SIG is an enterprise transformation consulting firm. We help organizations close the gap between strategy and execution, specifically around agile transformation, data governance, AI governance, and organizational change. Unlike large firms that deliver reports and move on, SIG works alongside your teams to actually implement the change.

We execute. Most large firms are built around delivering frameworks and recommendations. The actual work gets handed back to you. SIG was founded because of that frustration. Dr. Josh Stephens spent years watching organizations pay six and seven figures for slide decks they couldn’t execute on. Every SIG engagement is practitioner-led, hands-on, and measured against real outcomes.

SIG offers three investment tiers: For the Leader, For the Consultant, and For the Executive, each designed for a different role and level of engagement. Visit the Investment page for full details.

A focused engagement around a specific capability (like implementing SAFe at the team level) can show meaningful results in 90 days. A broader organizational transformation typically unfolds over 12 to 24 months. SIG builds phased roadmaps so organizations see early wins while building toward lasting change.

SIG’s background is rooted in healthcare IT and executive leadership. We work with enterprise organizations across healthcare, technology, and financial services.

SAFe (Scaled Agile Framework) is the leading framework for applying agile principles at the enterprise scale. Dr. Stephens is a SAFe Program Consultant (SPC) and has led SAFe implementations across multiple enterprise organizations. If your teams are struggling to stay aligned and move fast at scale, SAFe gives you the structure to fix that.

Yes, and that’s often the best time to engage. SIG helps early-stage efforts with readiness assessments, roadmapping, and foundational capability building before committing to a large-scale rollout.

AI is built into every SIG engagement. Josh isn’t watching AI from the sidelines. He’s actively using it, teaching it, and building it into client work. Every engagement includes an honest assessment of where AI can help teams move faster, cut waste, and make better decisions. SIG also addresses AI governance and legislation so organizations aren’t caught flat-footed as the landscape evolves.

Data governance is the set of policies, processes, and accountabilities that determine how your organization collects, manages, and uses data. Without it, you end up with duplicated systems, unreliable reporting, and compliance risk. SIG builds practical data governance frameworks that actually get adopted, not just documented.

Yes. SIG works with organizations nationally and delivers engagements both in-person and virtually. Dr. Stephens is based in West Michigan.

Faster time-to-value on initiatives, improved alignment between leadership and delivery teams, measurable reduction in waste and rework, and teams that can sustain the change after the engagement ends.

The best first step is a conversation. Visit the Contact page to reach out, or explore the Investment page. Dr. Stephens responds personally to initial inquiries.
