About KEY by BCG

Approximately 75% of transformations fail to create shareholder value

Companies face a constant imperative to change, yet most fall short of their targets. Most business transformation software is not capable of managing the inherent complexities; either it’s too tactical or it overwhelms business leaders with information.

KEY by BCG, our cloud-based program management software, is different: it can reverse the odds and avoid the common pitfalls.

Backed by hundreds of successfully run transformation programs and decades of experience, our program management software comes with a clear focus on value delivery. KEY by BCG distills BCG’s change management methodology and expertise into a single intuitive solution, specific to the type of program involved:

Business Transformation

Our targeted configuration allows executives to manage and steer their portfolio of initiatives from start to finish, ensuring executional certainty with proper risk management, and linking value to company financials.

Post-Merger Integrations

Our targeted solution helps drive each stage of the integration process from Day 1 execution through synergy realization, empowering executives to successfully identify and mitigate any upcoming risks.

Climate Change and Sustainability

Our specific software configuration enables executives to steer, execute, and accelerate the businesses transition to net zero by driving a critical ESG initiative portfolio alongside other transformative business initiatives.

Continuous Improvement

Our project portfolio management capabilities facilitate collaborative and decentralized creation and overall management of initiative portfolios, while at the same time instilling a culture of continuous improvement.

Project or Transformation Management Officer. Project and transformation managers need PMO software to manage and report on the overall program, risks, and issues. They need full transparency into the whole initiative portfolio to proactively manage risks and escalations with all stakeholders.

Workstream Leads. Workstream leads need a digital performance platform to manage their teams and support issue resolutions. They oversee multiple initiatives within their area and raise issues upwards if required.
