go-to-market strategy
AUSTIN, Texas, May 21 /PRNewswire/ -- BSG Alliance, the on-demand
strategy, software and delivery company that transforms business
organizations into "next generation enterprises" announced that it has
acquired The Concours Group, a highly respected high-end strategy and
executive education company. With The Concours Group's client-base of over
200 of the Fortune 500 companies, this transaction places BSG at the
forefront of helping global firms transform into 2.0, next generation
enterprises.
"The acquisition of a leading industry-recognized strategic resource
such as The Concours Group shows our dedication to being the number one
partner for the creation of the on-demand enterprise," says Steve
Papermaster, Chairman and CEO of BSG Alliance Corporation. "We see a rising
need in quickly transforming enterprises from the inside out and no one has
the experience of discovering how to transform strategy into results like
The Concours Group. Their leadership approach is in total alignment with
our on-demand strategy, software and delivery view. I can't imagine a
better fit with our vision."
Dr. Ronald P. Christman, founder of The Concours Group and now
President of BSG Concours, agrees. "Our clients are under increasing
pressure to take advantage of global business changes underway, and have
results now. Joining with BSG Alliance gives us the ability to execute
dynamically on the innovative approaches our client-driven strategy
creates. In BSG we saw a partner who understood what it is going to take to
fully transform an enterprise into the next generation. We can now offer
continuous strategy coupled with continuous change for the on-demand
enterprise."
The acquisition of The Concours Group:
-- Strengthens BSG's position as a 2.0 "change agent" by expanding
offerings in the areas of research, consulting and education that is
designed to equip clients with future-oriented, value-creating best
practices.
-- Reaffirms and strengthens BSG's presence as a provider to C-level
executives of top-tier organizations. With over 200 of the Fortune 500
represented in Concours' client base, BSG will have a greatly expanded
"classroom" in which to educate businesses on how to best take
advantage of the 2.0, on-demand revolution.
-- Establishes BSG as the one-stop, next generation enterprise
transformation provider. There are a myriad of ways to take advantage
of the on-demand revolution, from the introduction of social media and
collaborative tools such as wikis and blogs to customized, discrete
Software-as-a-Service solutions that can deliver game changing business
advantage. The acquisition positions BSG as a complete bridge to the
2.0 world, from strategy to design to execution.
"The Concours Group has mastered a rare and valuable formula," says
Carl Wilson, Executive Vice President & CIO of Marriott International,
Inc., one of Concours' customers. "They integrate research, consulting, and
education to turn human capital and technological potential into business
value. We are very happy to be working with them, and expect that the BSG
acquisition will bring even greater possibilities to our relationship going
forward."
The combined leadership of BSG and Concours will give clients a
leadership team of proven entrepreneurs and business professionals with
extensive experience in helping companies innovate to take full advantage
of shifts in technology paradigms.
David Shaffer, Executive Chairman of the Board, Thomson Learning, and
customer of the Concours Group summed up the outlook for the acquisition.
"Concours has been one of the most innovative consulting companies I have
worked with in my career. Their commitment to driving intellectual capital
into the consulting experience has been evident in the work we have
completed with them. As a member of the Concours Board from its inception,
I believe this combination of firms will drive an improved transformational
experience for their collective and prospective clients."
