BCG Weekly Brief: Can China Reach Its Bold New Climate Goals?
To BCG’s network around the world,
Happy new year. I hope you were able to enjoy a relaxing break—or will soon, for those in China. It’s been my routine for quite a while to start off the new year with a visit to China, checking in with our teams there, meeting with clients, and learning about the latest trends in a part of the world that has changed amazingly fast.
It’s disappointing not to be able...
Year-End Weekly Brief: Harnessing the Three Powers of 2020
To BCG’s network around the world,
Several months ago, Ed Bastian, CEO of Delta Air Lines, shared a great observation he heard from our mutual friend and the chairman of Delta’s board Frank Blake: Crises don’t build character; crises reveal character. I’ve been thinking about that notion a lot as we head toward the end of this extremely tragic and tumultuous year.
My colleague Marin Gjaja, whom I’ve...

BCG Weekly Brief: Future-Ready Companies Outperform Today
To BCG’s network around the world,
Back in 2017, Fortune CEO Alan Murray and I were having breakfast when he told me how much he wished he could devise a better method for predicting the long-term success of a company—one that would go beyond the traditional peer survey approach.
With that challenge in mind, I reached out to my colleagues Martin Reeves and Gerry Hansell, who created an audacious solution. They used artificial intelligence...

How to Manage a Presidential Transition
FEATURED INSIGHTS
NOVEMBER 2020
The transition to a new presidential term is a massive undertaking—and one of the key hallmarks of US democracy. Effective governance on a national scale depends on a smooth White House transition process and, just as important, on federal agencies’ ability to adapt and react to the demands of a new term.

Weekly Brief: Can This Economic Recovery Last?
This week, I’m pleased to share with you some highlights from “Why the Global Economy Is Recovering Faster Than Expected,” a terrific recent Harvard Business Review article by my colleagues at the BCG Henderson Institute.
Despite the lack of control we have over the virus, we’ve seen a much stronger-than-expected economic recovery. What has driven the gap between expectations and reality, and can the recovery last?
When the pandemic—and ensuing...

BCG – Leading with Humanity in Uncertain Times
No matter where you are in the world, you will undoubtedly hear plenty about the US election today. But in 2016—after the presidential election in the US and the Brexit referendum in the UK—I learned not to try to predict where the votes will land. So I’ll save any thoughts about what happens next for the coming weeks. Instead, I’d like to focus on leading our colleagues through these challenging times.
This year has turned people’s lives upside-down...

Building Advantage in Adversity
To BCG’s network around the world,
I have conversations with CEOs all the time, and many are feeling better about the business environment than they would have predicted six months ago. But lots of organizations still face significant challenges, along with the uncertainties entering 2021.
The data bears this out. Back in March, as COVID-19 began spreading rapid-fire around the world, global stock markets sank. Key indices lost 25% to 50% of their value in a...
