Small Business Success Mentoring

SBA statistics tell us that of the small businesses founded in the US this year, 82% will be gone in 2012.  The Mentoring Success Group LLC was created to help small businesses avoid that fate.

Top Technology.  Robust Research.

We have paired 30 years of academic research on small business success with a proven artificial intelligence (AI) engine.  The result is an intelligent, dynamic analysis engine that will measure your company's performance and offer you specific, actionable feedback.

Business Analysis and Business Performance Feedback, Every Month

Subscribers can use the Mentoring Success Group's Business Performance Analysis Engine (BPAE) to analyze their business monthly.  The output of the analysis process includes recommendations on specific actions business owners can take right away to improve their business performance.  They will also receive a variety of reports and a Viability Score -- a proprietary measure that gives entrepreneurs an at-a-glance gauge of their business' probability of success.

Achieving a Competitive Advantage by Helping Small Businesses Beat the Odds

The AI methodology employed by the BPAE has been in use for more than 10 years.  It's time-tested and proven.  In fact, it's based on technology purchased by NASA to track quality control issues for the space shuttle program.

Coupling that world-class technology with the principles of ISO 9000 quality management and 30 years of academic research on business success and failure (see the extensive bibliography in our Library), this system offers a powerful yet affordable business analysis solution for small business.  It's like having a professional management consultant work with your business, every month -- with a much smaller price tag.

The Mentoring Success Group is dedicated to the success of small businesses, their partners, and their stakeholders.

My name is Tom Tubergen, and I’m the President and CEO of Mentoring Success Group, LLC. A  number of years ago, I had a client with a dilemma. They needed to sift through massive amounts of data regarding quality management issues to uncover the specific nuggets of information they needed to focus on to ensure that their quality processes were operating as intended. The predicament was that they were overwhelmed with information, much of it useless or meaningless. They’d lost sight of what it was they needed to know, and why it was important to them.Tom Tubergen

With my expertise in software engineering and manufacturing technology, I developed an artificial intelligence engine that was able to review the entire quality management processes of large diverse organizations. During the 1990's, my technology was widely adopted by nearly every Fortune 500 company in the US, and many significant foreign companies. Even NASA got onboard, using the product to manage the quality control processes for the space shuttle program.
A few years ago, it occurred to me that a large majority of entrepreneurs are highly skilled at developing or delivering their specific products or services, but are often inexperienced at running their business enterprise. What entrepreneurs needed was a product that could sift through all of the information they are being bombarded with each day, and tell them where they needed to focus their energy and attention to achieve the biggest impact in their business and in their life.  As a result, my team used this  opportunity to completely redesign the original technology in a way that provides entrepreneurs with a comprehensive, artificial intelligence-based business mentor or "consultant" that's on-call whenever you need it.  Hence, the Business Performance Analysis Engine was born.
