Running any business, large or small is a daunting task the larger the scale, the bigger the number of problems. Today, the market has numerous business consulting organizations which are catering to large enterprises; however, most large consulting firms fail at customizing their offerings and meeting the requirements of SMEs. More than the pricing SME business owners need much more straight forward, transparent and practical solutions which will allow them to make vital decisions. Established in 2009, Creative Factor is a Business Consulting and Communication Firm that believes in working with clients as an extended team.
“We did multiple indepth studies of the SMEs and discovered that many of them are stagnant, or growing marginally due to lack of investment capital, talent, management practices, and changes in the economy. Once we identified the key areas, we went ahead and started building frameworks that will help them understand and deal effectively with their actual problems. We work as an extended team to customize, fine-tune and develop a plan that suits their organization,” says Tridiv Das, Founder, Creative Factor. Adding to this, Satish Kumar, Co- Founder, Creative Factor tells, “Being a Business Consulting and Communication company, we like to solve business challenges. A brand has to keep its relationships with five vital stakeholders - employees, customers, partners, channel, and investors, and we at Creative Factor constantly strive to strengthen the relationships that matter to every business.”
Creative Factor has two divisions, one that caters to larger enterprises and the other that provides services to SMEs. For Enterprise clients, the firm emphasizes on Integrated Marketing Services, while for SMEs, Creative Factor concentrates more holistically at an organizational level. “Our flagship programs for SMEs are Brand Business Management Program,Workplace Cultural Transformation Program, Marketing Management Program and Business System Management Program,” says Tridiv Das.
