Brian Daly, Nike

“Moves The Needle runs an intense, 10% theory and 90% learn-through-doing program. I highly recommend them to any enterprise that feels projects get stuck, burn cash, and don’t deliver results (i.e., every enterprise).”

Christoph Landowski, Roche Diagnostics

“Really astonished and impressed that we are already looking at technical details as well as the big picture in just 90 days. This goes hand in hand with our strategy and will help us overcome cultural hurdles.”

Geeta Wilson, Humana

“We used MTN’s lean innovation to shift away from large interventions, and toward faster ways to change the customer experience. Now we have a framework for building discipline into the way we experiment.”

Gerrit Stoelinga, ING

“Working with Moves The Needle will innovate your mindset.”

Andries Oudshoorn, Schibsted

“The teams really developed and tested their ideas in market in a very convincing way. I was very impressed with that. This really makes me believe they will be able to use it in their day to day lives because they have done it now.”

Aaron Yount, 7-11

Moves The Needle coaches were incredible and broke down what initially were very foreign (and scary) concepts for me. I lead a traditional franchise business unit, and they have opened my eyes to new ways of solving problems and providing value to my customers.”
