People & Organization

Industry Challenges

The topic of Organization focuses on people and how to drive superior performance by leveraging the coordination, engagement, and capabilities of employees.

We believe there are four common characteristics of successful organizations.

  • Leadership: Driving urgency and focus in bringing vision and values to life

  • Execution: Moving with speed, clarity, and decisiveness

  • Adaptability: Managing a constantly evolving, increasingly competitive business model

  • Measurability: Measuring what matters, staying ahead of the curve, and acting on core indicators

BCG Competencies

At BCG, we believe that people—working together collaboratively—form the basis of competitive advantage in any organization. With that in mind, we strive to improve employee engagement and company performance in all our work. By focusing on both, companies can achieve real change and sustainable advantage.

BCG’s Organization practice helps clients address their people-related challenges as they strive to improve performance. We work with companies to address their most urgent challenges:

  • Creating the most effective organization design (structure, accountabilities, collaboration) to optimize people capabilities

  • Designing the role of the center so it is both lean and active and enables the organization to create value

  • Hiring the right talent and ensuring that employees are performing by focusing on the human resources function

  • Engaging employees at all levels of the organization and ensuring that corporate culture supports and strengthens the business strategy

  • Systematically developing leadership capabilities throughout the organization

  • Ensuring that the benefits of change programs are fully delivered

Our proprietary tools and techniques can help identify the root causes of the organizational issues facing your company and manage the journey of change. These include organizational surveys, databases, audits and predictive tools. Our Institute for Organization is focused on exploring new frontiers in this field.
