Why Venture Up?

EXPERIENCE

After nearly 30 years in business, Venture Up founders wish to thank the hundreds of clients and the more than 250,000 participants who paved our path...

In 1983 we went from becoming America's first team building company, to the nation's largest team building company, with more than 250,000 participants. We work with people of all shapes, sizes and cultural backgrounds; and offer programs in several languages.

CLIENTS

About 80 percent of our business involves corporate clients, who prove that word of mouth is the greatest advertising. We also work with many government and non-profit groups, such as schools, charities, and government agencies, including the FBI, U.S. Secret Service and U.S. Special Forces. Many of our corporate clients are also winners of the J. D. Power & Associates Quality Award -- and J. D. Power & Associates itself is also on our client list. Venture Up also has a long-standing track record working on the inside of many of the world's leading firms, including the Fortune 100 and 500 and training consulting firms. In terms of client satisfaction, please see our testimonials. Group sizes range from 8 to 1,000 or more.

INNOVATION

With a high percentage of our business generated from repeat clients and referrals, we are driven towards innovation. We're constantly developing new methods and programs to meet the ever-changing needs of our clients, especially in the new economy.

Venture Up has the largest selection of activities available from any one source. We design and build our own props and courses, and provide and maintain all our own equipment. We're a one-stop shop and can save you money by eliminating the middleman in every program.

FLEXIBILITY

Venture Up has the resources and flexibility to travel, providing on-site and off-site programs indoors or outdoors. We use portable activities and may also build on site in the U.S. and beyond.

Philosophy

OVERVIEW

Venture Up has a long-standing track record working on the inside of many of the world's leading firms, serving more than 250,000 clients since we began in 1983. As corporate training technologies began shifting toward integrated learning models, Venture Up was on the forefront as one of the pioneers in corporate experiential learning.

The Venture Up experience integrates cognitive, emotional and physical awareness and perceptions. Our philosophy is rooted in the power of the individual in creating a high performance team and hence a successful organization.

At Venture Up we deal with large and small scale issues affecting organizations of all types and sizes. In motivating people toward optimum performance as team players, Venture Up provides programs to make people more aware of their abilities to effect change.

Our programs are flexible enough to be combined with existing corporate training programs, or may be designed to target clients' objectives. The exercises of a typical program establish trust and create a positive learning environment that enables people of all professional levels to become more creative and innovative in their thinking and problem solving. We aim to remove barriers that blocked them from trying something new and inspire them to look at problems from many points of view.

Programs are designed to be fun and challenging but geared for success. Our goal is to build relationships through positive feedback, recognition and reward. The result: team players leave with an action plan and are willing to try new ideas and look for new solutions back on the job.

Quality Service

Venture Up's focus on quality is here to stay. In an age of global competition, quality service will remain top priorities for successful organizations for many years to come.

We view quality as a vision of doing things right the first time for the ultimate purpose of creating and keeping customers. We adhere to the principles captured by the Harvard Business Review that caution against false goals of many activity-driven quality programs. We believe strongly in the need for measurable long-term results on the job. Anything short of exceeding customers' expectations and impacting organizational performance is activity for activity sake and not part of the quality process.

The success of any organization is dependent on the individual commitment of each employee to a common goal. Research has overwhelmingly demonstrated the need for individuals to feel a sense of ownership and pride in their work.
We work with organizations to help them maximize individual and organizational performance. It is through the accomplishment of common goals, through combined individual talents that teams are forged and true quality is achieved.

VISION

Our vision is a workplace with individuals committed to a common goal contributing their talents with self-motivated initiative, ownership and organizational pride.

MISSION

Our mission is to provide realistic job-related learning experiences which empower individuals to contribute to common goals through effective individual and team behaviors; to work with organizations and individuals to ensure long term change and applications to the job.

RESULTS

Our success is measured by the results of our clients, and is reflected in the quality of our staff. We practice our beliefs.
