BCG is a leading strategy consultancy recognized globally for advising businesses, governments, administrations, and other public organizations. We have a strong track record in the public sector, built not only on our deep expertise in public sector matters but also on our ability to leverage extensive knowledge from private sector industries and functional practice areas. With this approach, we aim to expand our collaboration with the EU Commission and other EU institutions.

Practice Area

 

BCG’s Public Sector practice helps governments and agencies in their efforts to maximize public- policy outcomes. Our work with government clients offers unique opportunities to shape the future of public sector reform across the world. We work with some of the most senior and influential people in government all over the world. The global Public Sector Practice was established in September 2009 so it is one of BCG’s newest and fastest growing practices. Although the Public Sector is an industry practice area, our value proposition to public sector clients draws deeply on capabilities right across our functional and industry practices - such as energy, health care, consumer (transport), organisation, corporate development (privatisation), operations and digital business models (Digital Ventures).
