Consulting Edge
Build sharper consulting discernment, communication, and client-ready thinking.
Consulting Edge measures the six capabilities that drive consulting careers, pinpoints the one blocking yours, and tells you exactly how to fix it.
Six scores. One Leverage Quadrant. A plan for this week, the next month, and 90 days.
Drag Presence Under Fire upward — watch the trapped strengths start to compound.
Trusted by consultants at
As a consultant, you receive feedback constantly but you are never told clearly the one capability actually blocking revenue, influence, promotions, or compensation increases.
The cost you bear? Months of effort wasted. Money you don't make. Opportunities you don't convert. Energy you will never get back.
This stops now.
Reveal your consulting behaviors through a precise, science-driven, scenario-based assessment.
See exactly where you stand: your Score calibrated against the benchmark, and your Leverage Quadrant mapping.
Receive your hyper-personalized Edge Report with a clear action plan to sharpen your skills immediately.
If growth has stalled - whether a promotion, a pipeline that won't convert, or fees you struggle to defend - is because vague feedback and advice point at the wrong levers. That is a measurement problem, not a "you" problem.
You don't need to reinvent yourself, but you do need to identify the capability which is actually blocking progress inside your firm or your practice. Following our thorough assessment, you will see where you stand and what to do next, without another round of guesswork.
"Work on presence," "get better at stakeholders," "be more commercial" is advice that sounds smart but means nothing. We translate that noise into six scored capabilities and one first move you can run on live work, client-side or in your own business.
Progress in consulting goes beyond billable hours or likeability. Successful consultants, in a firm or on their own, focus on the behaviors that unlock influence and trust. Consulting Edge makes those behaviors visible and sequenced for you.
You didn't become a consultant to crank out slides and stay busy with nonsense. You want impact, influence, clients who trust you, and a career that builds on itself. We surface where your edge is trapped, what to fix first, how to run it this week, and help you earn more.
If you are thinking, "Yeah, I've heard this before... More presence, better politics, clearer slides, etc etc" let me stop you there.
Consulting Edge is not about clichés and platitudes. It is about measurement.
A personalized Edge: your situation in plain language, what's carrying you, what's stalled, 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.
Consulting Edge is built on structured consulting scenarios and 7-point Likert scales, the same approach used in rigorous behavioral assessment. Each item maps to one of six capabilities proven to drive consulting performance: Framing, Presence, Stakeholder Algebra, Synthesis & Story, Leverage & IP, and Commercial Acumen.
Scores alone are only a snapshot. Our unique Leverage Quadrant treats your profile as a system: which strengths are trapped by upstream constraints, which bottlenecks suppress the rest, which single first move unlocks the most. That sequencing prevents you from investing in the wrong skills.
Items are written against real consulting outcomes, following a rigorous methodology refined with practitioners, HR and assessment experts. We check consistency so your Edge Report reflects stable patterns in how you work, rather than one-off quiz moods like the other tools.
Start with the capability the Quadrant says to fix first. Run this week as a single, concrete play on real work, then use the next four weeks to install the habit. Treat the 90-day focus as your proof window. That is how Consulting Edge starts changing how you get paid, trusted, and chosen.
We include a comparison to other consultants so your scores have a reference point. The benchmark answers "where do I stand?", while your Quadrant and week-to-90-day plan answer "what do I fix first?" We remove opinions to give you evidence you can use immediately to progress.
Drag your profile on the radar. This is how you think you score — not your Edge Report.
Drag each capability. Movement tightens near the Illustrative Benchmark — most people overrate how close they sit to it.

You can spend thousands on someone talking you through your career. A missed promotion cycle or a year of underpricing can cost far more, sometimes $50K+ in lost upside.

Consulting Edge is built on a diagnostic method developed by Maurizio Cuna, a consulting partner with twenty years of experience across Europe, the USA, 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.
The method he developed makes the invisible capabilities of consulting measurable, drawing on two decades of client work and refined with input from organizational psychologists and HR leaders. It is the same lens he uses today to advise consultants on what to fix, in what order, and how to prove it.
Maurizio is a consulting partner, start-up advisor, best-selling author of "Beyond Slides", and writer of the newsletter "Consulting Intel".
No. This is a behavioral diagnostic instrument specifically designed for consulting contexts, measuring observable behaviors that correlate with consulting success, not personality traits.
It will help. The Consulting Edge assessment identifies specific behavioral gaps that often prevent promotions. Through your Edge Report, we provide actionable insights to address blind spots that do not always surface through other methods.
The assessment can take up to 1 hour to complete (don't worry, you can always Save progress and come back later). Treat it seriously: this won't be a quick quiz you can breeze through. The assessment will have you think and reflect deeply. Answer honestly, so that your Edge Report is a precise snapshot of your current capabilities. Once you submit, your Edge Report is finalized within 24 hours and delivered to your inbox.
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. We will send you a ready-to-use reimbursement letter for HR or your manager, plus your invoice, 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.
The more honestly and carefully you respond, the sharper and more useful your report will be. Thoughtful answers give you the kind of accuracy that makes the insights impossible to ignore. Please allow 1 hour of quiet and introspective time to answer the questions. You can Save and come back later if you need to.
Absolutely. Your responses are confidential and used only to generate your report and update global 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 remove guesswork: if it doesn't help you, you shouldn't pay for it.
You can upgrade to a private debrief call or to the six-month transformation program. Many consultants start with the report and then add a call to accelerate their growth. It is a small investment when compared to the financial upside the tool can unlock.
