**Who We Are**:
Boston Consulting Group partners with leaders in business and society to tackle their most important challenges and capture their greatest opportunities. BCG was the pioneer in business strategy when it was founded in 1963. Today, we work closely with clients to embrace a transformational approach aimed at benefiting all stakeholders—empowering organizations to grow, build sustainable competitive advantage, and drive positive societal impact.

Our diverse, global teams bring deep industry and functional expertise and a range of perspectives that question the status quo and spark change. BCG delivers solutions through leading-edge management consulting, technology and design, and corporate and digital ventures. We work in a uniquely collaborative model across the firm and throughout all levels of the client organization, fueled by the goal of helping our clients thrive and enabling them to make the world a better place.

**Practice Area Profile**:
The Operations (OPS) practice area is one of BCG's largest practice areas. We serve ten broad topics: Program Management & Implementation, Cost & Efficiency, Lean Manufacturing, Lean Services, Procurement, Operational Transformation, Customer Service OPS, Supply Chain Management & Logistics, Research & Development, and Large Capital Project Management. We help companies think beyond the limits of their traditional business models, choose where and how they should add value, and reorganise to defend themselves against new threats and seize new opportunities.
