- I was a long time member of the Leading Edge Forum during my tenure as Global CIO at Eli Lilly and Company. Having joined Whirlpool Corporation in 2012 as Global CIO, I was delighted to rejoin the LEF and introduce their research, thinking, and models in an entirely different industry with a very different set of challenges. We deployed their Business Relationship Management training on a global basis, and it not only improved our business engagement and programme delivery, it was also a key factor in our achieving the highest employee engagement scores in Whirlpool in 2013.Michael HeimCorporate Vice President and Global CIO

- The LEF have changed the game when it comes to advisory and research practices. The speed of change in the technology sector had started to challenge the value of traditional research and advisory practices whose three year retrospective view on life had no place in IT and IS organizations of today. The LEF’s approach has focused on bringing together practitioners working through today's challenges and opportunities to make them accessible via a global network. At the forefront of their success is the ability to ask "what if" and "why not" as they approach situations, rather than critique them retrospectively.Emma WhittyVP of IT & S/CIO

- LEF provide us with the insight we need to bring our technology service provision into the modern age. They supply invaluable views into the areas where we need to focus our change, with working examples, leading executives who have actually accomplished the things we think we want to, and sound advice on how to get from where we are to where we want to be. Their research is pithy, provocative and technically sound, just what we need in an environment awash with marketing hype. LEF help educate our colleagues so we are all pulling in the same direction. Big thumbs up, probably saved the taxpayer millions just by subscribing.Liam MaxwellChief Technology Officer, HM Government
