What Inventity Foundation does

Inventity Foundation is a not-for-profit consulting foundation headquartered in Warsaw, Poland, operating since 2010 under the legal entity Inventity Foundation with 51-100 employees. The organization provides strategic, operational, and ESG consulting primarily to Polish small and medium-sized enterprises and select large enterprises, supplemented by services to family businesses, NGOs, and public institutions. Its core proposition is the exclusive Polish license for the GROWING PAINS STRATEGY® methodology developed by Prof. Eric Flamholtz and Yvonne Randle of UCLA Anderson School of Management - a 40+ year empirically verified framework addressing ten classic growth barriers - adapted to Polish business conditions.

Service delivery is built around a Licensed Advisor network of 30+ senior managers and experts (leaders hold credentials from Stanford, Bocconi, Warsaw School of Economics, Copenhagen Business School, and include alumni of DHL, InPost, Canal+, Ernst & Young Polska, Capgemini, and APAX Consulting Group). Core offerings include a 3-5 year Strategy Map, Growth Barriers and Organizational Effectiveness audits, digital transformation, BPO/SSC development, Generative AI advisory, training and certification programs, interim management, ESG strategy, and family business consulting.

Revenue is generated primarily through project-based consulting engagements (custom-priced, multi-year contracts) and training/certification programs, with secondary revenue from an e-commerce operation (salescrm.pl storefront) selling Polish editions of Growing Pains and Czempiony Biznesu books and audiobooks at 35-250 PLN. GTM is sales-led B2B enterprise field sales, using a free online growth diagnosis tool as a top-of-funnel lead generator, direct outreach to CEOs/management boards, thought-leadership content (Baza Wiedzy, books), and participation in PARP/EU-funded SME programs. Named clients include OMIDA Group, Landingi, Burda Media Polska, Novago, Xtreme Fitness Gyms, ArjoHuntleigh Polska, Izodom 2000 Polska, ZGM Zębiec, Ochnik, and UNITRA.

• Roland Berger: European-headquartered strategy and management consulting firm with strong presence in Poland and other CEE markets. Comparable as a competitor targeting mid-market and large Polish enterprises, particularly on strategy, operations, and transformation mandates.
• Bain & Company: Global management consulting firm with deep private equity and growth strategy practices. Comparable for Inventity's growth-strategy and exit-oriented engagements (e.g., Novago case) and competing for similar Polish enterprise clients.
• Boston Consulting Group (BCG): Global management consulting firm with significant Central European operations. Comparable as a competitor for Inventity's larger enterprise strategy and growth transformation projects in Poland.
• Ernst & Young (EY) Advisory Poland: Big 4 advisory practice operating in Poland across strategy, operations, transactions, and consulting. Comparable as a direct competitor for Inventity's strategy and transformation mandates, with Inventity's Board Member Brzeziński having been a senior manager at EY Poland.

Comparable as a global incumbent attempting to serve the same Polish SME growth advisory segment that Inventity targets.

Regional players
