BRINGING THE BEST AND BRIGHTEST
DELIVER WITH SOLVE
Solve Consulting (Solve) is a Calgary-based management consultancy that provides services to clients throughout Western Canada. We have supported clients across 15+ industries to improve the efficiency, cost-effectiveness, and reliability of their businesses. We provide clients with the Process Improvement, Change Management and Project Execution expertise that they need to drive their business forward. Solve brings the best and brightest consultants to each engagement. We pride ourselves on client delivery excellence, quality and ensuring that our engagements are tailored to meet the needs of our clients.
We aren’t satisfied unless our client’s business performance and operational results have tangibly improved by the end of each engagement.
WE HAVE A PROVEN TRACK RECORD
THE HISTORY OF SOLVE
Our company was founded by consultants who had previously worked together at a Big 4 consulting firm. It was there that we learned the importance of a relentless focus on quality and were trained to the highest standards. We started Solve Consulting in 2015, with a simple goal of providing the quality of service expected from a Big 4 consultancy at a fraction of the cost to our clients.
Our track record ranges from delivering large-scale transformations to delivering short, targeted initiatives that drive immediate benefits. Our in-depth and expansive experience across multiple industries and types of projects ensures that we are able to support our clients with the unique challenges they are facing.
In 2023, Solve has been acknowledged by Manage HR as one of the top 10 growing change management firms in Canada. This recognition validates our commitment to delivering exceptional results for our clients and driving positive organizational transformations.

OUR VALUES MEAN SOMETHING TO US,
THEY ARE AT THE CORE OF EVERYTHING WE DO
THE FACES OF SOLVE
OUR LEADERSHIP TEAM
We take pride in helping organizations understand complex problems and distilling the analysis down into insights that are actionable and impactful to their operations. We have deep technical expertise in all areas of change management and process improvement. We leverage this expertise, along with our team members’ ability to learn new industries and problem sets quickly, to provide market-leading value-for-money for clients. We often receive feedback from clients that our analysis and recommendations are pragmatic, fit-for-purpose, and simple to understand. We believe this is a hallmark of success; if a consultant wraps up a project leaving the client confused or struggling to implement the recommendations, the client is no further ahead.
We have a mix of full-time employees and contractors who provide services on a regular basis. Additionally, we have access to a broader pool of trusted, pre-qualified senior contractors, who we can draw upon as required. In most cases, these additional resources have already supported past projects of ours and are a trusted pair of hands; including this secondary pool of resources, Solve has created a network of change management, project execution, and business process management consultants. Because of this resourcing strategy, we are always able to provide the right specialists for the role, rather than hiring a team of full-time, salaried generalists that we must put on any given project.
