Sapient Insights Group

About Us

At Our Core

Sapient Insights Group is a women-owned, research and advisory firm with a strong sense of business ethics and a passion for adding value to clients, partners and the HR and Finance communities we work within.

At this stage in our collective careers, we don’t make stuff up, we’re not good at selling trendy, superficial solutions, and we have the confidence to challenge our clients to focus on what drives results versus simply burning hours on popular business activities.

Everything we offer our clients is rooted in decades of experience, primary research or proven practices. When we can’t do it all, we know the people who can! We’ll create the team, guide you to the right results and inject some fun along the way…

Our story

Testimonials

Mike McKitrick
Group Executive Global Compensation, Benefits and HRT, TSYS, TSYS Payment Solutions

TSYS was in the throes of a cross-functional, Global HCM and Payroll Workday implementation. We utilized Sapient Insights Group (formerly Steelbridge Solutions) to support Program and Change Management given the scale of the project. Susan’s technical and business advisory expertise was critical in all phases of the implementation and was instrumental in helping the TSYS team throughout the engagement.

Theresa Rabe
Deputy Director of Human Resources, County of San Mateo, County of San Mateo

Sapient Insights Group (formerly SteelBridge Solutions, Inc.) opened our eyes to and guided us through best practices in change management and training for a countywide technology transformation. Part of our implementation success was definitely due to their efforts.
