The Leverage Quadrant Sample profile

Drag a capability in any direction, and watch your consulting system emerge.

Used by professionals working at

While you keep working hard, the outcome is not changing

The promotion

You are told to "focus on presence" or "be more commercial", so you work hard on that plan. But you still don't know the specific behaviors you must address and you waste one more cycle.

The client

You do a brilliant job at analyzing data and crafting a narrative. However, you don't address the right people, so one more month goes by without you reaping the benefits of your efforts.

The fees

You are great at managing clients, then give the price away or never put a number on the value you bring. The year ends on the same rate you started with: you missed an opportunity.

Your last quarter of effort went into whatever you were told to improve.
Instead, it should have gone into the one thing that would have changed the outcome.
You didn't know what that was, but now we got you.

You cannot fix what you cannot measure

If you are thinking, "Yeah, I've heard this before... More presence, better politics, clearer slides, etc etc", stop there.

Consulting Edge is about measurement, not platitudes. The final output is the Edge Report, specifically applicable to you and your challenges, built from your profile.

What you will get:

A personalized Edge: your situation in plain language, what's working for you, what's not, and why.

Six capability scores across the fundamental dimensions of consulting excellence.

The Leverage Quadrant: your propelling skills, the constraints, and what to fix first.

Strengths and exposure points per capability grounded in your behaviors, not generic advice.

A short-horizon plan: what to do this week and over the next four weeks.

A 90-day focus: milestones and 'Done when' criteria so progress is observable.

The Edge Report

Here's a cut-down SAMPLE extract of the report you will receive. This is NOT the full document.

Report cover: Your Edge Revealed.
1 / 8

How the report is made

First, you answer an introspective survey: Consulting Edge is built on structured consulting scenarios, 5-point Likert scales, and reconstructed work episodes.
You already have a story about your strengths. So do your manager. So do your clients.
The report we craft based on your survey does not stop at that story, because that's not enough.

01

How often

You answer scaled Likert-type questions, tied to whether you still demonstrate the behavior when the situation gets harder to manage.

02

What you would do

You work on scenarios, with tradeoffs to be evaluated, and explanations you must provide to defend the choices you made.

03

What you did

You reconstruct recent episodes from your own work, reflecting on what was happening, what you did and what came of it.

The survey questions cover the six capabilities of professional excellence: Framing, Presence, Stakeholder Algebra, Synthesis & Story, Leverage & IP, and Commercial Acumen.

How we prioritize

Scores alone are only a snapshot. The Leverage Quadrant reads them as a system, so you don't keep wasting time and money investing in the wrong skills.

Trapped

A trapped strength is real, but something else is in the way. Working it harder does not unlock it.

Compounding

A compounding strength is already doing its job. More effort there feels useful, but little changes.

Bottleneck

The bottleneck is the first move to take. It is often not your lowest score.

Clean gap

A clean gap is weak but it is not what is holding the rest back, so it can wait.

Stronger toward the topFreer to manifest toward the right

How we keep scores trustworthy

We follow a rigorous methodology refined with consulting practitioners, HR leaders and assessment experts. We check consistency so your Edge Report reflects actual patterns in how you work, rather than one-off quiz moods like other less accurate tools in the market.

How to use your action plans

Start with the capability the Quadrant says to fix first. Apply the actions this week on real work, then use the next four weeks to install the habit. Finally, treat the 90-day focus as your proof window.

  1. This week

    One clear move, applied on work you already have.

  2. Four weeks

    You repeat it until it becomes how you intrinsically operate.

  3. Ninety days

    Test against 'done-when' criteria, so you know you are there.

How you stack versus others

A number on its own is a compliment or an insult. We include a comparison to other professionals so your scores have a reference point. We remove opinions to give you evidence you can use immediately to progress.

The leverage quadrant visual alone was worth 10x what I paid. Already executing the week-1 play for a meeting tomorrow.

Message: I framed all the examples from your report. It is really a compass.

I framed all the examples from your report. You probably think I am overhyping that report, but it is really a compass.

Senior Manager, large bank, Canada
Message about the scenarios and the quadrants in the report.

I really like the journey to that report site where we looked at those scenarios. That helped me uncover a few things I didn't exercise as well. On the report, those specific quadrants were very relevant.

Senior Manager, Accenture Strategy, India
Messages: this is a magical work, like a holy guide book.

This is such a magical work. It's like a holy guide book.

Note: you exceeded my expectations.

I tend to grade people as either you met my expectations or you didn't, and very rarely do people surpass my expectations. So you exceeded my expectations.

Maurizio Cuna

A methodology born in the field

Consulting Edge is built on a method originated with Maurizio Cuna, a consulting partner with twenty years of experience across Europe, the US, Asia, and Australia. Early in his career he hit the wall most consultants know: hard work, vague feedback, and no clear answer to what was actually holding him back.

Developed to make the invisible capabilities of work measurable, the methodology has since been improved and stress-tested by organizational psychologists, HR leaders, and senior consultants.

Maurizio is a consulting partner, start-up advisor, best-selling author of "Beyond Slides", and writer of the popular newsletter "Consulting Intel".

Frequently Asked Questions

No. A personality test tells you what you are like. Consulting Edge asks what you do when your work is on the line, measuring observable behaviors that correlate with professional success, not personality traits.

No. The scores, the Quadrant, the comparison, and the actions are calculated by a deterministic methodology. AI plays one narrow role: turning your results into readable prose.

Generic content could apply to anyone. Your Edge Report will show your specific bottleneck, explain how it's suppressing capabilities you already have, and give you an actionable plan with observable completion criteria.

Consulting Edge is uniquely designed to help. Your Edge Report identifies specific behavioral gaps that often prevent promotions. Through it, we provide actionable insights to address blind spots that do not always surface through other methods. You still need to do the work though, it's not magic!

The assessment can take up to 1 hour to complete. Your progress is saved as you go, so you can pause at any point and come back later. The assessment will have you think and introspect: answer honestly, so that your Edge Report is a precise snapshot of your current capabilities. Once you submit, your Edge Report will be in your inbox within 24 hours.

The diagnostic measures behaviors, not "vibes". If results don't align with your self-perception, that itself is valuable data worth exploring in your development journey.

Yes. The six capabilities measured apply even if you are running your own practice. For independents, the Edge Report doubles as a tool to sharpen market positioning and client delivery.

Often yes! Many consultants expense Consulting Edge as professional development or L&D training, however note that policies may differ by country.

If you are inside a firm, please check with your manager, HR, or finance team first. At checkout you can opt in for a ready-to-use reimbursement letter for HR or your manager, so you can request the expense back.

If you are independent, some people treat tools like this as a business or professional development cost. Confirm with your accountant or tax advisor, since we do not provide tax advice.

Absolutely. Your responses are confidential and used only to generate your report and update internal benchmarks. We will never share or sell your data.

You are covered. If the report doesn't give you a clear first move and a plan you can use, email info@getconsultingedge.com within 7 days of delivery and we'll reimburse you in full. We built Consulting Edge to be useful: if it doesn't help you, you shouldn't pay for it.

Many consultants start with the report and then add a call to accelerate their growth further. There, an expert partner will work closely with you focusing on one clear goal: your progress.
