In our era of accelerating change, it’s never been more important to align your people to strategy and maximize the potential of new technologies. As a leading management and technology consultancy, we have the expertise and experience to help you do both.

Today’s people leaders face two challenging disconnects. Both, if not addressed, can jeopardize long-term business performance.

The first disconnect comes from the very tools revolutionizing business. Technology, and particularly AI, is evolving at an exponential pace. Yet people strategies often move in a slower, more linear way. This widening gap is not a theoretical risk: it is an urgent challenge with real business consequences.

The second disconnect stems from the evolution of business strategy. Aligning the workforce with overarching strategy has always been a challenge, but the shifts in roles and skills and the need for adaptability have made people alignment even tougher.

At BearingPoint, we see firsthand that the organizations that thrive not only invest in new technologies and strategies, but invest equally in their people - ensuring readiness, capability, and motivation to keep pace with change. Our 'People Impact' approach helps you achieve this.

Consequences of people disconnects

The two people disconnects – technology and strategy – manifest themselves in clear patterns that hinder effective strategy delivery and transformation:

  1. Technology reshaping roles and cultures - without guidance, training and involvement, the sudden arrival of new technologies can make employees feel lost.
  2. Large projects failing due to low engagement - without the acceptance and active participation of individuals and teams, even well-resourced transformations can under-deliver.
  3. Workforce transformation leading to critical skill gaps – significant skill and demographic shifts require a systematic approach to workforce planning and skill management to avoid talent gaps and loss of critical expertise.
  4. Strategies and Target Operating Models not translating to employee level – without thorough operationalization and clear stakeholder-focused communication and enablement, strategic intent remains abstract.

These pressures are intensified by AI’s rapid emergence. Without a connected people strategy, organizations risk disconnection - between technology and people, between generations, and between daily work and strategic goals.

Why choose BearingPoint?

We bring together management and technology consulting to ensure your people strategy is fully integrated with your  transformation. Our interdisciplinary approach connects people and tech, culture, leadership, and organizational design with data-driven insights – creating an environment where human and technological potential can be realized together.

Transformation through three lenses

We encourage our clients to view lasting transformation through three connected lenses:

  • The personal perspective – Employees who understand their roles, skills and strengths, see clear development paths, and feel empowered to take responsibility, will actively shape change rather than simply react to it.
  • The organizational perspective – Structures, culture, and technology must be developed as a connected system. This enables teams to work autonomously, leadership to build trust, and learning and feedback to become daily practice.
  • The strategic perspective – Change efforts must be anchored in overarching business strategy and steering, with measurable goals that unite economic success with enduring positive culture and successful workforce.

Too often, these perspectives are treated separately. We help you connect them. That way, all your people understand their roles, see their contributions to strategy, and can deliver on their roles with confidence.

Our methodology

People, organization and strategy make your business unique. At BearingPoint we propose tailor-made solutions. Everything we develop takes into consideration your particular profile, needs and goals as an organization. We adopt a proven, systemic methodology:

  • Mobilize - together with you, we build a shared understanding of your goals, the current situation, and the “why” behind your transformation. Using a variety of methods including system thinking and design thinking, we define the conditions for success and the KPIs needed to measure progress.
  • Sense - by leveraging AI, structured assessments, and human-centered methods, we pinpoint your organization’s maturity level across dimensions that include learning culture, trust, and participation, identifying the most critical gaps and leverage points.
  • Act - together, we design and implement targeted measures - both quick wins and deeper structural changes - that improve leadership, culture as well as processes, and skills. All of these are directly linked to your strategic priorities.
  • Measure - we track both qualitative and quantitative impact indicators. This ensures that the changes you embark on are visible, measurable, and embedded in a continuous learning loop.
