Build Operate Transfer

Build-Operate-Transfer

What drives competitive advantage in today's world? Mastering digital capabilities at speed and at scale. Our Build-Operate-Transfer model enables companies to scale up capabilities fast—and deliver value from day one.

To help organizations rapidly scale new capabilities and ways of working, BCG has developed a delivery model anchored in enablement: Build-Operate-Transfer (BOT). With BOT, we don't just help you solve your toughest problems. We enable you from day one—working shoulder to shoulder with your teams to build company assets and operate at maximum efficiency—with the objective to transfer capabilities so you can thrive independently at the heart of our commitment.

Build-Operate-Transfer helps organizations build for the future—achieving short-term performance while building competitive advantage.


Our Build-Operate-Transfer Approach

Build-Operate-Transfer is the perfect solution for companies that are ready to launch an ambitious transform—at speed and at scale—but lack the necessary capabilities. BCG’s Build-Operate-Transfer consulting team will help your company develop the capabilities needed to control your own trajectory. Our approach will help you enhance your operations to:

  • Follow clear business objectives in a digitally disrupted environment
  • Upskill your employees
  • Acquire in-demand capabilities, despite a market shortage for talent
  • Simplify your decision processes and focus on value
  • Accelerate your time to market
  • Engage all employees in your company-wide transformation

The breadth of our Build-Operate-Transfer services, products, and talent pool allows us to support your digital transformation from strategic inception through implementation. We draw on our network of more than 6,000 experts—including those from BCG X, our tech build and design unit—as each unique situation demands. Because we are not an IT-service provider, we operate with tech neutrality and bring no conflicts of interest to the table as we help you evaluate and select emerging technologies.
