BOSTON—Boston Consulting Group (BCG) has been named a Leader in customer experience (CX) strategy consulting services in a new report by Forrester Research in its evaluation, The Forrester Wave™: Customer Experience Strategy Consulting Services, Q4 2024. The report recognized BCG for making “significant investments in its practice” and “…infusing AI and genAI into its long-standing CX offerings…”

In their evaluation of CX strategy consulting service providers, Forrester researched, analyzed, and scored the most significant ones. Providers were classified into three categories: Leaders, Strong Performers, and Contenders. BCG emerged as one of four vendors identified as a Leader in CX strategy consulting services.

For us, this recognition reinforces our reputation as a trusted advisor for businesses seeking innovative, customer-centric growth strategies.”

BCG’s highlights from the report include:

It shows higher-than-average willingness to co-invest with clients.”
• “BCG earned many superior ratings for its current offering, from the base elements for an engagement — such as the marketplace analysis and customer research that support vision development — through aligning, training, and shaping the culture of its clients’ employees. The depth and breadth of the MIDAS framework and BCG X’s growing technology support demonstrate ongoing commitment to this practice.”
• “Reference customers appreciate BCG’s subject matter, industry, and overall business expertise. Multiple customers praised its ability to understand their firm and contextualize recommendations in light of their business goals and end customers’ needs.”
