WEBVTT 1 00:00:06.810 --> 00:00:10.650 - BCG TURN is our approach and methodology 2 00:00:10.650 --> 00:00:13.740 for rapid full company transformation. 3 00:00:13.740 --> 00:00:15.120 We created TURN, 4 00:00:15.120 --> 00:00:17.250 because we found that our clients were increasingly 5 00:00:17.250 --> 00:00:19.860 in situations of facing existential pressures, 6 00:00:19.860 --> 00:00:24.660 either externally focused or internally focused. 7 00:00:24.660 --> 00:00:27.630 BCG TURN is a methodology that allows us 8 00:00:27.630 --> 00:00:30.300 to work shoulder to shoulder with our clients, 9 00:00:30.300 --> 00:00:33.330 helping them improve the business in a comprehensive way. 10 00:00:33.330 --> 00:00:36.090 Technology companies have been undergoing 11 00:00:36.090 --> 00:00:37.320 massive transformation 12 00:00:37.320 --> 00:00:39.810 over the course of the past couple of decades. 13 00:00:39.810 --> 00:00:41.010 This went from an industry, 14 00:00:41.010 --> 00:00:43.800 which was primarily driven by growth, 15 00:00:43.800 --> 00:00:47.430 as an industry, as a sector, grew at double digits, 16 00:00:47.430 --> 00:00:50.396 to now one which is much more faced, 17 00:00:50.396 --> 00:00:54.330 focused on return on investment, 18 00:00:54.330 --> 00:00:56.010 running efficient operations, 19 00:00:56.010 --> 00:01:00.780 while still continuing to innovate and invest for growth. 20 00:01:00.780 --> 00:01:04.470 One interesting fact is that the technology sector 21 00:01:04.470 --> 00:01:08.430 has been one of the most targeted by shareholder activists, 22 00:01:08.430 --> 00:01:10.601 which are obviously a catalyst 23 00:01:10.601 --> 00:01:12.270 for full a company transformation. 24 00:01:12.270 --> 00:01:15.210 TURN programs differ in three ways. 25 00:01:15.210 --> 00:01:19.110 Number one, the full company is in scope. 26 00:01:19.110 --> 00:01:22.590 That means that any lever for value creation, 27 00:01:22.590 --> 00:01:24.390 that may be relevant to the company, 28 00:01:24.390 --> 00:01:27.870 from organization redesign to growth, 29 00:01:27.870 --> 00:01:31.110 to even working with the balance sheet and working capital, 30 00:01:31.110 --> 00:01:32.130 is in scope. 31 00:01:32.130 --> 00:01:36.060 Number two, BCG works shoulder to shoulder with our clients, 32 00:01:36.060 --> 00:01:39.240 often helping them make decisions. 33 00:01:39.240 --> 00:01:41.970 Literally potentially even staffing roles, 34 00:01:41.970 --> 00:01:45.477 that the client may have on their senior team 35 00:01:45.477 --> 00:01:46.830 or as a chief transformation officer. 36 00:01:46.830 --> 00:01:47.940 Number three, 37 00:01:47.940 --> 00:01:51.090 we are accountable and incentivized by results. 38 00:01:51.090 --> 00:01:54.810 We want our clients to realize the benefits of the program, 39 00:01:54.810 --> 00:01:58.290 and for BCG to actually have skin in the game. 40 00:01:58.290 --> 00:02:00.540 What this means is we don't 41 00:02:00.540 --> 00:02:02.497 shake your hand, and walk away, and just say, 42 00:02:02.497 --> 00:02:03.960 "Good luck with the program," 43 00:02:03.960 --> 00:02:06.120 but we're actually there working with you, 44 00:02:06.120 --> 00:02:08.910 until you realize the benefits of the program. 45 00:02:08.910 --> 00:02:11.400 People think about TURN, 46 00:02:11.400 --> 00:02:13.110 and their first thought 47 00:02:13.110 --> 00:02:17.280 may be companies that are in financial distress. 48 00:02:17.280 --> 00:02:22.196 In truth, this can apply to a broad suite of companies, 49 00:02:22.196 --> 00:02:24.510 which could include companies, 50 00:02:24.510 --> 00:02:28.200 which are still growing at 10% plus annually, 51 00:02:28.200 --> 00:02:30.750 but have a significant opportunity 52 00:02:30.750 --> 00:02:33.630 to improve their operations and effectiveness. 53 00:02:33.630 --> 00:02:36.480 This could come from making decisions faster, 54 00:02:36.480 --> 00:02:37.683 as a senior team. 55 00:02:38.572 --> 00:02:41.550 This could come from having better connectivity to customers 56 00:02:41.550 --> 00:02:44.370 and understanding what's top of mind for those customers. 57 00:02:44.370 --> 00:02:46.260 This could involve things like setting up 58 00:02:46.260 --> 00:02:49.440 a shared services center in a low cost location. 59 00:02:49.440 --> 00:02:51.150 The business outcomes are everything 60 00:02:51.150 --> 00:02:56.150 from improving organizational efficiency and effectiveness. 61 00:02:56.220 --> 00:02:59.340 So making decisions faster, 62 00:02:59.340 --> 00:03:00.900 having better connectivity 63 00:03:00.900 --> 00:03:03.930 to the frontline and to customers, 64 00:03:03.930 --> 00:03:08.880 all the way through to realizing cost efficiencies. 65 00:03:08.880 --> 00:03:10.380 And so typically we're seeing 66 00:03:10.380 --> 00:03:14.310 on the order of a hundred million dollars of cost, 67 00:03:14.310 --> 00:03:17.100 annual operating expense reduction. 68 00:03:17.100 --> 00:03:18.090 Plus it could be, 69 00:03:18.090 --> 00:03:19.290 it could be significantly more, 70 00:03:19.290 --> 00:03:21.750 it could be in the hundreds of millions of dollars. 71 00:03:21.750 --> 00:03:23.940 Companies are able to reinvest in the business, 72 00:03:23.940 --> 00:03:27.420 particularly in technology where innovation is so paramount. 73 00:03:27.420 --> 00:03:28.890 And so we can see them 74 00:03:28.890 --> 00:03:32.760 reinvesting into core R and D functions. 75 00:03:32.760 --> 00:03:36.120 We can see them reinvesting into areas like marketing, 76 00:03:36.120 --> 00:03:39.180 which can drive a significant amount of upside. 77 00:03:39.180 --> 00:03:43.050 In addition, we can also see them having more cash, 78 00:03:43.050 --> 00:03:45.950 in order to return to shareholders in one form or fashion.
