The Small Business Consulting Corporation (SBCC) serves as a Department of Defense contractor that facilitates the integration of innovative commercial technologies, advancing capabilities in leaders, and delivering solutions for our nation’s defenders.
Founded by Brigadier General Gerald Goodfellow (USAF, Ret.), SBCC addresses challenges faced by the Air Force in adopting innovative capabilities for its advanced weapon systems and war fighters. The organization specializes in identifying critical capability gaps and providing effective remedies through a robust network of commercial partners, seasoned instructors, and advanced analytical tools.
“We don't just admire innovative ideas, we operationalize them,” noted Goodfellow. “This team addresses the Air Force’s toughest challenges. Whether enabling access to advanced technologies, leveraging software tools in government-owned data environments, or empowering Airmen to think critically and lead with pride, SBCC is a key resource for solutions.”
SBCC's structured around three lines of effort: Commercial Engagement & Integration (CE&I), Data Engineering & Analytics (DE&A), and Education.
The CE&I initiative connects major command (MAJCOM) partners with leading solution providers, including startups and tech incubators, to integrate dual-use technologies into the defense sector. This includes organizing technological showcases where commercial entities can present innovations to MAJCOM decision-makers, with selected solutions receiving guidance on funding and implementation pathways.
Their digital engineering experts in DE&A collaborate directly with Airmen to create custom-coded programs for Air Force data platforms. The resultant statistical analysis and optimization creates decision-making advantages across the board room and the battlefield.
In parallel, SBCC offers immersive, seminar-based leadership courses tailored to various levels within the Air Force. These programs aim to cultivate emotionally intelligent leaders equipped with a coaching-focused growth mindset, thereby strengthening leadership across the command. |
