Business innovation consulting group

The Business Innovation Consulting Group (BICG) is a research think tank and management consultancy firm founded in Madrid by Iñaki Lozano in 1999. The company was formed when Lozano left the Fraunhofer IAO Research Center , the largest and most important research institute on work-related matters in Europe, to set up a spin-off company in Spain . The Group is known for introducing workplace design strategies in the Spanish-speaking context (Lozano and Romeo, 2001). The company remains a member of the IAO’s international network.

BICG’s research and consultancy activities focus on workplace innovation and work re-engineering strategies. In particular, BICG's work with the Fraunhofer IAO has crystallized in a series of well-known collaborative projects , the most notable of which is the IAO's 'Office 21® Future of Work' project , to which BICG has contributed important literature additions . BICG's work has been particularly important for introducing the concept and practice of workplace design in Spain and Latin America

BICG has offices in Madrid, Barcelona, Stuttgart and Buenos Aires.
