Inside BCG's AI product assembly line: 'Every company has to become a tech company'
"When it comes to creating AI tools, Boston Consulting Group is "all in," Scott Wilder, a Dallas-based partner at the firm, told Business Insider. About 15 months ago, the firm launched an internal research and development lab - one of several ways in which it is developing new AI-based technology to facilitate its work. "Every company has to become a tech company," he said. "BCG is no exception.""
"First, there's the data level, which is driven by data engineers. "We're in a phase where we're really starting to leverage our internal proprietary data," Wilder said. Wilder said BCG is building MCP servers and agents on top of its internal and selected public data sources so AI tools can automatically pull the right information at the right time - a shift he sees as the future of AI, where model intelligence is increasingly tied to knowing which data to use and when."
Boston Consulting Group launched an internal R&D lab about 15 months ago to develop AI-based technology and accelerate tool creation. Generative AI adoption is organized into three layers: a data level led by data engineers leveraging internal proprietary and selected public data; a middle layer where consultants build project-specific tools that are integrated into a central marketplace when successful; and a top layer where executives develop firm-wide tools. BCG is building MCP servers and agents to enable AI tools to automatically retrieve the right information at the right time and is deploying tools like Deckster to speed presentation creation.
