About Straight Edge Consulting
Our Experience

Our Approach
Our approach is simple - We get a quick tour of your company and then spend about 90 minutes together to discover where your People, Process and desired Performance are out of alignment. Then we write you up a propsal and gameplan for you to review. If you like our proposal, then we partner with you and implement solutions to help get you aligned.
Our approach is unique in that we don't send out consultants with hands in their pockets to interview your team members and gather single threaded information. Instead, we hold a series of "Solution Demonstration Labs" with key decision makers that clearly define where you are out of alignment and we discover what it will take to get "re-aligned". Answers are reached sooner and cost effective solutions are implemented faster with better results.

- We have worked with many brilliant, talented and successful manufacturing and system professionals.
- We have helped dozens of companies solve problems, implement effective solutions and align their people, process and performance so their businesses can grow and thrive.
