CUTV News Radio spotlights Susan Schall PhD of SOS Consulting

Front Royal, VA – Susan Schall is the founder and operations leader of SOS Consulting, where she works with manufacturing leaders to maximize their leadership potential, improve organization performance and deliver unique value to customers.

Susan holds a PhD in industrial engineering, the engineers who bring in the people part of the equation.

Susan has over 30 years of experience in industries ranging from chemical manufacturing to higher education, resulting in over $250 million in savings and new business. Prior to consulting, Susan held a variety of technical and leadership roles at RR Donnelley, GE Lighting, DuPont and Kodak.

“Throughout my career I've worked with the big guys, the large companies,” says Susan. “The big guys have the resources already. They're on the edge of technology. “Small manufacturers are very much overlooked by other consulting groups, academia, our government agencies, economic development, but it’s the small manufacturers that are really the lifeblood of American business.

Today Susan specializes in working with small and medium-sized manufacturers to make them more competitive today and tomorrow.

“In small companies, many people are wearing multiple hats, so they don't have a lot of time to look at the big picture,” says Susan. “The focus has been so short-term and focused only the numbers, on the financials, that we lose sight of the bigger picture.”

If there’s a disconnect within an organization, the root cause, says Susan, always comes back to leadership.
