The company was founded under the name Nilux Consulting in March 2003 in the city of Reading, United Kingdom.

Our clients were at the start IT companies specialised in ICT Security, seeking consultancy to help them achieve the growth levels expected by their executive boards. Within six months, it became clear that the clients, despite having approved of the consultancy recommendations, found it difficult to implement changes and innovative approaches that they strived for.

From 2003 to mid 2008, we managed strategic and operational projects in the European region. We adapted our services to combine consultancy and project management, helping the customers weave their way through de-mergers and mergers, acquisitions and strategic partnerships as well as increased competition in between medium sized companies and the very large system integrators, Telco's and service providers.

In 2007 the Nilux Consulting team moved to Karlsruhe, Germany, from where we continued supporting our clients across Europe.

In mid 2008 the economic and financial crisis began spreading rapidly in Europe. Organisations started to find forecasting difficult and lacked financial resources. Many were at a loss as to a direction to take. Fear and panic spread. Nilux Consulting observed and extracted patterns of failing and succeeding business models.

We took a deep dive into Six Sigma and successfully adapted this methodology across all disciplines: strategy, operational managegement (sales, marketing, business development, accounting, IT systems management...), processes and anywhere a defect was detected that impacted the productivity of the clients' organisations.

In February 2010, we decided to reflect these changes by rebranding our services as Six Sigma Steps.

We made of it a company that clearly offers consultancy, project management and interim executive management services on a "risk zero" basis to the clients (who can pull-out of contracts at any point in time without having penalty fees to pay) and on a 100% service guarantee base (if clients are unsatisfied with any part of the work for any reason, we will re-do the specific intervention or refund it)

We changed our logo to a colourful DNA model that is symbolic of life and structure, change and adaptability. We see it as a common thread between our clients and us.
