TESTIMONIALS

"Nicole led our four-day session with a warmth, passion, and energy that resonated extremely well with our diverse group of humanitarian and development professionals. The global café process enabled colleagues from a variety of cultures and backgrounds to engage with one another comfortably and intimately. Nicole has a true talent for facilitating discussion and drawing out ideas in an inclusive, productive manner, and for reinterpreting these wide-ranging dialogues as accurate and actionable summaries.

I would wholeheartedly recommend Nicole to anyone seeking an interactive and free-flowing forum to analyze and move forward organizational goals, needs, and operations."

"Working with Adaptive Edge was truly what a collaborative experience should look like. Nicole and her staff were insightful, professional, and extraordinarily quick to ‘get’ our world. Their ability to be both intellectually rigorous and creative, professional and out-of-the-box, is truly a rare find. In the end, the combination of smart questions, strategic analysis and dynamic facilitation allowed us to productively wrestle with complex factors and uncertainties, and to generate scenarios about the future that proved extremely valuable to all involved."

"Nicole helped us evaluate, stimulate and develop two Design academics' potential to deliver radical, high-quality innovation consultancy. Her experience, professionalism and grasp of innovation frameworks proved invaluable in refining academic material into market-focused thought leadership. Nicole's ability to operate in the heady intellectual atmosphere created by our professors while keeping us grounded and cognizant of real-world applications and constraints strongly influenced the development of our Prospecting and Innovation Unit in Design. This Unit is a focus for consultancy, collaborative and contract research and various commercially-focused activities in Goldsmiths' Design Department, and without Nicole's facilitative help, the Unit would likely have emerged significantly later than it has. We're very grateful for her work, and given the opportunity, would engage her again without reservation. I cannot recommend her highly enough."

"It’s been such a privilege to have worked with Nicole-Anne Boyer of Adaptive Edge— who is really the Learning Journey expert. We learnt so much... most of all about the presence of mind and the heart that’s required in the balancing of provocation with gentle guidance, of surprise within a tightly scheduled itinerary, of energy with silent presence, of taking them to the edge of chaos and allowing them to guide themselves back gently, of experiencing groundedness with visions of the future. Thank you Nicole!"
