Client Testimonials

For more than a decade the employees of Edventures have been creating customized learning tools for major global organizations. Our tailor-made Edventure Maps have become an integral component of the “change process.” The success of our tools has been witnessed by thousands of employees across the globe.


“Given the complexity of cultural, operational and technical change, getting people aligned is critical. Talking about these issues and not helping them visualize the changes makes things significantly more difficult. The visual created by Edventures helped us as adults understand what’s important, why it’s happening and the alternatives. People came away with a clear picture. This ability resulted in us having half the battle won in terms of employee engagement. They got the context of the transition.”

President, Fortune 100 Company


“I found the entire Edventures process fascinating. They are expert at taking strategies from a conceptual level to a visual tool. They listened to what we wanted to communicate to the entire organization and then wove that communication into a teaching aid. I think the process of working with the Edventures team was as productive as the actual delivery to the company. It forced us to clearly define the vision we wanted everyone in the company aligned around. It also required us to take knowledge that we as managers instinctively know and put it into words and pictures others can understand. The end result of the Edventures experience was to put everyone in the company on the same page.”

EVP/Strategic Projects, Fortune 100 Company


“One of the most important components of effectively making change within an organization rests on the organization’s ability to communicate the basis and need for the change. If you can get employees to understand the “why”, the “how” is typically much easier to accomplish. Edventures, through their maps, did a wonderful job helping our employees to look at the business and our organization from a much more global, industry standpoint, which is difficult considering that most work at a fairly specific task or on a much more granular level. This process gave foundation to the “why” we needed to make both technological and organizational change. It created a level of buy-in that allowed the organization to move through the needed change with the least disruption.

While we are not finished with our change effort, so far, it has been much easier than anticipated and we thank Edventures for their outstanding mapping process and their valuable assistance in our change preparation.”

COO, Fortune 100 Company


“I’ve now worked with Edventures on 4 ‘maps’ for our business. It is amazing to watch their process. It’s so simple, yet tremendously effective. It’s amazing to watch the transformation from a simple conversation to a visual that engages and motivates people. It forces the leadership to get very clear about the communication and the vision which is a plus in and of itself.”

HR VP, Fortune 100 Company


“I have personally facilitated many of the sessions, so I get to see how the end product is viewed. Our evaluations are always very high - love the visual, the small-group learning, and the interaction. It’s a great tool for any industry interested in communicating change, transformation or even just to explain the current state. I just think they’re great.”

HR Director, Fortune 100 Company


"Our nuclear power plant contracted with Edventures to produce a learning tool that could be used to present the Corrective Action Program to employees. The goal was to bring everyone to a consistent level of knowledge of the process. Edventures produced a learning map that met that objective. Edventures worked with our Performance Improvement Unit (PIU), including pilot sessions and facilitator training to prepare a product that delivered excellent results.  Edventures was very easy to work with and their knowledge and skills transformed the PIU staffs’ vision into a first-class product. The maps were well received by the employees. The sessions generated good interaction; which in turn gave participants an excellent learning opportunity with many takeaways. We were very satisfied with Edventures and their employees’ knowledge and professionalism. We would recommend that anyone looking to communicate to and train their workforce consider Edventures."

"I've experienced the Edventure Map process more than 75 times personally and my district has held more than 150 sessions. Clearly, more than any other tool I have ever used, this has helped parents, staff and community understand the need for change and improvement - and has done it better and faster than any other tool I have ever used."

School Superintendent


"I'm more than impressed - I'm excited about the process! The power of the Edventure Map modules is that they get people to a very high level of discussion and keep them there for a long time. People who don't understand educational issues come away with a need to take steps for change. I wouldn't have thought that was possible through such a short experience."

School Superintendent


"The workshops at Torness have gone really well with very positive feedback from the participants. The facilitators are reporting that the map tool is very successful and that has been reinforced by the training feedback sheet scores for that session of the workshops (almost al 5's and 6's on a rating from 1 to 6).
