I support leaders who want an experienced external perspective as their organisations grow and evolve.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Alongside my executive role, I lecture in Managing People and Organisations on MBA programmes and am currently undertaking doctoral research in healthcare leadership.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n<div style=\"height:100px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-group has-global-padding is-layout-constrained wp-block-group-is-layout-constrained\">\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">My Appoach<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>I work with a small number of organisations at any one time. This allows me to work closely with leaders and provide thoughtful, consistent advisory support.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>My approach is practical and grounded in real organisational experience. I focus on helping leaders step back from day-to-day pressure, understand the underlying dynamics within their organisation and make confident decisions about the future.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n<div style=\"height:100px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">EDGE Philosophy<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-columns is-layout-flex wp-container-core-columns-is-layout-28f84493 wp-block-columns-is-layout-flex\">\n<div class=\"wp-block-column is-layout-flow wp-block-column-is-layout-flow\">\n<div class=\"wp-block-columns is-layout-flex wp-container-core-columns-is-layout-28f84493 wp-block-columns-is-layout-flex\">\n<div class=\"wp-block-column is-layout-flow wp-block-column-is-layout-flow\">\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>Education<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Helping leaders understand the organisational and leadership dynamics shaping their teams.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-column is-layout-flow wp-block-column-is-layout-flow\">\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>Development<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Supporting individuals and teams to build leadership capability and confidence.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-column is-layout-flow wp-block-column-is-layout-flow\">\n<div class=\"wp-block-columns is-layout-flex wp-container-core-columns-is-layout-28f84493 wp-block-columns-is-layout-flex\">\n<div class=\"wp-block-column is-layout-flow wp-block-column-is-layout-flow\">\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>Growth<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Supporting individuals and teams to build leadership capability and confidence.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-column is-layout-flow wp-block-column-is-layout-flow\">\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>Empower<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Helping leaders and teams create environments where people feel confident, capable and trusted to lead.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n<div style=\"height:100px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-group has-global-padding is-layout-constrained wp-block-group-is-layout-constrained\">\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Work With Edge Consultancy<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>EDGE Consultancy works with healthcare organisations through strategic advisory partnerships, leadership mentoring and organisational diagnostic work.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Each engagement is tailored to the organisation, but the focus remains the same: providing clear thinking, trusted advice and practical support to healthcare leaders.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-buttons is-layout-flex wp-block-buttons-is-layout-flex\">\n<div class=\"wp-block-button\"><a class=\"wp-block-button__link wp-element-button\" href=\"mailto:michelle@edgeconsultancy.co.nz\">Get in Touch<\/a><\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n<p><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>EDGE Consultancy is a boutique advisory practice supporting healthcare organisations with strategy, leadership and organisational performance.
