Below are links to some of our recent thought leadership campaigns:

Managing Performance Today and Tomorrow

Booz & Company has produced a new publication on Global Talent Innovation, based on the recent Booz & Company event on the topic, held in June 2009. The publication provides a synopsis of the key discussion areas and insights arising from the event.

During a recession it is tempting to believe that people are so glad to have a job there is no reason to worry about retaining and motivating them, right? Wrong.

Booz & Company’s breakfast briefing was attended by a select group of leading organisations in various sectors including financial services, energy, media, leisure and the charity and public sectors. Sylvia Ann Hewlett, founder of the Center for Work-Life Policy and Co-leader of Global Talent Innovation, Booz & Company, presented her research on the danger of maintaining conventional assumptions during tough times and shared new insights about the youngest and oldest talent cohorts – Generation Y and the Baby Boomers. The ensuing discussion explored the impact of the recession on top talent. What talent challenges are organisations facing? What innovative responses are being adopted to retain and motivate top talent?

M-payments

Booz & Company has produced a new publication on the future of m-payments.

In November 2007 Booz & Company hosted a discussion on the future of m-payments. Since then, the technology has been proven and trials have moved on to selective implementation (e.g. NFC), with some companies now working towards mass market offerings before the end of 2010. However, the jury is still out on what the winning value proposition(s) is/are, the network solution to be employed, and the target scale and sources of revenue and profit to be achieved. Against this background, Booz & Company hosted a second cross industry discussion in London on 12 March 2009, addressing the topic of emerging value propositions and profitability (or lack of) in the m-payments environment.

The publication provides a synopsis of the key discussion areas and insights arising from the meeting. We also provide a perspective of how Booz & Company sees future progress in m-payments.

European Rail Freight Survey 2009

Whilst European rail freight has managed to benefit over-proportionately from the dynamic growth in the economy and the increase in world trade over recent years, the sector is now recording an unprecedented collapse in demand due to the global economic crisis.

Practical Visionaries

To achieve a low carbon world, there is widespread acceptance of the need to act – and to act quickly. In the UK, energy goals are widely understood and a target framework has already been established which follows the plans of the European Union’s executive Commission for how member states should share an overall objective to get one fifth of all energy demand from renewable resources by 2020.

New Demographics

Population demographics are changing profoundly in the UK and across the industrialised world. With longevity increasing steadily, employers, policymakers and individuals need to consider the implications of having increasing numbers of elderly people in society and adjust their thinking and behaviour to meet the challenges this new world presents.

The ’New Demographics’ Roundtables are a series of events hosted by Booz & Company and Alexis Cleveland, HM Government Customer Group Director for Older People, and attended by a diverse group of experts and interested parties who meet to exchange their perspectives on the ‘ageing agenda’ in the UK.
