Lead Education and Development’s team are at the centre of change in an organisation. We know that the most complex aspect of any training programme that we deliver will be affecting ‘people change’. We will ensure that we have a team with a core set of skills who can deliver this.

Our coaches are change management and people experts. They deliver to the highest standard and are specialists in Lean Six Sigma, Kaizen and other Continuous Improvement/Change Management techniques. However, we know it’s how we apply these learnings and the tools and techniques we teach, which adds the most value to our clients.
What sets us apart is the way that we engage with people and support them through their journey.
