See where The World of Difference is already at work

In hotels, in retail, on a football pitch and in a lecture hall. Different sectors, different questions, and every time the same thing happens: people start talking about behaviour differently. Find the story closest to your own situation.

The strength of MapsTell is that you let people literally step into The World of Difference. Instead of thick reports they get something visual, playful and tangible.

WHAT THESE STORIES SHARE

The question is always human, never methodological

A housekeeper, a store manager, an eighteen-year-old footballer and a trainee teacher. They have little in common, except this: none of them is waiting for a thick report about themselves.

What they do want to know is why things run smoothly with one person and awkwardly with another, and what they can do about it themselves. None of the organisations on this page was looking for another measurement. They were looking for a way to get that conversation going with people who would not start it on their own.

CURIOUS WHAT THIS LOOKS LIKE FOR YOU?

There are two ways to start

If you want a session or a programme facilitated, we put you in touch with a Guide who fits your group, your language and your sector. If behaviour is a structural part of your work, becoming a Guide yourself is often more logical, as it was at Hans Anders.

FAQ

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.
