Our Story
At SSA & Co., we live at the intersection of capability and execution. Our digitally enabled operating model transformations power some of the world’s most resilient businesses.
We engineer transformation from the inside out, across systems, culture, and capabilities. Real transformation isn’t a one-time initiative; it’s a rewired operating system that embeds agility, innovation, and continuous improvement into how you run every day. We partner shoulder to shoulder with our clients to drive tangible results against what matters most.
Our heritage is Six Sigma — the discipline of improving performance by improving process, and one of the most prominent business management operating systems ever built. We were using big data before it had a name. We led breakthrough transformations regarded as some of the most well-known stories in business history. That heritage gives us the right to help you win now: inventing and deploying the next generation of operating systems, fueled by AI.
AI is a compounding advantage. We draw insight from the full range of available data, equip every engagement with a shared AI toolkit and project knowledge base, and carry lessons across functions, businesses, and industries. Each deployment strengthens the next, allowing the model to become faster, sharper, and more valuable with every engagement.
SSA & Co. builds solutions to power growth from within. That’s how businesses go 2X as far, 2X as fast.
We operationalize strategic vision. We design and implement operating models, stand up transformation capabilities, and bring AI-enabled visibility through our SSA & Co. Control Tower℠, surfacing risk before it turns into a problem and delivering results that last.
Leadership teams hire us to rapidly assess current state and understand business performance. Our Digitally Enabled Process Improvement℠ approach uses advanced analytics and AI to review source data to produce sharper diagnostics in less time — so your roadmap is built faster and you can focus on what matters most.
We accelerate continuous improvement, build capability, and shift culture — because change management and user adoption are what make improvement real. We deliver performance improvement, cost reduction, and revenue impact programs, using automation and prioritizing the highest-value opportunities first, so benefits land early and compound.
We deploy bespoke programs and belt training that marry our Lean Six Sigma heritage with modern AI tools, balancing speed of change with culture transformation. We establish program governance and project pipelines and build an AI-ready operating model through training and development.
We deploy senior subject matter experts — operators, process experts, Lean Six Sigma practitioners, and AI and technology specialists — against your highest-value challenges, in the combination the work calls for. Pairing deep operator wisdom with contemporary AI-based tools is what drives tangible results. In practice that means senior people are in the room from day one and results materialize in weeks not quarters.
We partner with your business and operating leadership, integrating deeply with the teams running your day-to-day to build business buy-in and develop in-house competency.
We work with your business, not at it. We focus on your market, economics, and model, applying AI, advanced analytics, and digital tools where they accelerate results.
We run rigorous analysis across every dimension of your business, pairing it with advanced analytics, process mining, and AI to surface the patterns and risks manual review misses. Our operators turn findings into action, so decisions rest on hard data and experienced judgment.
We bring specialized, data-driven frameworks that move complex issues from anecdote to fact. We embed AI and automation, so the analysis scales and decisions get faster.
The operating models we design span process, organization, data, technology, controls, and change management. We build pragmatic AI into the model, with the workflows to keep it running.
We coach your internal teams through the build, embed change management capabilities, and accelerate benefit capture, leaving an operating model and internal capability that last.
Council Advisors partners at the pace of leadership. Our three expert practices – SSA & Co., The Miles Group (TMG), and High Lantern Group (HLG) – are built to serve boards, CEOs, and their top teams, helping them drive results where it matters most.
High Lantern Group partners with the leaders of the world’s largest businesses and organizations to shape strategic priorities, share complex ideas, and build coalitions to advocate for them.
TMG partners with boards, CEOs, and their teams on leadership development, executive succession, and team effectiveness.
Today’s disruption and rapid digitization have companies rethinking strategy, but few translate it into action and results. We work with clients to develop and implement bespoke solutions that deliver exponential returns.
