Sirkin, a senior partner at The Boston Consulting Group and global leader of the firm’s Operations practice, saw a tsunami coming. That tsunami of global companies that are ready to take on traditional corporate powerhouses is the result of what Sirkin calls “globality. ”There’s been a group of people working on this inside BCG. It’s probably our largest single research expenditure focusing on this phenomenon and what it all means,” says Sirkin, adding that a new practice called Global Advantage launched for just that purpose. He’s co-authored a book of the same name that with colleagues James W. Hemerling and Arindam K. Bhattacharya. However, he says many U.S. companies are in denial about the impact of this evolution. He recently discussed the book and its impetus with Consulting: ConsultingMag@kennedyinfo.com (Consulting magazine) Wed, 02 Jul 2008 00:00:00 -0400 http://www.consultingmag.com/articles/782/1/Bains-Saenz-Helping-Latinosand-BainSucceed/Bains-Saenz-Helping-Latinosand-BainSucceed.html Bain & Company, says partner Hernan Saenz, has always been a welcoming place for those of Latino origin. But he’s working to take Bain’s Latino initiatives to the next level, spearheading the new version of Latinos@Bain, a once informal network that now is charged with formal recruiting and mentoring efforts. “The program’s mission is to make Bain & Company the best career for Latino business talent,” he says. And the program is certain to have staying power. “Is this passing fad? Look at the statistics—one-fourth of the children in the United States under the age of five is of Hispanic origin. The population is becoming more diverse every day. And it means that firms will need diverse workforces to understand their customers better.” Saenz recently spoke with Consulting about Latinos@Bain.

To get the job done, consultants work with clients in advisory positions and have access to confidential information and influence over decisions. This is a demanding environment with unique ethical considerations. david.casella@paconsulting.com (David Casella) Tue, 10 Jun 2008 00:00:00 -0400
