Solve Studio

What Solve Studio does

Solve Studio d.o.o. is a privately held management consulting firm founded in 2019 in Zagreb, Croatia by Renata Preglej Garić and Grgomir Garić. The firm specializes in organizational development with a focus on employee engagement and productivity, serving enterprise and mid-market clients primarily in Croatia and Southeast Europe. Its service portfolio spans individual coaching, consulting, and mentorship (billed at approximately 170 EUR + VAT per 1.5-hour session), structured in-house workshops, and multi-month flagship programs including the Boardrooms leadership simulation (1,890 EUR + VAT per participant, minimum six participants) and the Productivus Leadership Academy (6- or 12-month modular engagements, custom-quoted).

The firm applies a proprietary three-level organizational diagnostic methodology covering official structure, operational reality, and emotional network, and claims quantified client outcomes including productivity gains of up to 45%, engagement increases above 100%, turnover reductions above 60%, and profit-margin growth above 600% year-over-year for specific clients. Named customers include Variosystems (manufacturing/electronics, 500+ employees), the SM Group/M SAN Grupa ecosystem (IT distribution), Agilos IT, PIS, M2 Business Consulting, MojPosao, ZGI, Agro Invest Grupa, Masscells, and City Connect. Delivery is exclusively direct and human-led — on-site at client premises or via video conference — with no proprietary software platform, API, or AI capabilities.

The business operates without external funding, is privately held by its two co-founders, and runs a sales-led go-to-market built on referrals, direct outreach, and Renata Preglej Garić's personal LinkedIn presence. Marketing channels include the company blog ('Naše znanje'), earned media in Croatian outlets, and word-of-mouth, with no paid advertising or self-service channels. All revenue is professional-services based and time-and-labor intensive, leaving the firm highly dependent on founder delivery capacity.
