

"The results achieved in our own company with nextexpertizer and nextmoderator were extremely useful in our strategic development and clearly helped us to go forward."
_{This is a translated testimonial.}

"An excellent way of concentrating on the strategic issues."

"I take personal encouragement from the nextpractice team in Bremen. Change-Management expert Professor Dr. Peter Kruse?s team are in the process of testing an utterly new idea in the world of politics, an idea that allows problem solutions which are completely independent of the structures of power. That gives me encouragement!"
_{This is a translated testimonial.}

"Within the framework of an internal development process, we deployed the moderation tool nextmoderator in a workshop with over 100 participants. I was extremely impressed by the way nextexpertizer produced such tangible results in so short a time with such a large group. The open networking encouraged the participants to tackle the issues intensively and to committedly involve themselves with ideas and opinions. The efficiency and candour of nextexpertizer is unique."
_{This is a translated testimonial.}

"I would like to sincerely thank you again for your contribution to the success of our organisation's 'Annual Sales Conference'. Thanks to the nextmoderator tools, the workshop assignments were structured effectively.

"The Business Unit Deutschland was networked using more than 80 Laptop computers into one great BUD brain. BUD employees created more than 600 ideas which were also assessed by all participants. The brainstorming with the Kruse team produced viable and significant results that will definitely be further pursued."
_{This is a translated testimonial.}

"It is becoming more and more important to involve company employees in the development of ideas and opinion forming processes at an early stage. All too often, this fails because of the process itself, which is often felt to be too time consuming and, possibly, not targeted enough. This is where nextmoderator from nextpractice opens up totally new possibilities. We deployed the technique and method in completely different events and were repeatedly surprised by the amount of engagement and idea potential that can be rapidly released and converted into a tangible catalogue of measures and projects, irrespective of the number of participants, which can be up to several hundred. Simply recommendable!"
_{This is a translated testimonial.}

"The data raised using nextexpertizer provided extremely valuable information during the integration process of a merger. It helped us improve eminently important communications. The implementation of nextexpertizer was also a valuable aid to consultants in analysing competence. I can highly recommend nextexpertizer for issues of culture, leadership and company development"
_{This is a translated testimonial.}

"I find this method in equal measure groundbreaking and ingenious. First of all, it achieves expressive results by the use of specific aggregates based on common denominators. It also ultimately forces individuals to bring themselves to make decisions and take stands without just stopping there, but equally think about how to put life into them. It's not possible to say: Now we've clearly analysed it we can all lie down again. The method builds up enormous pressure to also specifically search for problem solutions."
_{This is a translated testimonial.}

"Downright splendid. An amazing method of involving people in discussions who, in part, don't even know each other and of obtaining fast results from them all. This method prevents 90% of the plenum from dosing off while 10% take part in the discussion, very often the 10% to whom one doesn't listen anyway, and so the 90% gradually increases. This type of procedure is really great, I have never experienced anything like it before. Something happens in the mind and you then realize that it really works. Thus the method is already part of the journey."
_{This is a translated testimonial.}

"I've taken part in many events which can only be called palaver shops, this was the exact opposite. Everyone concentrated on the work, held motivating discussions in the working groups and entered the best ideas into the laptops. The feedback could be readily followed. For us politicians especially, this is virgin soil, normally our ideas are only evaluated every four years.

"What particularly impressed the judges in this implementation, was the fact that the individual intelligence of 500 employees was bundled together, supported by a system, into a kind of in-house consulting. Embedded in complementary event modules and in hands-on group experiences, the creation of network intelligence in the form of an online workshop represents an event innovation that was the deciding criterion for the judges decision."

"With Peter´s guidance, the 45 participants discussed the possibilities of enhancing the exploitation of in-company synergy effects and implementing intensive decentralized networking. The discussion led to the establishment of six decentralized networks. (...) Based on the results of a survey among the participants of [this] CEO meeting in London, and enriched by the results of a brainstorming session in Barcelona, seven core values were identified."

"The Business Unit Deutschland has been networked using more than 80 laptop computers into one great BUD brain.
