About Us

LEO, short for Lean Engineering Org, is a CRAFT Lean management initiative that provides specialised consulting and training services for engineering and industrialization processes.

We recognised that many engineering teams seek improvement but often lack a clear path to do so. We believe they can achieve this by applying Lean principles and the proven Lean/Agile toolset, which we've successfully utilised many times. Our mission is to empower teams to unlock their full potential.

With years of experience as a Lean Engineering pioneer, we're now expanding our offerings to a broader audience through LEO. What sets us apart is our track record in implementing Lean and developing Lean leaders combined with deep engineering project expertise. This makes us uniquely qualified to assist you. We trust that our focused approach will bring significant benefits to your organization.
