Each product we offer will have this dynamo driving the outcomes. Our knowledge, skills and experience are available to everybody that has the desire to develop his/her undoubted talent. We focus on specific fields in which we offer various products, but ultimately we believe that the principle of excellence is the same in all spheres of life. It is definitely possible to install this into every field and person. We want to exploit life and maximize every opportunity and we believe excellence is the catalyst to achieve one’s ultimate best.
Johan Kleingeld is the driving force of the Edge Group. For non-Afrikaans speakers it might be interesting to point out that Johan’s surname ‘Kleingeld’ translates to ‘change’ in English, in the sense of change you receive when buying at a shop. This has become a nickname, but Johan also sees it as a convenient coincidence that ‘change’ also has the meaning of changing one’s life, circumstances, business etc. The Edge Group drives change in that sense amongst their customers. Each product has a description of the skill, knowledge and experience one can expect from the product, with special focus on results and noticeable effects. Results that can be measured are a non-negotiable principle within the Edge Group and its products. If you cannot measure something, you cannot manage or direct it. Each project is customized and therefore the teams driving a project or product will differ. The Edge Group makes use of contractors with the appropriate skills and knowledge for each project to ensure quality outcomes. The Edge Group started in 2002 and through the years has moved through various phases and undergone transitions, but ultimately the skill, knowledge and experience that have been acquired are available to those who want to drive Excellence in their own lives, business, sport, the effectiveness of their employees and beyond.
