Don't buy this anectode. BCG is too expensive to be hired by managers to convince executives. There are cheaper ways to do that.

Most common scenario is that the executives want to prioritize between 100s of managers' pet-projects, then they hire us to swift through.

End result is that a company (correctly) focus on a few high impact projects and a bunch of middle managers get hurt because their pet project get underfunded.

Yeah I don't mean manager as in "has a team of 5 people" I mean someone responsible for big teams, I'm just using manager as the generic, it could be a "head of" or "General Manager" or "Director" etc. Looking at teams that are a 2%+ of the size of the company.
