TIMEFRAME AND COST

A complex analysis has been refined into a relatively simple process that is both efficient and effective. The bulk of the work is done by Edge rather than the company and in a way that consumes very little senior management time. Edge’s experience in this area is reflected in both the speed with which analysis can be completed and the cost of the program.

The process has a clear timetable and scope of operation, includes an implementation methodology driven by Edge and is offered at a fixed cost with a performance guarantee.

• Analysis takes three days on-site, and requires very little senior management time.

• Fieldwork can usually be completed in a 30-day timeframe without disrupting company operations.

• Development and finalization of the action plan to be presented to the management team takes a further 15 days.

• Edge attends meetings quarterly for twelve months to monitor the information gathering process.

• The fee structure depends upon the complexity of the information gathering, and is established at the initial orientation meeting. It is usually in the range of $7,500 to $15,000.

• If the implementation of agreed recommendations does not cover the cost of the Strategic Edge within a twelve-month period, then the difference will be returned to the company.

This process not only delivers a written strategic plan but also turns your people into an effective data collection force that is doing their jobs and reporting feedback so that you have a solid information base to help focus on strategic issues for years to come.

Success in the form of increased revenues, reduced costs or increased profits is guaranteed in a 12-month timeframe – or the out of pocket cost will be refunded.
