Transformation challenge

Business Transformation

Business transformation is essential to adapt to ever-changing conditions—even for companies that are already dominating their markets. It’s a big challenge, but BCG’s business transformation consultants can help clients put the odds in their favor.

Most CEOs consider business transformation to be a top priority. And they’re well aware of the high failure rates of business transformation programs. But despite this awareness, too many executives rely on anecdotal evidence to try to improve their odds of success.

Our Unique Approach to Business Transformation

We help leaders take a decidedly different approach—one that relies on empirical evidence of what really leads to a successful transformation. Most important, BCG analysis of hundreds of transformations shows that starting the transformation process preemptively—when all seems well—delivers greater long-term value than transforming reactively does. What’s more, it does so faster and more reliably.

But even companies that haven’t launched preemptive change efforts and have seen their performance slip can get back on track. We help such companies execute the business transformations essential for combating strategic crises (including declining profitability and shrinking market share), initiate a business turnaround if their situation morphs into a profit crisis, and manage a restructuring if needed to turn insolvency into revitalization.

BCG helps executives deliver rapid, visible, and sustainable step-change improvement in business performance; strengthen their organizations to win in the future; and turn their companies’ upside potential into radical performance gains. BCG’s transformation experts have proven track records and are invested in clients’ sustainable success.

Our business transformation consultants work shoulder to shoulder with clients to help change their companies’ trajectories—no matter where they are on their transformation journeys.
