Today, we help clients with total transformation—inspiring complex change, enabling organizations to grow, building competitive advantage, and driving bottom-line impact. To succeed, organizations must blend digital and human capabilities. Our diverse, global teams bring deep industry and functional expertise and a range of perspectives to spark change. BCG delivers solutions through leading-edge management consulting along with technology and design, corporate and digital ventures—and business purpose.

Boston Consulting Group’s global reputation as a top management consulting firm derives from more than fifty years of experience helping senior managers discover and achieve their companies’ full potential. Our mission is to help our clients achieve sustainable competitive advantage through the delivery of customized solutions. We strongly believe in working with our clients, not on them. We partner with each client to help set direction, and face organizational and operational challenges head on. BCG has employees based in more than 90 offices in 50 countries. BCG’s clients are the world’s top business leaders. From computers to retailing, our professional expertise spans over 50 industries. The vast majority of our clients rank among the 500 largest companies in each of our four major regions–North America, Central Europe Middle East and Africa, Western Europe and South America, and Asia Pacific. Additionally, we work with a number of small- to medium-sized companies, both public and private.

Over 85 percent of our revenues come from clients who continue to work with us from one year to the next to maintain the momentum for change and to continually improve bottom-line results they have achieved with our help. We pride ourselves on our fresh thinking. Our evolving ideas profoundly change the way most businesses think about competition.

Boston Consulting Group offers you an unparalleled opportunity for both personal and professional growth and development. No two experiences are alike and the skills you acquire will position you for success within and outside of BCG. BCG is staffed by consultants who combine industry experience with acute strategic and analytical skills. They come from a variety of backgrounds, reflecting the diversity of perspective we value. Most assignments involve one or more teams of three to six BCGers; specifically, the typical BCG team is made up of one to two partners, a project manager, and several consultants/associates who work with a similar group of client staff. The standard team combines consultants with relevant technical and industry backgrounds with others who have functional and strategic skills. We also strive to incorporate a mix of seniority and skills to balance the capabilities needed for the project with a sound budget plan. We create value by customizing our approach to complement client capabilities and the issues at hand. We believe consulting is a process, not a product. Our goal is to guide, develop, facilitate, and enrich each client's strategy development process. Our consulting practice depends on close teamwork between the client's organization and our staff. Clients often remark that a valuable and unusual aspect of working with BCG is the firm's commitment to joint discovery of insights and strategies, and to building the experience base and skills of its client's organization. Team interaction centers on intensive analysis of objective data and open discussion of logic and conclusions. This type of collaborative work is complemented by objective research of the competitive environment, including competitor analysis and capability benchmarking. Our teams work with client members from all levels of the organization in order to integrate our staff's strategy, operational, and industry experience with the client's knowledge of its particular situation, culture, and constraints. To ensure follow- through by a client, we find it vital to closely link BCG's senior managers with the highest level of the client's organization responsible for acting on the outcomes of our involvement. Individual assignments can last anywhere from two to twelve months or more, depending on the complexity of the challenges and the client's needs. We usually break each project into modular phases so that our clients see results well before the engagement's end. Assignments normally proceed through three stages over a period of several months: 1) identifying and analyzing opportunities for change and laying out different options for senior management to consider, 2) fleshing out the best options in order to create detailed action plans, and 3) assisting in execution. We believe that working with a client until results are assured is vital to their success.

The summer program is one of our most important sources for full-time candidates. The aim of the program is to give summer consultants and associates an opportunity to get to know our business and our people well. We expect the summer staff to assume responsibilities like those of new permanent consulting staff and to serve as full members of case teams. Many of our summer consultants and associates return to full-time positions with us after graduation. Boston Consulting Group is an Equal Opportunity Employer.
