Testimonials

(These testimonials reflect projects originally delivered by the Canadian team under Leading Edge Group prior to the reorganization of its global operations. The same team continues this work today as Leading Edge Associates)

“Leading Edge Group has been working with the City of St. John’s since September 2017 as we take our core value of “continue to do things better” and translate that into how we do our work every day. While we are in the early phase of this CI journey and still have a lot of work to do, Leading Edge Group has provided practical advice and strategic guidance every step of the way.”

Derek Coffey. Deputy City Manager, Finance and Administration, Champion for CI. City of St John’s.

“Our experience with Leading Edge Group was exceptional, and the additional supports and excellent follow-up we received from the team ensured that we completed our projects and were able to sustain the improvements that had been made, demonstrating their commitment to creating continuous improvement learners. It is wonderful to now see and hear Lean approaches and tools being applied in other contexts outside of our projects, as the value of Lean is recognized across the agency and process improvements continue to be actualized.”

Monica Armstrong, System Planner. Youth Services Bureau of Ottawa.
