* Sorry not for ipads – processor too slow. We advise you use a high spec processor and a larger from factor. Small screens are very un-empowering in digitally Enhanced Reality environments

We have had significant penetration testing done by some of the largest financial institutions and corporations in the world and have passed. I would say that this puts us in the upper categories of safeness but still below top secret grade.

QUBE has to be experienced to be believed!!

Erica Hurley Warwick Business School

The way QUBE is designed makes the learning more effective.

Leonardo Teixeira Cata Vento Innova Brazil

I’ve begun using the Hope&Fears. I use the idea of project chunking to relieve customer fears and mitigate high risk associated with S-curves. I use the WAM (World After Midnight) story every day to illuminate the need for adaptation. I’ve even changed how and what I’m learning about because of these sessions. I can’t wait for the next class:) Thanks for inspiring.

Eddie is fab!

Colin Burns IDEO

[Eddie Obeng] An agent provocateur. 'Making it happen' is Obeng’s constant refrain and his books are an antidote to the dryness of much managerial theorising. They come complete with their lessons in fictional form and implementation techniques such as rat-holing, blowing bubbles and the sticky steps approach to planning. Old world they are not.

Imagine having a way to instantly 'beam you up' to join colleagues anywhere in the world, to learn and work together as naturally as you would face-to-face. That’s QUBE!

David Lomas CTO Pentacle Ltd

Very easy to manoeuvre and learn how to use.

Dow Wolff Cellulosics

I found the experience, extraordinary. I think it is a credible alternative to physical events of this kind.

Jonathan Norman Gower Publishing

The O2 New World Projects courses achieved the overall goal of injecting some fresh thinking and new possibilities into our project community. We’ve seen increases in performance, confidence, capability and motivation across the project managers. We’ve reached the point where the New World techniques, PETs and language are common currency among the project and programme managers and they are spreading the techniques across the organisation.

How do you get people to brainstorm together at a whiteboard when they are not together? You can’t do it on a video conference, on Skype, Livemeeting, Lync or even through webex

Fantastic first experience with using QUBE and interacting (my fears are gone!), great opportunties to meet people and learn from others.

Isabelle Bellesort Nippon Sheet Glass - Pilkington

Thanks for the honour of addressing the Virtual Business School, the effect is strangely similar to meeting people and once you get the hang of the environment and the technology it works really well

Sebastian Conran

‘QUBE made the 'conference calls' more personal’ – ‘Creates the feeling to be in a real place together with the other participants’

Sales Directors Dow-Wolff Cellulosics

Definitely a very good tool to create a valuable business environment

QUBE is so effective it could eliminate air miles from our lives.

Luca Franchi Electrolux

You very quickly get used to moving around, and it's easy to walk to somebody to network with them.
Things like the flashing lights and dragging everybody back are better than real life.

Gary Noel Medtronic

QUBE is very cool. It's easy to strike up a conversation with someone on the other side of the world.

Gary Noel Gary Noel

It will be possible in that age, perhaps only 50 yrs from now, for a man to conduct his business from Haiti or Bali just as easily as he could from London.

Arthur C Clarke

Absolutely, it's a really engaging tool

Graham Harrison

QUBE has great three-dimensional sound quality. You'll know instinctively who is speaking to you wherever they are in the qubicle..

QUBE is easy to install...

Once you have your entry pass you can experience digitally Enhanced Reality on QUBE...

Imagine turning up at a meeting and having to ask, 'How do I walk?' or 'How do I write a sticky note?' Or 'How do I have a private conversation with you?'. Well, that's what will happen to you if you skip orientation. And it will slow down and frustrate everyone else. A final incentive is that you'll find out how to put your picture on your qubot.

I was new to QUBE but was invited to a QUBE qall at the last minute. I joined my colleagues to learn and work productively within minutes.

We needed a better and different way to truly engage people globally to deliver in a new way

Elisabetta Galli Global HR Director, WoltersKluwer

... a highly unusual school

Kate Torgovnick May TED

Media can help solve business challenges and innovation is at the heart of that

Thomas Le Theirry CEO Vizeum

The business environment puts pressure on everyone and we need to help by ensuring that it’s easy to do business with us – even fun

Ronan Dunne CEO Telefonica O2

I think I really started to understand the Performance Enhancement Tools (PETs) when three people from different companies and parts of the world joined us on QUBE and explained how they had used the PETs in their projects.

Sacha Sedriks Creative Director, BBC

I called the QUBE room (qubicle ) we met, learnt and worked in "The Potting Shed" It was there that, as a team, we planted and nurtured the seeds of innovation

Dr Tammy Watchorn NHS National Services Scotland

Have now installed #QUBEv3- very exciting!

Rachel Garvey NHS Birmingham UK

Learn to make what we do collaboratively together, a hundred times better!

Eddie Obeng Learning Director Pentacle

Fascinating session with a global attendance; Ken Banks @Kiwanja on #QUBEim15 @QUBEcc

Steve mahaley Duke Corporate Education

I never thought that a few lines, dots and circles would make such a big difference. Vanessa's teaching on QUBE, of the drawing of simple everyday objects was absolutely brilliant!

Ani Kaprekar Facilitator and Story-teller - Coach Banyan Tree Answers

Yesterday we launched our Digital Leadership Programme, the exciting part is we did it Digitally. 50 people from America, Canada, Germany, Sweden, France, Scotland and the UK. Nobody travelled, there was no jet lag, people spent night at home and we helped save some money and the environment

Craig Wallace Digital Transformation Global Practice Lead, CGI

We have been reviewed by the Federal Reserve Bank in New York and were allowed to have our software installed internally. We have been used by every branch of the military (except the Marines). I would say that this puts us in the upper categories of safeness but still below top secret grade.

Ron Teitelbaum CEO 3DICC

I wanted to thank you for keeping an open-door to the monthly virtual business school. I was about to say “I can’t tell you how often I use the things I learn in your class” but, that’s a lie. The truth is I use the things I’ve learnt every single day.
