THE HISTORY OF BUSINESS RE-SOLUTION
THE HISTORY OF BUSINESS RE-SOLUTION
Business Re-Solution was founded by Dr Juan-Pierré (JP) Bruwer in 2019 as a dedicated platform for him to add value using his specialised expertise. Business Re-Solution was originally structured to provide customised research solutions to South African Higher Education Institutions (HEIs).
In response to the global COVID-19 pandemic, Business Re-Solution underwent a strategic evolution. During this period (2020), Business Re-Solution pivoted its focus from providing customised research solutions to South African HEIs to Individual Researchers, while also providing customised business solutions to Small, Medium and Micro Enterprises (SMMEs).
Business Re-Solution continued to evolve through direct demand. Dr JP Bruwer was approached by Non-Profit Organisation (NPO) internal stakeholders to add value in 2023. This led Business Re-Solution to formally provide customised business solutions and customised empowerment solutions to NPOs and Schools.
In mid-2025, yet through another direct demand, Dr JP Bruwer was approached by a Professional Body to add value. This resulted in Business Re-Solution also placing emphasis on providing customised empowerment solutions to Professional Bodies.
In an attempt to keep up with technological change, Business Re-Solution welcomed Re-Solve the Owl in early 2026 as its official mascot and AI Agent. Re-Solve symbolises the vision, mission, and values of Business Re-Solution in a single character.
Today, Business Re-Solution is regarded as a highly personal practice, where Dr JP Bruwer can live out his purpose while adapting his diverse capabilities to meet the unique needs of its clients. Business Re-Solution is a Scholar-Practitioner Boutique owned, managed and operated by Dr JP Bruwer. It is registered as a private company and it intentionally operates as a micro-business entity to ensure the highest level of direct, expert engagement.
