Revenue is by far the biggest driver of total shareholder returns—in the short and long term. But half of all companies either fail to grow or destroy value in the attempt. BCG helps clients beat these odds by using insights about customer demand to guide their growth strategies.
To maximize revenue growth—and bolster TSR in the process—companies must first identify the most promising roads to growth. Our customer demand consultants help clients identify the best growth opportunities. We start by pinpointing pockets of customer demand—areas where they can focus, build competitive advantage, win, and grow.
Drawing on our track record of driving impact for clients, our strategic thinking heritage, and our sophisticated analytical tools, we help clients not just gain valuable insights into how consumers make choices but also put those insights into action. Armed with those customer insights, clients can map the most promising pockets of customer demand and craft clear plans to drive growth.
