Since 1994 we have helped hundreds of companies – from the largest Fortune 500 firm to the smallest private equity portfolio company – improve how they operate. We have delivered billions of dollars of bottom line benefits through higher margins, revenue growth, and more efficient use of capital. At the same time, we have helped our clients transform the way they operate – boosting efficiency and efficacy, increasing customer satisfaction, and empowering internal skills and talent. Today, we continue to improve and evolve upon that legacy. As the nature of our work has expanded well outside the boundaries of Lean or Six Sigma, we renamed our business SSA & Company. This name better represents how we are leveraging process improvement more broadly to help our clients transform their business through smarter process. We work quickly to identify significant value, break down barriers to effective execution, and build your team’s skills to continue improvements long term. We have reinvented process improvement with our proprietary Strategic Process Management SM(SPM) approach.

The Process Excellence Academy is devoted to one thing - delivering improved performance to your company. Founded by a team of experienced consultants, we believe PEx Academy products could provide a better and distinctive delivery of Process Excellence than anything that is currently available. Traditional consultancy practices are not customer focused; a modern solution is needed.

Through a profound understanding of the current market, The PEx Academy has seen traditional practices often leaving companies without the intellectual resources to further train and assess their staff’s and business’s progress; this in turn can leave to companies having an unclear process for continuing their PEx deployment. The PEx Academy has developed concepts and solutions that provide you with the necessary structure, rigour, detail and knowledge to effectively tackle all of your Process Excellence deployment needs with minimal external assistance but with maximum results.
