Industry Challenges
Globally, as well as in Russia and CIS, government is one of the most complex and challenging sectors in which to work. It can also be one of the most rewarding.
Public-sector organizations, around the world and locally, face many similar issues. For example, they are faced with issues such as:
How to respond to growing pressure to get more out of static or reduced funding
How to balance environmental and economic needs while responding to climate change and budget pressures
How to deliver effective and efficient social services to changing populations and demographics
Finding the key to organizational change in some of the largest and most complex organizations in the world
How to develop industrial policies grounded in the reality of today’s business environment
BCG competencies
The Boston Consulting Group's Public Sector practice works with governments throughout the world to tackle these challenges. Our capabilities are organized primarily around three main topics:
Our Lean Productive Government approach adapts private-sector lean methods to the public sector. We have applied these tools across many sectors, including justice, health, welfare, defense, transportation, and education.
Our public-sector sustainability and energy work brings together our deep knowledge of the energy industry, our strong public-sector capabilities, and our wealth of social impact-sustainability experience.
Our Information Technology (IT) in government capability helps governments achieve more from their IT investments by, for example, delivering major programs on time and within budget, and by improving sourcing strategies.
BCG's global Public Sector network ensures we have access to the latest ideas and best practices, covering a wide range of topics around the world. Our Public Sector global leadership team of 20 partners is supported by more than 100 additional partners.
