Recognizing water's true value is crucial in preventing a future crisis. According to the UN, global water demand is rising by 1% each year, putting both developed and developing regions at increasing risk of water shortages. In partnership with OceanWell, BCG developed the Water Value Framework — a tool designed to help better understand water’s full value, drive smarter decisions, and promote more efficient use and investment. Learn more about how accurately valuing water can create a more sustainable future: https://on.bcg.com/4iGo5Yw

It may be early days in the #AI and #GenAI revolution, but it’s high time #CEOs get “transformation-fit” with a workout that includes using the technology every day and staying current on important developments. Consider that CEOs could have been experimenting with off-the-shelf #AI agents as early as last May – well before mentions of agents dramatically increased on earnings calls in Q4. Read more about the benefits of a CEO AI Workout – and four essentials for getting started. https://on.bcg.com/4bTu4qR

Averages are often used to inform critical decisions in business, healthcare, and beyond. But relying solely on averages can lead to misleading conclusions. In a thought-provoking TED@BCG Talk, BCG’s Sharon Zicherman explores why averages don’t always tell the full story—and how a more nuanced approach to data can improve decision-making and risk assessment. Watch the full TED Conferences talk here: https://lnkd.in/e3AGhvt2 #TedatBCG

From roads and seaports to data centers and energy systems, private investment is playing a growing role in developing critical infrastructure. Over the past 10 years, private infrastructure assets under management have more than quadrupled, to a record $1.3 trillion. And investment in digital infrastructure is showing especially strong growth, thanks to demand for AI and cloud computing. Investment in data centers, for example, reached $50 billion in 2024, up from just $11 billion in 2020. Despite the current macroeconomic uncertainty, the market is regaining momentum. And deal activity – although still below peak levels – is expected to increase. BCG’s Infrastructure Strategy 2025 explores how investors are adapting to a maturing industry, and the opportunities ahead. https://lnkd.in/eRbZj5Ck

Every product holds a story, and for Nicholas Goad, who leads Merch AI by BCG X, it was his early experiences in his grandparents’ furniture store that led to a passion for helping retailers with inventory and pricing. Merch AI enables retailers to harness big data to optimize product mixes for each store, make granular, data-driven decisions, and stay ahead of the competition with real-time insights. The result is a notable reduction in cost of goods sold(2%-3%) and a boost in sales (2%-5%). Watch Nicholas’ story and discover how this innovative approach is shaping the future of retail: https://on.bcg.com/41U2u8j

For most leaders, cutting costs is straightforward. Preventing those same costs—or new ones—from rising again over time is far harder. BCG surveyed nearly 2,100 business leaders worldwide, all of whom had undergone a cost transformation in the past five years. The results are sobering: 🟢Costs are the top organizational priority 🟢 75% say their cost program didn’t hit its goals 🟢 Many have launched programs repeatedly—adding stress and eroding management credibility Discover how organizations can break the cycle and stop costs creeping back: https://on.bcg.com/428G1W1
