PoleStar ITSM from G2G3 is energetic and fun way to accelerate understanding, involvement, and acceptance of ITSM and ITIL best practice in any organization. Facilitated in a familiar high technology scenario, PoleStar ITSM brings to life the behavioral and process issues faced by IT organizations. This unique experiential learning approach causes breakthrough understanding of ITSM and ITIL best practice and transforms learning into an engaging, fun, and highly memorable shared experience.
 
PoleStar PM is an equally exciting simulation, using experiential learning to recreate the Project and Portfolio Management issues faced by many organizations through gaming dynamics. Participation in this simulation creates breakthrough understanding of the importance of communication and best practice project management techniques in the delivery of successful IT projects.
