OrgBuilder

OrgBuilder, BCG’s patented software platform, provides a single source of truth for enabling organizational transformation and facilitating change management.

BCG knows that the essence of any organization—people working together collaboratively—is also the basis of competitive advantage. That’s why OrgBuilder addresses organizational redesign, transformation, and employee engagement simultaneously.

With its secure, scalable architecture, OrgBuilder allows managers to focus on placing the most capable employees in positions where they can make the greatest contributions. Since its launch in 2010, BCG has used OrgBuilder as a corporate reorganization tool in more than 3,000 projects, restructuring more than 4 million roles to create higher-performing organizations.

The Benefits of OrgBuilder

Supports Distributed Org Design. BCG has found that clients get the best results using a distributed approach to organization design. Using this model, managers deep within the organization who are closest to the work are responsible for defining roles and aligning people with positions. OrgBuilder gives managers an intuitive, secure, and scalable platform on which to perform distributed organization design.

Makes Data Actionable. OrgBuilder has the capacity to synchronize massive data flows and keep corporate reorganization projects on track. The highly configurable interface for the software tool puts key metrics front and center for each user—while making it easy for leadership to monitor overall progress and steer projects back on course as needed.

Can Be Customized for Any Project. Whether they’re redesigning for growth, changing their operating model, or integrating two companies, clients can customize OrgBuilder to define which metrics to measure, who has access to which positions and which talent, how to measure progress toward corporate redesign goals, and more.

Prioritizes Data Security. The business consulting software tool prioritizes the secure retention and transmission of sensitive, personally identifiable data. OrgBuilder’s permissions model ensures that individual users have access only to the position or person records and fields they need in order to execute their own role in the redesign process.

Improves Talent-Selection Processes. OrgBuilder helps clients implement objective and transparent talent-selection processes that accelerate value creation while ensuring that employees are fairly treated. By giving leaders an intuitive interface for designing and staffing teams, OrgBuilder increases the visibility, transparency, and value delivery of the entire talent-selection process.

OrgBuilder in Action

Asia-Pacific Bank Captures $300 Million in Savings with OrgBuilder

A major Asia-Pacific bank embarked on a large-scale transformation in pursuit of ambitious cost-efficiency goals. BCG used OrgBuilder to help the bank digitize and automate major elements of its talent-selection process. The bank achieved more than $300 million in savings within the first year and established a roadmap to capture $1 billion in savings within three years. Automation and digitization also dramatically boosted HR efficiency and accuracy. For example, tenure calculation requests that once took two hours to process could now be completed in just ten seconds—with 95% fewer errors.

OrgBuilder Enables Massive Corporate Reorganization in Six Months
