BCG’s approach is very applicable to what we do; over the past four years, it has therefore become involved in some of the most central aspects of our work. It has helped us create a new business model that revolutionizes the way we transform our donors’ cash into food in the hands of hungry people. BCG has helped upgrade our supply chain and has supported a review of WFP’s decentralization. It has also helped us sort through some key governance issues.

BCG helped us with the outsourcing of a major part of our application management activities. BCG supported us in this effort through RfI, RfP, contract negotiation and transition phase. The project generated significant net savings for us and addressed our particular requirements regarding staff transfer, offshoring ratio and risk sharing with the IT provider.

BCG really made a difference when we embarked on our technology transformation program. The combination of strong analytics, in depth technical and business knowledge and a collaborative working style was exactly what we needed. The way BCG supported and challenged us was key to our success to date.

The Boston Consulting Group has provided the Fondazione Palazzo Strozzi exceptional strategic advice from the very beginning. BCG's advice has been exceptional not only in its precision and its thoroughness, which one should be able to take for granted from a top international consultancy. What makes BCG's work stand out is the quality of the staff they assign to a project, and their willingness not to impose a pre-conceived business model, but to learn quickly how a business looks 'from the inside' and to tailor tools, methods and best practices that fit the actual situation. In the case of cultural projects, it is this ability to speak and understand the language of the sector, and to respect the areas in which the client's deep knowledge has real value, that has made BCG an indispensable part of the Palazzo Strozzi project.

BCG's annual IT benchmarking study provided a precise description of our competitive IT cost position. Based on a detailed assessment of IT cost structures and drivers in key areas, such as mainframe, server, storage, and PC/LAN, we derived corresponding levers and measures for internal optimization and the renegotiation of IT supplier contracts.

BCG has great expertise, is very result oriented, and also knows what it takes for organizations to change. Its experience in managing change is so interesting. BCG's understanding of processes, in particular - how to make things happen as efficiently as possible and what needs to be delivered at each stage - has been very valable to us.

BCG's analytical and data driven approach combined with a clear business perspective can create a lot of value for any CIO. BCG's recommendations have been pragmatic and we have successfully implemented some of them. In particular the advice on sourcing has been valuable for us.

We were highly impressed by the entire study-by the quality, professionalism and thoroughness of the work, the way in which you went the extra mile to help us think through our strategy and the creativity of of the underlying analytical framework-to name just a few aspects of the engagement. The findings and recommendations from the study and the work performed far exceeded our expectations.
