Sales Intelligence Group: A New Era in Consulting

In recent years, the concept of side jobs, once seen merely as supplementary income sources, has evolved significantly. Particularly since 2020, amid challenging economic conditions, side jobs have emerged as critical elements for driving growth in Japan. Enter the Sales Intelligence Group (SIG), which, since its establishment in 2022, has rapidly expanded to a team of 400 professionals utilizing an innovative full-commission consultancy model that is creating significant impact in Japanese society.

Maximizing Human Capital

SIG operates on a unique model characterized by a full-commission approach where consultants are only compensated based on the results they achieve. This sets SIG apart from traditional consultancy firms, where consultants are paid fixed salaries. For SIG's consultants, this model incentivizes them to utilize their extensive experience to produce direct growth outcomes for clients. The motivation derived from performance-based pay mitigates the risk of lower-performing consultants handling client accounts, allowing clients to anticipate maximum results from established industry players.

As a result, previously dormant high-level skills and expertise are unleashed across society. With seasoned professionals from top-tier firms like McKinsey, BCG, Bain, and Deloitte joining SIG, their insights are quickly applied to meet demands from corporations, government agencies, and universities, contributing to solutions for social challenges.

A Catalyst for Japan's Competitiveness

By enhancing workforce mobility, SIG is fuelling Japan's competitive edge, compensating for productivity declines in a shrinking population. The emerging value of 'multi-career' opportunities formed through side jobs will become pivotal for companies keen on leveraging diverse talent for future growth strategies.

SIG actively participates in projects aimed at solving various social issues, extending its influence to academic institutions and large enterprises. For example, its consultants play integral roles in promoting digital transformations (DXs) and green transitions (GXs). Collaborative efforts with universities and government bodies help in executing joint initiatives meant for real-world experimentation and educational programs that extend beyond simple business outcomes.

Dynamic Impact of Side Jobs

An individual consultant with side-job experience holds the potential to drive impactful change across corporate and governmental sectors, spawning a broad array of social impacts. This cycle of growth brings forth innovative societal contributions that extend from local economies to the global market.

SIG’s model allows consultants to engage in fulfilling work that not only offers high compensation but also provides meaningful contributions to society. This environment facilitates maximal expression of professional expertise, while also embodying the principles of flexible working arrangements and diverse career paths that were underappreciated in traditional consulting roles.

SIG has positioned itself as a space for high-caliber professionals with global knowledge and experience. The continuous return of their skills and insights to society forms a self-sustaining cycle where various sectors can benefit.

Strategic Value Creation Through Collaboration

For established enterprises, treating SIG as a new consultancy partner presents a unique opportunity to implement high-value consulting without the risks typically associated with fixed-fee models. SIG's results-oriented remuneration structure allows client companies to minimize risks while pursuing maximum outcomes. Especially for large organizations with revenues ranging from hundreds of millions to trillions of yen, the consulting services provided by SIG become pivotal for fostering growth within their operations.

Partnering with SIG offers businesses strategic weapons against complex challenges, particularly in building competencies required for upcoming eras marked by digital and green transformations. The diverse network of experts and their advanced knowledge at SIG acts as indispensable facets to bolster Japan's corporate evolution.

Looking Ahead: Growth Towards 2030

As SIG eyes a future with a network of 10,000 professionals, their vision aims to establish a global standard originating from Japan. By 2030, the goal is to work with more than half of Japan's major corporations while building a reputation globally. The integration of diverse talent across ages, nationalities, and genders continues to drive the organization’s resolve to tackle all societal challenges.
