Redefining management consulting: paving innovative paths for modern enterprises.

In the world of management consulting, traditional firms often resemble academic courses, rich in theory but lacking practical application.

These firms are inaccessible on a smaller scale, presenting generic solutions entangled in red tape that limits room for creative solutions to emerge. The results can be stale, leading uninspired teams to complacency by the engagement’s end.

Founder Jess Carlson saw a better way, diverging from the beaten path and paving new ones that foster growth and drive transformative change for enterprise clients.

Her unconventional approach successfully solved operational bottlenecks for companies like Nestle as a Supply Chain Executive. Jess’ work yielded $400M in incremental sales, $100M in cost-saving efficiencies, and $200M in capital expenditure justification, all while pressed by tight timelines.

But the numbers aren’t what drives her; it’s her influence on people. Jess encourages teams to think creatively, developing internal problem solvers that sustain results.

Behind the brand.

At the heart of our brand is the concept of connecting the dots. We take you from where you are to where you want to be, not by following a strict process but by paving a path that’s tailored to your business goals.

Connection

Our Connection Icon integrates the first and last 'S' in our logo, depicting the creative and often non-linear journey we embrace in problem-solving.

A straight path might be the quickest, but quick fixes can lead to short-lived results. We explore the twists and turns of your unique challenges, uncovering solutions along the way. We don’t take shortcuts. We drive long-term success by taking the road less traveled, mapping our way so your company can confidently navigate future challenges and achieve sustained growth.

Collaboration

Our Collaboration Icon is seen when our Connection Icon is rotated. It’s an abstract picture of people collaborating – you, the leader in your field, and us, your strategic partners.

The curved line of the sideways “S” symbolizes the continuous exchange of knowledge, flowing back and forth. Collaboration isn’t just about giving advice or taking direction; it’s a true partnership where dialogue and understanding are mutual. We believe the best solutions come from this synergy of shared expertise.

Connect where you are to where you want to be by collaborating with Solvers Collective.
