BCG’s Social Impact Work in South America

Endeavor works to catalyze long-term economic growth by selecting, mentoring, and accelerating the best high-impact entrepreneurs worldwide. BCG worked with Endeavor Brazil to support their strategic planning by revising its operating model; redefining the organization’s goals; evaluating its core projects and defining their advocacy agenda, leveraging BCG’s foundation, the Centre for Public Impact. Endeavor’s new strategic plan aims to increase impact by reinforcing its core business (direct support for high-impact entrepreneurs) while developing new business models (advocacy and content sharing platforms).

Instituto Ayrton Senna works to develop the potential of students and educators through education initiatives, partnerships, and integration programs in Brazil. BCG supported the organization on two strategic initiatives: a redesign of the client’s project and portfolio management governance, and a restructure of a new consulting offering—including revisions on the operational model, pricing, and funding procedures.

TECHO is a nonprofit that aims to eradicate deep-rooted poverty in Latin America by engaging with youth volunteers, constructing transitional homes, and establishing social-inclusion programs to integrate struggling populations into Latin America’s social fabric. BCG assisted the nonprofit in redesigning its fundraising strategy, transforming its new international corporate organization and corporate governance, and organizing annual volunteering events for BCG staff to construct houses in Santiago and Buenos Aires. The BCG team remains engaged in supporting TECHO in different advisory roles in eradicating poverty and supporting Latin America’s vulnerable populations.
