Clients Sing Our Praises

Bridging Cultures

“We’re a worldwide company, so being able to deliver a compelling, consistent message no matter what country we’re in is hugely important. The program One World Music (OWM) for us — Brand Harmony — was a perfect way to bring 2,100 people together to create harmony in a franchise environment. We plan to continue our partnership with OWM, working across cultures and languages to synchronize our large, global team.”

“One World Music is perfectly suited to help global companies in navigating through persistent and intractable culture integration issues after a reorganization, merger or acquisition. They create a visceral sense of unity and coherence that words alone can not. And they possess an uncanny ability to engage cynical hardliners, who are usually resistant to change, due in part to the accuracy of their linkages between the ensemble building experience and an organization’s envisioned future.”

Customizing Solutions

“The people at One World Music have incredibly high standards and really did their homework compared to other teambuilding vendors we've seen. By taking the time to understand our issues, customize to our needs, and incorporate our lingo, they gave us much more than some basic, cookie-cutter program. Their careful pre-assessment process resulted in a truly customized event.”

“The thing that sets One World Music apart is how thoroughly they get to know your organization. They really put themselves in our shoes to understand what our business is about. They stayed in our hotels, saw what our guests see, got to know us from our teammates’ point of view, and came to understand our vision, mission, and culture — the DNA of what we are about.”

"We have hired many experiential providers before, but none quite like One World Music. What sets Gary Muszynski and his team apart is the extraordinary quality of program delivery and audience interaction, the level of customization, and the follow through. One World Music took the time to truly understand our culture, sat in on all of the keynotes, and interviewed people before our meeting. Linkages between music and our business were made skillfully from start to finish with outstanding results.”

"One World Music's needs assessment process was an entire organizational intervention in and of itself.

Exploring Music as a Leadership Metaphor

“Jazz is the ideal metaphor for how organizations need to operate in the 21st century, and One World Music (OWM) captures that spirit perfectly. To excel in this new era, our 20-year-old business must evolve from a hierarchical institution into one that empowers people as partners, orchestrating rather than controlling individual voices and talents. OWM’s “Leadership Jazz” has inspired us on our journey as we explore and co-discover new organizational forms.”

"One World Music's lessons are universal. We learned that you have to rely on others to be successful, and that you have to imagine the impossible."

"One World Music demonstrates that making music as an ensemble provides a powerful analogy for instilling leadership and teamwork in business. Whether you're setting goals and metrics, managing performance, practicing, for advancing individuals within an organization, creating great business results is a lot like creating great music - you need strong soloists, creative improvisation, and excellent back-up."

Bringing People Together

“We were a pretty demanding corporate client. Our event had to be minutely choreographed because we knew if we didn't capture our audience in the first 30 seconds, people would walk out. But One World Music was responsive, helpful, and created a program that fulfilled our vision perfectly.”

"One World Music brings advantage of scale to its programs. Few presenters can engage a large group so quickly, infuse participants with energy, and stay on the message that we've come together to create a high-performing organization."

"We brought in One World Music to kick off a business conference of100 people from two merged organizations. The program opened people's hearts and perfectly captured the themes that we wanted to emphasize.

One World Music will be a huge asset to any company seeking greater integration, team effectiveness, and organizational synergy.”
