BAIN & COMPANY – RAUTAINEN ASIANTUNTEMUS BSAG:N APUNA 

Pro bono expertise for the Baltic Sea

The collaboration project with Bain in 2020 was pro bono at its best. Bain placed its extensive network, profound expertise and lengthy experience at BSAG’s disposal. The end result has been very valuable and beneficial for the foundation. 

A strong team developing the concept 

BSAG chose developing and clarifying its corporate collaboration concept as the focus of its cooperation with Bain. This was a topical issue for BSAG, who needed an external partner to spar with.

Bain resourced the project with a strong team that worked intensively and enthusiastically for several weeks. A variety of background studies, surveys and interviews provided plenty of useful material for developing BSAG’s corporate collaboration.  Information was processed together during workshops and discussions – and a huge number of new ideas were born in this enthusiastic team. 

External sparring is valuable 

To ensure business continuity, every organisation must constantly improve what it does. But this isn’t always something you can do on your own – sometimes an external pair of eyes is required. However, as an organisation that runs on donations and project funding, BSAG does not have the means to purchase external consulting services.

This carefully selected and customised pro bono partnership was therefore an excellent way to help BSAG help the Baltic Sea. It led to an updated model for BSAG’s corporate collaboration, targets and activities.
