Digital Government

BCG’s Center for Digital Government partners with leaders in government and society to unlock the potential of digital, data, and technologies to transform the public sector and deliver better outcomes for citizens.

Future-focused governments must embrace and adopt digital transformations in order to thrive. BCG’s deep expertise in artificial intelligence, quantum computing, blockchain, data science, agile, human-centered design, IT architecture, and digital product and service innovation enables governments to meet their public sector digitization challenges head-on.

We help government agencies work in new ways, use data to optimize policy development and service delivery, build end-to-end digital journeys for citizens, and design digital services for governments of the future.


Our Digital Services for Governments

  • Digital Strategy Roadmaps. Together with governments, we develop holistic action plans to accelerate their digital transformation, including building employee capabilities in business and technology, reorganizing government around citizens’ needs, and deploying technology.  
  • Digital Products and Services. Designing, delivering, and deploying working digital products and services—at speed and at scale, and based on customer journeys. Our approach reduces unnecessary complexity often found in government interactions, and better meets citizens’ needs.  
  • Technology Transformation. We build world-class IT services and help governments treat data as an asset by transitioning to digital and data platforms with modular cloud-based architectures. The result is increased flexibility, improved scalability, and a higher ROI.  
  • Digital Transformation. Transitioning to agile-at-scale operating models and adopting agile practices lets governments speed up service delivery and innovate. In parallel, we support strategic workforce planning to build digital skills, strengthen cultures, and attract and retain digital talent.    
  • Value-based Policies and Services. To create value from data, we help governments build analytics capabilities; understand, test, and scale use cases; and ethically deploy new and emerging technologies. We leverage advanced data analytics, artificial intelligence, and robotic process automation in our efforts.  
  • Cybersecurity and Digital Risk. Safeguarding national information by managing cybersecurity risks and buttressing capabilities is critical. We help evaluate the cybersecurity risk profile, assess the security posture, and design and deliver a holistic cybersecurity and digital risk program.
