Debbie Lovich was named a Fellow in 2022, focusing her research on Future of Work – in particular, how to ‘make work work‘ for everyone (employers, employees, customers, communities) by adding radical employee centricity to organizations’ priorities, including reshaping work with GenAI. She is a Managing Director & Senior Partner based in BCG’s Boston office.
Debbie has spent the last half of her 30+ year consulting career working across industries and countries on the human side of transformation. She does the hard work of changing cultures and leader behaviors from the C-suite to the front line to enable sustained value creation. After COVID-19, Debbie led BCG’s thinking on the future of work. As GenAI is reshaping work, organizations, and industries, Debbie is showing her clients how being employee-centric will enable them to get the most value from these new technologies. Debbie has also applied her expertise internally at BCG, where she led the development and rollout of the firm’s global predictability, teaming, and open communication (PTO) program, an initiative implemented to improve BCG’s culture and employee work–life balance. She has been a frequent contributor to Forbes, as well as Harvard Business Review, Sloan Management Review, and a TED speaker.
Outside of work, Debbie enjoys time with her family, exercise and television (at the same time) and hiking or paddleboarding with their two dogs.
Debbie Lovich shares three essential tips for leaders to reshape organizational work culture and provide their employees with more autonomy while remaining productive.
Redesigning work to ensure that employees are supported, motivated, and empowered can be both an enabler and result of AI adoption.
Employees are customers who decide daily how much energy to give to their work. Here’s how leaders can understand and segment their workforce to identify what employees want most — and act on it.
Research suggests the need to tip the balance—increasing the enjoyment that nurses, teachers, factory workers, and other deskless employees experience at work.
Gen AI offers efficiency, but employee adoption hinges on shared benefits and supportive leadership. By adding joy to work, co-creating with employees, and ensuring managers serve as role models, you can flip the odds of success.
Public talent investment funds come with a clear business case for action: attracting and retaining global top talent generates a substantial return on investment.
