The Boston Consulting Group opened its first Nordic office in Stockholm in 1989. Since then the business has grown rapidly. In response, BCG has established offices in other Nordic capitals: Helsinki (1994), Oslo (1996), and Copenhagen (1998).
Located in the heart of the city in an 18th-century building that is adjacent to the Queen's castle Amalienborg, BCG Copenhagen enjoys surroundings that are both spectacular and historic.
BCG Copenhagen has experienced an annual growth rate of 20 to 30 percent, and today serves leading regional and international companies involved in consumer goods, retail, industrial goods, technology, communications and health care.
As part of BCG Nordic's integrated system, BCG Copenhagen's staff has constant interaction with their regional colleagues and share opportunities to transfer among the offices. This knowledge and experience is also disseminated through BCG's global network of practice areas as part of BCG Nordic's contribution to the cutting-edge thinking for which the company is known.
BCG's Ambassador Program provides the opportunity for our consultants to transfer, typically for 12 months, to other BCG offices around the world. Consultants from BCG Copenhagen have transferred to offices such as San Francisco, Chicago, Atlanta, and Kuala Lumpur.
There are ample opportunities for consultants to take initiative and demonstrate entrepreneurship, thanks to the small size of the office, the informal atmosphere and limited hierarchies, and the high degree of respect for the individual.
Reflecting our commitment to the Nordic community, BCG Copenhagen also engages in not-for-profit work for organizations that our employees strongly support, including The Danish Cancer Society and Save the Children.
To spice up life outside work, the office organizes several local annual events and Friday Bar. Furthermore, the Nordic system organizes outings for all Nordic staff twice a year.

In a joint effort, BCG and the Danish Cancer Society developed the organization's 2015 fundraising strategy. This plan was created to ensure that the organization could reach an ambitious revenue target by 2015.
The strategy development focused on fundraising from private persons, businesses, and foundations. Through interviews with private persons, businesses, foundations, and other not-for-profit organizations, as well as focus groups and a large quantitative survey of private persons' motivation for making charitable donations, the fundraising strategy was developed and outlined for each type of customer. The Danish Cancer Society put the strategy into practice, and has already implemented the first strategic changes.
