Our focus is on helping clients on where to go—strategy—and how to get there—operations, organization, technology and mergers and acquisitions.
We look at a business from a chief executive's perspective, as an integrated coherent whole. We help management make the big decisions: on strategy, operations, mergers and acquisitions, technology and organization. If they want, we then help translate decisions into actions to get results—which may mean fundamentally changing the company.
How do we do it? We start by defining the right question; then we dig deep into the numbers as the basis for creating solutions. Bain people in Paris and among our network work across a wide range of industries—with large corporations, private equity firms and start-ups. We are pragmatic and open-minded; that's why we find solutions that others miss. But we realize that helping an organization change requires more than just a recommendation, so we try to put ourselves in our clients' shoes and focus on practical actions.
