Key by BCG

Approximately 50% to 70% of change management and transformation efforts fall short of achieving their goals. The root causes are both tactical and strategic:

No formal program-management structure and governance
Weak financial discipline and processes
Insufficient data and transparency
An emphasis on the wrong set of initiatives
Distracted leadership and siloed teams

Key by BCG Makes the Difference

To address these challenges, we have developed Key by BCG, a digital performance platform that unlocks the value of transformations.

Key by BCG supports the transformation journey, providing organizations with the functionality, data, and insights they need to manage it efficiently:

Set aspirational targets that are aligned with strategic business goals and profit expectations
Develop ideas and initiatives to achieve the assigned targets
Prioritize a portfolio of initiatives by weighing the business case for each and the potential return on investment
Accelerate the impact of initiatives using clear action steps
Monitor progress and identify risks using forward-looking risk indicators and exception-based reporting
Follow up on critical decisions and take swift, course-corrective actions as needed

Why Adopt Key by BCG

Using Key by BCG delivers enormous benefits for organizations that are tackling a transformation, whether it is a post-merger integration, a cost-optimization program, or an organizational restructuring. Key by BCG provides a one-stop solution for managing initiatives from concept through completion.

The Key by BCG interface is intuitive, and it can be configured to provide senior leaders with the right information to drive the business and make swift course corrections, if necessary. The platform allows administrators to assign access rights to users on the basis of their role, ensuring confidentiality. And it leverages exception-based reports so that users can quickly identify risks, resolve roadblocks, and focus on making critical decisions.

Our digital-performance platform addresses the most common pitfalls facing a CEO and the project management office during a transformation:

A Lack of Transparency

It acts as the source of truth and updates reports and dashboards in real time, eliminating the need for time-consuming data consolidation and report generation.

A Lack of Standardization

It harmonizes data across all work streams, generating a cohesive data set for effective discussions.

Distracted Leadership

It uses exception-based reports to proactively elevate the areas that need senior leadership’s focus, allowing for productive meetings and enabling decision making.

Unclear Value Delivery

It shows an organization’s performance—which initiatives are focusing on the most crucial improvement areas and generating value.

A Lack of Discipline and Traceability

It logs tasks and impediments, allowing rigorous follow-up on actions and decisions.
