That market is still strong, but what's more evident nowadays is that the groups are getting larger. For years, Venture Up has trained Insight Direct staff of all professional levels. The worldwide distributor of computer products recently hired Venture Up to install a team building challenge course at its headquarters in Tempe, Arizona. Insight has expanded operations to England and plans are underway for another in-house Venture Up training program overseas. Successful companies such as Insight recognize that the human element is critically important to profit in the global marketplace, where competition continues to increase and product differentiation is increasingly difficult to sustain.
Customers are loyal to companies who provide quality in products and services.
And a company can best achieve this if staff at all corporate levels work effectively as team players. The 2-story cabin planned near Mt. Elden is more than 5,000 square feet, with 5 fireplaces, a huge vaulted great room for corporate meetings, and expansive decking and balconies on all sides. Completion is scheduled for April 2000. All Venture Up programs are created and provided by in- house permanent staff to ensure consistency and quality. We are, however, hired as sub-contractors by training firms, incentive houses, and destination management companies in the U.S. and Europe to augment training curricula or deliver event programs.
