How is #GenAI transforming #procurement? BMW, with the expertise of my colleagues at Boston Consulting Group (BCG), BCG X and BCG Platinion alongside Amazon Web Services (AWS) is leveraging this technology to streamline processes and improve supplier interactions. By ensuring a secure and scalable integration, this collaboration is already delivering meaningful operational improvements. It will be interesting to see how this innovation shapes not just procurement but potentially other areas of business as well. What other areas of business could benefit from GenAI's potential?

Dealmakers in 2024 are balancing both challenges and opportunities. On one hand, market volatility, evolving regulations, and geopolitical tensions are complicating things. Yet, on the other, inflation is stabilizing, and private equity firms are holding record levels of dry powder ($2.1 trillion at the end of September), ready to act. Curious about how these dynamics are shaping the M&A landscape? Read more in BCG’s 2024 M&A Report. https://lnkd.in/diRyKNF9 #BCGMAReport

The latest edition of the BCG Transform and Special Situations Index, a transformation and restructuring sentiment study developed by BCG Transform's Special Situations team, indicates increasing pressure on European companies to transform, particularly in regions such as Germany, Austria, and the Nordic countries. With high interest rates, volatile energy prices, and low consumer trust, management teams need to act decisively and proactively. The authors also outlined their recommendations on how company leaders and decision-makers should navigate these headwinds. ​ https://on.bcg.com/3KMgicR Renaud Montupet, Jochen Schönfelder, Nicolai Cummerow, Maxime Zarka, Dominik Bill BCG on Transformation #restructuring​ #businessturnaround​ #businesstransformation​ #Europe​ #EuropeanEconomy

Have global business leaders been napping for the last 30 years? Yes, says Nikolaus Lang, Chair of BCG’s Center for Geopolitics, in his recent TED@BCG talk — or at least, they have been when it comes to geopolitics. Nikolaus explains how the emergence of a multipolar world has fundamentally changed business realities, and will continue to do so. The companies that succeed will be those whose leaders learn to build their geopolitical muscle. https://lnkd.in/eVVymyWt #TedatBCG #BCGCenterforGeopolitics #Geopolitics

Climate change isn’t just an environmental crisis—it’s a massive economic challenge. In collaboration with Cambridge Judge Business School and climaTRACES Lab, BCG's latest research reveals the stark economic implications of climate inaction and the urgent need for mitigation efforts. Key Takeaways: • Staying on our current trajectory could lead to global temperature rises of over 3°C and result in a loss of up to 22% of global cumulative GDP by 2100. • Investing less than 2% of cumulative GDP in climate mitigation efforts could limit warming to less than 2°C and avoid up to 13% in economic losses. • By allocating less than 1% of GDP to climate adaptation, leaders could prevent a further 4% of GDP losses while securing a more resilient future. Taking climate action today is not just about reducing emissions—it’s about safeguarding economic stability, creating opportunities for growth, and ensuring long-term sustainability. The time to act is now. A big thank you to my fellow authors Amine Benayad, Lars Holm, Hamid Maher, Edmond Rhys Jones, Sylvain Santamarta, Annika Zawadzki, and Kamiar Mohaddes for your collaboration on these critical insights. Read the full article and explore how we can collectively tackle this challenge: https://lnkd.in/eunFugQb #ClimateAction #Sustainability #Climate #NetZero #ClimateChange

Cooperation makes us stronger in all aspects of life, whether in business or society. At Roland Berger, we champion the power of teamwork, drawing strength from diverse cultures and languages. Individually, we can achieve success, but it's through embracing diverse perspectives, backgrounds, and talent across borders that we truly thrive. Personally, I am grateful for the enriching experiences the European Union has offered me. From international youth exchanges to lasting friendships, these experiences have broadened my horizons and deepened my understanding of different approaches. Let's nurture that spirit of cooperation and unity! Together, let's make our voices heard by voting for peace and democracy in Europe. #UseYourVote #4Europe
