We help leaders and teams achieve their greatest potential in demanding environments. We are deeply committed to the success of our clients, and we build long-term relationships that enable us to understand the culture and business challenges of the organizations we serve. We believe that our values, our unique approach, and our experience gives us a truly unique capability. Over the past two decades, we have studied leaders and teams facing conditions of extreme challenge — the limits of human endurance — a place we call The Edge. From our research on these groups, we have identified principles and tools that can be applied in any challenging environment. Through our study of The Edge, we have drawn lessons that will enable leaders and teams to reach their greatest potential. This concept of The Edge permeates our work and shapes our view of the world. It is reflected in our use of Metaventure: stories of adventure and survival that provide metaphors, or case studies, for exploring success at The Edge. And it is embedded in our programs and services, all of which have one thing in common: they are grounded in the experiences of leaders and teams that have overcome the most daunting obstacles imaginable. We have applied these lessons to organizations encountering a wide range of contemporary challenges. Using specific strategies for success that we’ve identified from our extensive research, we have helped leaders and teams faced with fierce competition, pressures for innovation, economic uncertainty, the threat of terrorism, and demands for cultural change.
