The limiting factor for seeing value from AI in enterprises isn’t model intelligence, it’s how agents are built and run in their organizations. We recently introduced Frontier⁠, our platform for building, deploying, and managing AI coworkers that can do real work across the enterprise. For example, an AI coworker that resolves a customer issue end-to-end by pulling context from the CRM, checking policies, filing the update, and escalating only when needed. 

Frontier provides the technical foundation. But making real impact with AI also requires leadership alignment, workflow redesign, integration across systems and data, as well as the kind of change management that drives adoption. 

Our partners will work alongside OpenAI’s Forward Deployed Engineering (FDE) team, combining OpenAI’s research and product expertise with deep transformation experience and global delivery teams. Each partner is investing in dedicated practice groups and building teams that will be certified on OpenAI technology. OpenAI will support them with technical resources, roadmap insight, and access to our product and research teams.

McKinsey and BCG each bring deep experience to help leadership decide how to start, redesign their operating model, embed AI, and drive adoption.

McKinsey brings experience leading enterprise-wide operating change, helping leadership teams align on where to focus, how to redesign operating models, and how to embed intelligence into day-to-day work. Through QuantumBlack, its AI arm, McKinsey pairs technical expertise with industry insight to help global clients redesign processes and integrate agents across their highest-value workflows.

BCG brings a proven track record in enterprise transformation, helping organizations scale AI by aligning strategy with operating model redesign, governance, and change management. Through BCG X, its tech build and design unit, BCG helps clients build, deploy, and drive adoption of AI across their most critical workflows - ensuring AI transformations reflect how the business truly operates and deliver measurable value.

As Frontier Alliance partners, BCG and McKinsey will help customers deploy AI across their organizations - building the strategy, operating model, and change management plan needed for sustained impact.

Accenture and Capgemini both advise on strategy and then help wire Frontier into the systems and data enterprises actually run on - securely and reliably.
