As Functional Strategists, new staff are hard-aligned to a functional team. When filling out your application you will be asked to select functional teams you might be interested in working on.

IT Strategy Team

As part of our IT Strategy Team, new staff serve as functional IT experts on strategic assignments across multiple industries. This is a hard alignment.

In recent years, companies have invested heavily in Information Technology (IT) while trying to maintain competitive parity and support robust growth. In the current economic environment, it is difficult to gauge accurately the value derived from IT and to identify the pragmatic options that will allow a business to segment risk and drive growth, while simultaneously streamlining costs and improving performance. Without the right strategy, organizations have driven huge complexity into their IT infrastructures and created much confusion within their businesses. It should come as no surprise that executives remain unsure what exactly they are getting from the IT function and why their IT costs keep rising.

To approach these issues objectively, Booz & Company takes a revolutionary view of IT as a business operating within a business, and addresses a focused agenda:

• Structuring IT to support and enable business growth in line with the overall organization’s business strategy through initiatives that drive improved efficiency and effectiveness. This approach requires IT executives to engage their firms in a dialogue about how and where IT drives the business.
• Reducing IT cost and complexity, thereby minimizing risk and challenging IT to "flex" better with the organization rather than act as a fixed and increasing cost base.
• Increasing the transparency into IT costs and performance. This allows the business to understand the value of what it is buying and to facilitate proper economic trade-offs between IT and non-IT spending.
• Building IT into a business within a business. This means instituting world-class practices focused on pragmatic outcomes.

Operations Strategy Team

As part of our Operations Strategy Team, new staff serve as functional operations experts on strategic assignments across various industries.

Booz & Company provides a level of operations expertise unique among general management consulting firms. Our definition of operations includes product and process development, manufacturing, sourcing, distribution, sales force, customer care, and back-office operations. Combining deep functional skills with product, process, and service-industry experience, Booz & Company helps clients build competitive and differentiating operations capabilities that deliver value while allowing companies to operate profitably and invest in the future.

Client engagements include acquisition due diligence, operations diagnostic, corporate strategy, business-unit strategy, post-merger integration, implementation support, and continuous improvement. We apply lessons learned across industries to achieve and sustain step-change performance improvement. Booz & Company’s operations professionals bring an explicit, analytical understanding of strategic, tactical, and operational decisions and their impact on bottom-line performance.

Organization & Strategy Leadership Team

As part of our Organization & Strategy Leadership Team, new staff serve as functional organization & strategy leadership experts on strategic assignments across various industries.

When an organization doesn’t meet its stakeholders’ needs and expectations, the cause is rarely a misguided strategy or vision.

Instead, underperformance is more often the result of a misalignment of the organization’s strategy and its many complex, interacting parts. To address such situations, Booz & Company designs new operating models, based on market economics and customized to deliver against shareholder expectations, customer needs, and the relationships among the constituencies in the organization’s extended enterprise.

Tailored to meet a company’s particular situation, a new operating model typically includes any or all of the following elements:

• Market-like mechanisms for allocating scarce resources
• A decision rights framework that clearly identifies and motivates individuals to work, individually and together, toward strategic objectives
• Profit-accountable business units formed around distinct value propositions
• Support services based on market models to serve internal clients responsively and competitively
• Lean and strategically focused head offices
• Alliances and partnerships with best-in-class providers to leverage scale, access expertise, and increase flexibility
• Linkages among organizational elements that measure, inform, and motivate them to effectively work together to execute the firm’s strategy.
