About Us

The Leading Edge Group is an Irish owned company, creating fundamental and immediate change in organizations across the globe. For more than 17 years we have been successfully growing and implementing Continuous Improvement Programs using Lean, Six Sigma, BPR and SCM tools and techniques achieving operational and strategic results.

Joe Aherne, our founder, established the business after working for a number of different multinationals from Ireland to the Middle East. Here, Joe recognised that positive change in organisations was achieved by going back to the very basics, the people. Hence the birth of Leading Edge Group, established to facilitate the real experts working in organizations - every manager, every operator, every administrator, every clinician, every CEO. Using our experience, we act as the lever for change.

We pride ourselves in bridging the gap between theory and practice by educating staff to become the problem solvers. We know no one organization is the same. Our passion is getting into the DNA of each of the organization we work with, fast.

With offices in Ireland, UK and Canada, Leading Edge are providing consultancy, corporate training and education to companies across multiple sectors. The company is now a global leader in the provision of Lean education and works in partnership with a number of academic and professional bodies to provide internationally accredited Lean certification programs.

The Leading Edge Group know that every small success and achievement builds the momentum for change. In turn this promotes further change and on it goes. In everything we believe that it is through people that the real problems can be identified and solved.
