Practice Area Profile

In today's hyper-competitive business environment, public companies have a 1-in-3 chance of ceasing to exist in their current form over the next five years, up from a 1-in-20 chance 50 years ago. BCG's Transform practice - our turnaround, restructuring and transformation unit - helps business leaders deliver rapid, visible performance improvements in the short term while strengthening their organizations and positioning them to win in the years ahead.

Since BCG's establishment, we have supported hundreds of turnaround situations, and BCG Transform builds further on this strong heritage. It helps clients deliver rapid, visible performance improvements in the short term, while strengthening their organization and positioning them to win in the future - funneling the full breadth of our capabilities into a specialized offering tailored for special, high-urgency situations. This includes companies in stagnation or crisis and at points of discontinuity (such as change in new leadership and pressure from activist investors).

BCG Transform is a fully dedicated senior expert team on the ground, combining experienced BCG consultants with experts and senior advisors with previous proven CEO and C-suite experience; working shoulder to shoulder with clients. BCG Transform is able to take-on operational roles at the client and to provide interim management services through our external network when needed. It focuses on rigorous action and rapid execution to deliver immediate results.
