About KEY Impact Management by BCG X
Approximately 75% of transformations fail to create shareholder value
Companies face a constant imperative to change, yet most fall short of their targets. Most business transformation software is not capable of managing the inherent complexities; either it’s too tactical or it overwhelms business leaders with information.
KEY Impact Management, offered as a downloadable cloud-based program management software by BCG X, is different: it can reverse the odds and avoid the common pitfalls.
How Our Program Management Software Works
Backed by hundreds of successfully run transformation programs and decades of experience, our program management software comes with a clear focus on value delivery. KEY Impact Management by BCG X distills BCG’s change management methodology and expertise into a single intuitive solution, specific to the type of program involved:
Our targeted configuration allows executives to manage and steer their portfolio of initiatives from start to finish, ensuring executional certainty with proper risk management, and linking value to company financials.
Our targeted solution helps drive each stage of the integration process from Day 1 execution through synergy realization, empowering executives to successfully identify and mitigate any upcoming risks.
Our specific software configuration enables executives to steer, execute, and accelerate the businesses transition to net zero by driving a critical ESG initiative portfolio alongside other transformative business initiatives.
Continuous Improvement
Our project portfolio management capabilities facilitate collaborative and decentralized creation and overall management of initiative portfolios, while at the same time instilling a culture of continuous improvement.
