Practice Area Profile
What You'll Do
- Diagnostics and strategy. What’s really preventing operations from performing? Where are the sources of dysfunction? How do they manifest on the shop floor? What’s the gap to best practice? What does good performance look like?
- Solution design. Where should we lean in and how should we lean in? What are the key priorities, the critical few that will move the needle in terms of performance?
- Change management. How do we effectively lead change in a manufacturing environment? Who are the main personas? What do they care about? What are their responsibilities? How are they rewarded? How do they perform vs the ones that you have managed directly?
- Business development. Pitches are key opportunities to display BCG’s excellence and expertise in domains that our clients care about. Credibility is key to get the client to recognize that we are the right team to help them deliver.
- Mentorship. Coaching our bright associates and consultants is key to the role. You will help them grow their knowledge of lean and operations to make them successful at delivering our engagements.
