How
Like you, our brand is built upon our integrity and reputation, and that is built on getting the job done beyond your expectations.
Teamwork
Putting the whole of The Edge before its individual parts, Wayne, Chris and Stuart work collaboratively. They peer review each other’s work and/or draw upon other expert advisers or consultants for tasks requiring specific skills they may not have in order to give you the best results.
Our experience has proven time and again that no one can grow a business alone. Successful business owners surround themselves with great people. That is one of the reasons why we at The Edge collaborate on each client or project.
To ensure our clients get the best result, we will consult with a colleague with specific expertise, or other professional advisers such as accountants, lawyers, or valuers when necessary. Although we know a lot, we don’t know it all! This means that someone has always got your back in case the lead Principal does not have the expertise.
Delivery
The Edge provides number of delivery methodologies to suit your needs;
Advisory
Consulting
Mentoring
Governance
Managing conflict
Whatever the method, partnership and collaboration is key. As advisers, directors, coaches and mentors we will guide you and your team.
As consultants we can help you with business plans, financial modelling, funding applications, and other specific projects. Any of the team can advise, consult, coach or mentor-and can be all four at once! We’ve all been there.
Where
Local, global and online
It doesn’t matter if you are in New Zealand, or international. We can help you.
In Person
Collaborating in person has been the traditional and preferred form of engagement. If you are in the greater Wellington region we can work with you in person.
Online
Times have changed remarkably enabling remote work through multiple online platforms. Working online means that we can work with our clients when and where they need us often meaning immediate solutions, and savings of time and money.
When
Well, Now!
Business owners are facing more challenges now than ever. The business landscape is changing on what seems like a daily basis. Evolving technologies in production and distribution, globalised markets-now backtracking, constantly moving regulatory and compliance requirements, competition for employee talent and increased employee litigation are just a few of the hurdles that you may be facing in your business right now.
At times it probably seems like that there is too much to keep track of - there is, and you wouldn’t be alone.
Call us if you’re considering starting up, reviewing your business model, expansion, opening a new location, considering funding options; implementing new software systems or technologies; planning a major reorganisation or restructuring in your company.
Do you want to explore options, undertake some what if scenarios, financial modelling; accelerate a project or simply wanting a fresh perspective? Every business will doing at least one of the above, so NOW is a great time. It costs nothing to call and have an initial consult.
Pricing
Our aim is to create VALUE for your business and our pricing will generally be value based or fixed cost, rather than by hourly rate.
We believe charging an hourly rate can hamper productivity and excellence. We’d rather you focus on what we are achieving -not what we are spending our time on. It is about efficiency, expediency, value to you.
However we understand that no business is the same. Needs, resources and capacity are different and we may be doing you a disservice offering a one size fits all package. We’ll determine with you what is appropriate to your circumstances.
Financial assistance may be available for our services through one of the government funds, see here.
We both need to see if we can work together, determine your needs and what value we can add. If we think we can't add value, we’ll tell you so and respectfully back out.
