Platinum Edge

Formed in 2001, Platinum Edge is the brainchild of Mark Layton, known throughout the world as Mr. Agile^®, an over 20-year project management veteran and Project Management Institute instructor who saw the value of bringing a higher level of professionalism and more structured implementation of agile approaches.

The Other Side Academy

The Other Side Academy is a 2-year self-sustaining residential life-skills and vocational training program for women and men in long-term criminal behavior, drug addiction and homelessness. Students pay nothing to attend.

We are unique in 3 ways.

1. Peer run. We don’t rely on professionals to ‘cure’ or ‘heal’ us. We use peer accountability in a highly structured family environment. Both students and staff come from the same background.

2. Self-funded. We’re self-sufficient, generating the revenue we need to cover all of our operational expenses. Running social enterprises is the therapeutic context and vocational training that helps students succeed after graduation.

3. Behaviors not drugs. We’re not a drug treatment program. We’re about “whole person change.” Our goal is to help students create an entirely new identity and lifestyle for themselves. We deal with the underlying behaviors and view of self that originally led to symptoms like addiction and criminality.
