About Us

Culture is the defining factor of any organization’s success or failure.

Here at EDGE we’re dedicated to the success of our clients; we succeed when you do. In fact, the foundation of our company rests on knowing we have something highly valuable to offer: an opportunity to make your business and your people soar.

We began our business with one question in mind: how do we generate and bring to life this idea of sustainable excellence? When trying to solve an organizational problem, people often try to implement solutions on their employees, rather than with their employees. This creates a rigid divide between a company and its employees, which inevitably leads you right back to where you started.

Why EDGE

You probably know what needs to be done, but you don’t know how to make it happen. We help you design and implement the solution, and then we continue to help fine-tune it if needed.

We work with you and your people to design the organization’s system rather than requiring employees to follow a predefined, uniform system.

We help you create a more thorough recruiting process that ensures each new hire has a place within the culture we’ve developed together.

When you’re too close to something, it’s difficult to gain an objective view of the bigger picture. That’s where we come in.
