In most firms, the organizational ‘muscle’ for transformation is not trained. The firm’s top management often has to deal with the facts that there is a lack of experienced transformation leaders and struggle with the decision, if an interim or permanent role is required. /
Additionally, the leading digital experts cannot be found or hired neither in corporates nor in consulting – as these rare talent are outliers to traditional corporate and consulting settings and can hardly be attracted. We know that you are pros regarding your business with in-depth domain-specific knowledge – and we appreciate this. At the same time, we are pros in leading the grand transformations of our time and understand how to do this successfully in an integrated fashion. Our bluegain teams comprise experienced transformation leaders with top management experience and our distinguished experts in senior manager roles have profound domain-specific expertise in success-critical competences in digitalization, sustainability and business models.
Transformation is unique. In contrast to the playbook approach of restructuring projects, transformation is all about identifying a unique transformation to the future/ competitive edge, which ideally only this organization can take. /
Digital technologies can create business and social impact at scale, but technology is (only) a means to an end. As technologies must become an integral part of the company’s value creation system, the specifics of a company’s businesses need to be understood The selection process of software vendors and system integrators can hardly be neutral, when you find a “gold partner” badge on their website. It is important to separate a neutral vendor selection on a software (platform) level from the question, who deploys afterward.
Transformation is about horizontal orchestrating and integrating various domains: Transformation requires both developing a guiding north star and transformation strategy (transformation strategy ≠ business strategy) and also driving and steering execution/ implementation effectively. /
Successful transformational leaders combines hard, analytical and conceptional skills with soft, emotional intelligence skills to successfully win hearts, drive buy-in and create a movement. We advocate for an integrated approach as digital, sustainability, and business model transformations are converging and have mutual dependencies.

- / We partner with Top-Management Teams to future-proof the organization through transformation by carving a unique path for the organization to the future to regain or gain competitive edge

We provide trusted Advice because we are and act neutral and unbiased and only in the best interest of our customers; we do not have vendor or system integrator dependencies
- / We remain your transformation partner also during implementation however we stop at the level/depth of neutral vendor selection (system integrators and software vendors); we accompany the implementation of the transformation strategy, but we do not implement software and platforms on our own
- / We provide quality assurance towards the Board of Directors and act as sounding partner to top executives and transformation leaders.
We provide independent validation and Quality Assurance for our customers
- / You get from us a Board-/Decision-ready transformation strategy plus execution.

- / We develop an integrated transformation strategy and implement it considering the convergence of digital transformation, sustainability transformation, and business model transformation// We believe in the convergence of the three grand transformations (digital, business model, sustainabiliy) to create lasting impact.
- / We work with cross-functional, mixed teams, e.g. business, digital and IT to foster cross-domain thinking both in strategy and execution; integration of business and IT must always be looked at in an integrated manner
- / We combine data-/fact-based and analytical approach, leveraging cutting-edge research, for a precise transformation strategy and the human-aspect of transformation, namely winning minds and hearts, to create a movement
