The question is about people, not methodology
A housekeeper, a store manager, an eighteen-year-old footballer and a trainee teacher. They have little in common, except for one thing: none of them wants a lengthy report about themselves.
They want to understand why working with one person feels easy while working with another does not—and what they can do about it themselves. None of the organisations on this page was looking for another assessment. They were looking for a way to start that conversation with people who might not otherwise start it themselves.

Two ways to get started
If you are looking for a facilitated session or programme, we will put you in touch with a Guide who fits your group, language and sector. If behaviour is a structural part of your work, becoming a Guide yourself is often more logical, as it was at Hans Anders.
Frequently asked questions about MapsTell in practice
Below you will find the questions we hear most often, with clear answers.
Which organisations work with MapsTell?
Around 5,000 organisations work with The World of Difference. They include Hilton (with GameChangers), Hans Anders (part of nexeye), football club De Graafschap and High Point University in the United States. Worldwide, 1,000+ certified Guides in 20 countries work with the method.
Is MapsTell only used in teams?
No. At De Graafschap it is used mainly one-to-one, in individual conversations. At Hilton and Hans Anders it sits inside team training and leadership programmes.
Can an organisation certify its own people?
Yes. Hans Anders had five internal trainers certified, which allowed the method to be rolled out in the Netherlands and Belgium and in two languages without bringing someone in for every programme.
Does MapsTell work internationally?
Yes. The products are available in English, Dutch, Spanish, German, French and Italian.
Do I need to be certified myself to work with MapsTell?
Not if you bring in a Guide. If you want to work with participants yourself, certification is needed.
