We are not waiting for tomorrow... We are building it! Cheers to BCG X on our second birthday! Amazing to think how far we have come in just two years!   As Boston Consulting Group's tech build and design unit with 3,000 data scientists, engineers, product managers, and growth architects, we build new disruptive solutions, products, services, and businesses with ambitions to disrupt the present and create the future.

Technology is only powerful if it is applied where and when it matters. #GenerativeAI is no different. To capture its value in Operations, it should be deployed as a digital transformation, not merely a technological advance. This calls for focusing on the business challenge, not the technology itself. At McKinsey’s Innovation and Learning Centers, industry leaders experience real use cases and the impact and value of #genAI. Our risk-free environment encourages exploration of the challenges and opportunities that come with digital transformation.

🎉Happy Birthday, BCG X🎉!   It’s hard to believe it's only been two years since BCG X was founded.    As Boston Consulting Group (BCG)'s tech build, data and design unit, we build new disruptive solutions, products, services, and businesses with ambitions to disrupt the present and create the future. We are entrepreneurs, innovators, and builders at heart. BCG X is an AI and GenAI powerhouse. By bringing AI and GenAI to the center of some of the most iconic transformations led by BCG, we contributed to 20% of BCG’s revenue in 2024 from AI and GenAI.    What we've achieved together in 2024 is truly outstanding. While it’s impossible to capture everything, here are just a few of my personal highlights: - Shaping BCG X culture through initiatives like Xconnect which reward initiative, dedication, and engagement of our people around the world - Partnering with the World Economic Forum on research around global retail investment trends - Creating real at-scale business impact with leading clients across industries including finance, banking, and wealth management which are so close to my heart (check out the stories here: https://on.bcg.com/4119BwK)  - Being recognized by Forrester and IDC as market leaders for our AI and GenAI expertise - Collaborating with leading tech innovators such as Anthropic, AWS, Google, IBM, Microsoft, OpenAI, Salesforce, and SAP - Establishing cutting-edge science partnerships with Merck and NASA Ames Research Center - Expanding our intellectual property with new patents and research publications in prestigious scientific outlets.   Every day, I feel proud and privileged to co-create BCG X—a company of the brightest tech, scientific, and business minds.
