YOU DON’T NEED MORE HUSTLE. YOU NEED A SMARTER SYSTEM

We help teams execute with clarity. No chaos, no micromanaging, just real progress.

OPERATIONAL CONSULTING FOR SERVICE BUSINESSES

Your team isn’t short on talent or drive. They’re short on alignment. Without systems that produce clear priorities and ownership, even the best people end up chasing progress instead of making it.

Clarity. Focus. Results.

The Operating Edge gives you a simple, repeatable system that makes execution a habit. So your team knows what matters, who owns what, and how to follow through. Every week, at every level. No new software, no jargon, just real structure that fits into how your team already works.

  • Make priorities visible and finishable
  • Run better meetings with less time and more impact
  • Give managers a clear system to lead without micromanaging
  • Reduce reactivity and focus on what moves the business forward
  • Build a culture of ownership, not oversight

What You Can Expect:

A real conversation, not a sales pitch

We’ll ask questions, get specific, and help you see what’s really in the way, whether we work together or not.

No fluff. Just clarity.

You’ll walk away with a clearer view of where execution is breaking down and what to do about it.

Built for the team you already have

We don’t assume you need new hires, big tools, or a total overhaul. We work with what’s working, and help you fix what’s not.

Momentum from Week 1

If we move forward, you’ll start seeing progress right away. Most teams start running better before the first quarter ends.

About The Operating Edge

The Operating Edge helps growing companies turn strategy into execution without adding complexity. We build simple systems that help teams stay focused, follow through, and lead more effectively each week.

Founded by executive coach and entrepreneur Jason Chance, we work with fast-moving companies in construction, engineering, manufacturing, and professional services. If your team is growing fast but struggling to stay aligned, we can help you close the gap between knowing what to do and actually getting it done.

How We Work:

What Makes Us the Right Partner?

We’re not here to impress you with jargon or tell your team what they’re doing wrong. That’s not helpful, and it doesn’t work. We’re here to get under the hood, ask the right questions, and build systems that make your day-to-day work better.

  • Straight talk, with respect. We’ll call out what’s not working, but always with the goal of helping your team grow.
  • No blame, just better structure. Most execution issues aren’t people problems, they’re system problems. We’ll help you fix the system so your team can succeed.
  • Built with your team, not on top of them. We don’t drop a plan and disappear. We work side-by-side with your leaders to make real change stick.
  • Practical from day one. You’ll get better meetings, clearer priorities, and a way to move forward that doesn’t add more complexity.
THE OPERATING EDGE

Most teams have a plan, but few actually follow through. We help your team focus, stay on track, and finish what matters.

The Cost of Doing Nothing


Most teams don’t fix execution gaps, they work around them. That means more firefighting. More meetings. More good people either burning out or checking out. The longer you wait, the more you pay in missed goals, wasted effort, and preventable turnover.

A better system isn’t a luxury, it’s the difference between staying stuck and moving forward.
