Strategy Enablement Center

Many companies—even high performers—don’t have all the broad-based strategy skills they need to generate sustained, profitable growth. The problem is that the process of strategy development and execution is often detached from the organization at large, driven by a handful of people within the strategy function. As a result, in many cases, strategy is not fully integrated and owned by the company as a whole and thus can’t unfold to its full potential.

BCG’s Strategy Enablement Center can help improve a company’s strategy—and the value it creates—by enhancing the strategic capabilities of its people and organization. Each enablement partnership begins with a maturity assessment that informs the development of a customized program. Because the best strategists learn by doing, BCG takes a hands-on, highly experiential approach to enablement that draws on a rich and tested inventory of techniques and programs:

• The BCG Strategy Academy: an immersive multiday program delivered by BCG’s global experts
• A curriculum of more than 20 modules—for example, scenario and risk assessment, creativity, and customer demand evolution—tailored to each clients’ strategic needs
• Coaching and mentoring programs with focused one-on-one support for key team members
• Enhancement of the strategic planning processes
• An organizational review of the Strategy function
• Strategy cosourcing, forming a long-term strategic partnership with a senior BCG team

With help from the Strategy Enablement Center, company leaders learn to sharpen their ability to think strategically, allocate scarce resources effectively in the face of competing demands, and continually innovate their products, services, and business models.
