SSSIG is a business advisory services firm focused on accelerating growth. Simply put, it’s no simple task to grow a business. You may be tempted, in fact, to seek simplistic solutions – if we only had more leads; if only our prices were lower; if only we had that new product; if only our market was growing faster. SSSIG moves companies from the “if only” system of management to one driven by data, diagnostics and structure. The fact is, most companies reach accelerated growth after understanding ALL of the factors that drive their businesses, and after they’ve addressed the issues that can impede growth:

• Operational costs
• Market dynamics
• Product performance and innovation
• Pricing
• Leadership
• Access to capital for growth
• Compensation
• Marketing and sales effectiveness
• Distribution channel conflict
• Geographic reach
• Organizational culture
