Our purpose is to inspire positivity in the world. 

We stand for the human dimension in places where it can be forgotten -- including corporate workplaces -- and at times it can be forgotten, like during periods of intense change.

We believe in the potential of every human being. We are convinced that every individual and every organization lives at the cusp of their next great success. That tomorrow can always be better than today, that there is always further to go and more to contribute. And that the engine for achievement is meaning.

Cusp is founded on the understanding that the human dimension drives high organizational performance. Leaders who maximize the potential of their people maximize the potential of their enterprise. Cusp is here to help leaders do just that.

Cusp: a moment full of potential, signifying forward movement.

You’re on the cusp of your next great collective achievement.

Cusp can be loosely read as an acronym for Culture, Strategy and Purpose. Culture is where Strategy and Purpose come together into a way of life.

This intersection is the place leaders play. When you connect the dots and your people align around these arcs, you can achieve your most audacious goals and have your greatest collective impact.

Guiding Principles

We value you, your experience, your insight and your team: We are about bringing out your best, giving you and your team opportunities to explore, create and succeed.

We develop your in-house capability: We leverage and develop your people so that you build the muscle you need to go forward on your own. We are always looking to give your people the opportunity to shine and run with the project. 

We’ve been there and so can respect your constraints:  We have experience in organizations large and small, and have been in the trenches like you. We understand and appreciate the realities you face every day.

We’re not a hammer looking for a nail: We are not attached to any one discipline, model, or approach. We co-create solutions that meet your needs, constraints and dreams. 

We’re more like colleagues than consultants: We’re in it with you and build meaningful personal relationships. Because at the end of the day, it’s all about connection.

How we work

 

We’re all about flexibility.

We usually start with an hourly or daily arrangement, and then shift to a project basis when we together can crystalize the scope. We customize each engagement on the foundation of our Guiding Principles.

Adjunct work? Love it. We stand ready to contribute to projects and interventions managed by other consultants or institutions. This is a great way to learn and connect.
