Our Approach to Zero-Based Transformation

BCG helps companies deliver lasting cost and performance gains through a structured, insight-led approach to zero-based transformation. We combine AI-enabled diagnostics, proprietary benchmarks, and agile collaboration to drive real outcomes—fast.

Our zero-based budgeting consultants work side-by-side with clients to do the following:

  • Gain a redesigned organization from the ground up. Clients achieve leaner, more effective structures through zero-based organization redesign. We challenge legacy operating models, reimagine workflows, and eliminate low-value activities—embedding collaborative change management from the start to foster shared accountability across teams.
  • Achieve full transparency into cost categories. Our GenAI-powered diagnostics and proprietary benchmarks create a clear baseline of zero-based spending, surfacing cost anomalies in days, not months. This enables rapid identification of savings and reinvestment opportunities.
  • Align resource allocation to strategic goals. We co-develop a reinvestment roadmap that embeds ROI logic into decision rights and fosters a cost-conscious culture. The result: capital is continually redeployed where it creates the most value.
  • Sustain the impact with real-time governance. With a control tower model and digital dashboards, clients gain full visibility into progress. Clear tracking mechanisms and strong governance frameworks help institutionalize changes and free up funds for long-term growth.

Doing so leads to an agile, high-performing organization that captures value and sustains it.
