What The Results Group does

The Results Group (TRG) is a private, boutique management consulting firm founded in 1994 and headquartered in Mountain View, California, with additional offices in San Jose and Irvine. The firm delivers operational consulting across five service lines: supply chain, technology strategy and enterprise systems, customer experience, sustainable operations, and product development, serving enterprise and mid-market clients in technology, industrial, semiconductor capital equipment, medical devices, aerospace and consumer-facing sectors. Notable clients include Lam Research, KLA Tencor, Intuit, Knightscope, FoxHollow Technologies, Harland, Hyperion, Posit Science and Shutterfly, with TRG claiming 180+ clients, 1,600+ engagements and an 80%+ repeat business rate over a 30-year operating history.

TRG's core technology consists of proprietary consulting methodologies rather than software products. The 'Innovate 4 Results' approach is a process innovation methodology adapted from product development management practices, marketed as delivering operational innovation 2-10x faster than conventional consulting. The 'Sustainable Enterprise Maturity Model' profiles sustainability maturity across four tiers (Complier, Dabbler, Consistent Improver, Enterprise Optimizer) and is used to build client roadmaps. TRG also operates as a certified implementation partner for third-party enterprise platforms: Plex Systems (ERP/MES, since 2011), NetSuite (ERP, since 2015), Arena/PTC (PLM), Supply Chain Cube (logistics modeling), Extron Logistics (supply chain resilience) and A2go.ai (AI-enabled supply chain intelligence). The firm has no proprietary software product, no mobile app and no API.

TRG makes money through fee-for-service professional consulting engagements sold directly to enterprise and mid-market buyers via a sales-led GTM motion. Pricing is quote-based and project-scope dependent, with no publicly disclosed rate card. Go-to-market relies on a content-marketing-driven website, LinkedIn presence, detailed case studies and partner referral networks; engagements are initiated via direct outreach, phone or website contact. Revenue is project-based and retention-oriented, supported by an 80%+ repeat business rate. Leadership is held by CEO Kevin Steele (Harvard MBA, ex-Business Engine Software VP/GM), COO Mike Sulaver (Dartmouth AB/BE/MBA, Fortune 50 operating experience) and Founder/Strategic Advisor Bill Schneiderman.

Direct peers

• Slalom Consulting: Mid-market-focused management and technology consulting firm with strong operations, supply chain and cloud ERP practices; comparable in size, geography (US-heavy) and client base of growth-stage to enterprise companies.
• West Monroe Partners: Boutique operations and technology consulting firm specializing in supply chain, ERP/MES implementations and digital transformations for mid-market and enterprise clients; directly overlapping with TRG's core service lines.
• Clarkston Consulting: Boutique management and technology consultancy focused on consumer products and life sciences supply chain, ERP (SAP, Oracle) implementations and operations improvement; comparable boutique scale and delivery model to TRG.
• Point B: Boutique consulting firm offering operations, supply chain, technology and organizational consulting with a senior-consultant delivery model; closest structural analog to TRG's player-coach approach.
• Chainalytics: Supply chain and operations consulting firm providing design, planning and optimization services; direct competitor in supply chain strategy and SCC-style modeling work that TRG also delivers.

Broad incumbents

• Accenture Operations Consulting: Global consulting powerhouse with broad operations, supply chain and ERP implementation practices; competes with TRG on enterprise transformation deals but at vastly larger scale and broader scope.
• Deloitte Consulting: Big 4 advisory firm with operations transformation, supply chain and enterprise applications practices; broad incumbent that competes with TRG especially on large ERP/MES implementations.
• Bain & Company Operations Practice: Top-tier strategy consultancy with a strong operations performance practice; competes for senior-level transformation mandates at the larger end of TRG's enterprise client base.

Others

• Plex Systems Partner Network: ERP/MES vendor whose partner ecosystem (of which TRG is a member) competes for implementation services; relevant peer because partner-level firms like TRG win or lose deals against other certified Plex implementers.
• NetSuite Solution Providers: NetSuite's channel of implementation partners competes with TRG's NetSuite practice for mid-market ERP deployments; treated as ecosystem participants rather than direct strategic peers.
