By transforming pricing, companies can drive significant value to the bottom line. BCG helps develop the capabilities, processes, and mindset that unlock the power of pricing—in good times and bad.
The power of pricing is immense. It drives growth, sparks differentiation, and strengthens competitive advantage. Or at least, it can do these things—with the right strategy, execution, and enablement.
To unleash the power of pricing, companies need a strong internal capability, one that’s fueled by technology—like advanced analytics—but rooted in people and processes. They need a test-and-learn culture that moves fast from idea to pilot to scale. They need to continually measure, assess, and improve. Because pricing and revenue management is a contact sport. And the most successful players adapt rapidly, and repeatedly, to maximize value for their customers—and themselves.
Pricing has no textbook solution. Different companies require different strategies and operating models. We bring functional expertise and cutting-edge data science to the key topics in pricing and revenue management.

By combining data, AI, and automation, dynamic pricing lets companies adjust prices rapidly and manage volatility. It also enables them to set prices in hyper-personalized way, adjusting by segment or even by customer.
Net Revenue Management
A proven way to spark growth from pricing and mix rather than volume, net revenue management requires a cross-functional, analytics-heavy approach. We help companies prototype, incubate, and industrialize solutions—fast.
Pricing Strategy
Across industries, pricing models are evolving. Case in point: subscription-based services for everything from software to snow removal. We help companies assess new models and identify how to adjust.

This is why our pricing consultants work closely with BCG experts in customer insights and marketing and sales to ensure cross-functional success.
