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.
