The award-winning series The Edge Advantage© consists of four modules that go beyond the basics of diversity, using multimedia technology to create an individualized, highly- interactive learning environment. Designed to reduce barriers and improve productivity, interact with a virtual workgroup of individuals who are diverse in many ways and have been assigned to a newly created department. Each course is a 30-to-45 minute interactive learning experience of realistic workplace dynamics. A brief Introduction module provides some background on the team members and the four-part series includes:



1. The Knowledge of EDGE 2. The Awareness of EDGE

The Knowledge EDGE© provides the business case for learning about differences and
“diversity”. In this module:

  • Define the term “diversity” and learn about differences
  • Meet the Virtual Team
  • Learn the basics about inclusion in
    today’s workforce
 

This course reveals how we are all influenced
at a young age by society’s tendency to “group” people together and assign specific characteristics to each group. Participants will see:

  • Virtual members reveal some personal experiences
  • How members have been impacted by
    assumptions and stereotypes
3. The Competitive EDGE   4. The Legal Edge

Participants learn the internal and external drivers of competitive advantage.

  • Realize how the changing demographics inside an organization increasingly reflect the consumer base
  • See the correlation between the ability to
    work together effectively and how to
    successfully compete in the marketplace
  • Learn how consumer’s perception of an
    organization is linked to how the company
    treats their employees.
 

As the team develops in their level of trust and candor, concerns about Affirmative Action, quotas, EEOC Laws and many of the misperceptions related to the legal aspects of diversity surface.

  • Learn a historical context for worker protection laws
  • Assist the “virtual team” in making an important business decision.

After completing EDGE©, organizations are able to see opportunities for development and strengths within various workgroups, allowing them to reapply best practices. Our approach increases the interactivity of the content delivery by posing questions and surveys within the program series. The data is captured by our proprietary Learning Management System, DQTracs™, and provides you with invaluable feedback about the culture of inclusion within your workforce. You will be better able to meet the needs of your workforce, as well as your consumer, viewing the collective perceptions and concerns by a variety of filters, such as race, ethnicity, gender, age and company position.
