By Editor_wr On Apr 23, 2025
Bain & Company, a leading global management consultancy, announced today the expansion of its Doha office— marking a continued investment in developing talent and deepening client relationships.
Bain & Company has supported clients in Qatar for more than 20 years, advising on strategic initiatives across both the public and private sectors. Over the years, the firm has built a strong foundation of long-term partnerships in the Qatari market and developed a local team committed to delivering lasting impact. As Qatar continues to diversify its economy and advance its national vision, Bain's growing presence in Doha reflects its ongoing commitment to being part of this ambitious and forward-looking trajectory.
The expanded office remains in Bain & Company's prime West Bay location in Doha, where the local team will continue to operate in a newly designed space that doubles the office footprint and blends cutting-edge functionality with local cultural elements. Located in the heart of the city, the space will allow Bain to continue delivering world-class service with increased proximity to key clients and partners.
The fully renovated space now meets the latest Bain global standards in technology, equipment, and workplace design, offering a seamless hybrid experience with high-tech collaboration tools and flexible workspaces. Inspired by Qatar's stunning natural landscapes—from the tranquil sea and lush mangrove forests to vast desert dunes and breathtaking sunsets—the interior also incorporates design elements echoing the architectural beauty of the nation's iconic stadiums.
Prioritizing accessibility and sustainability, the office is designed to be inclusive and environmentally conscious, with the goal of achieving LEED certification through energy-efficient and sustainable building practices.
Tom De Waele, the Managing Partner at Bain & Company Middle East, added: 'Qatar is an important part of our regional footprint and continues to play a vital role in the region's growth story. This office expansion reflects not only our long-standing commitment to our clients and partners here, but also our belief in the country's extraordinary momentum. The new space is about creating the right environment—for our team to grow and for us to continue supporting the bold ambitions of the organizations we work with.'

New Bain & Company Analysis Reveals Zero-Based Cost Management Can Cut Costs by Up to 25% and Boost Shareholder Returns by 150%
New Bain & Company Analysis Reveals Zero-Based Cost Management Can Cut Costs by Up to 25% and Boost Shareholder Returns by 150% Bain & Company's latest cost-management analysis, The New Case for Zero-Based Cost Management, explains how a clean-sheet approach to cost discipline helps companies offset rising costs, free up funds to reinvest in growth and resilience, and widen their lead on competitors, even in turbulent times. Zero-based cost management enables leadership teams to rapidly shrink the firm's cost base as much as 25 percent and redeploy savings to spur growth, expand operating margins, and boost flexibility and competitiveness. Bain's 2025 Operations Reinvention COO Survey finds that two-thirds of global executives say new tariffs are forcing them to accelerate cost cuts and price increases. Bain's analysis of 5,000 companies globally shows that sustained value creators, those delivering both real top-line growth and positive economic value added over the past decade, have outperformed peers by 150 percent in total shareholder return. These leaders embed profitable-growth capabilities that hold up throughout economic cycles, industries, and geographies, underscoring the role of cost discipline in long-term outperformance. The brief describes three levels of cost management: Benchmarking and setting targets – the brute-force approach most companies use, with cost reductions that typically last only one or two years before creeping back. Redesigning the work – some firms deploy zero-based redesign (ZBR) to reset how work is done, strengthen capabilities that provide competitive differentiation while streamlining functions that are less critical, and tap generative AI for larger productivity gains. Embedding a cost-management mindset – the few winners that sustain gains treat cost discipline as a strategic priority, build capabilities in people, processes, and technology to create and sustain impact, foster a culture of ownership and continuous improvement, and use zero-based budgeting to reallocate scarce resources to their most productive uses. The most effective companies share a distinguishing feature when retooling costs: CEO and CFO engagement in a full change management effort. These leaders acknowledge at the outset that cost management requires new skills and a new mindset. They play a major role in shaping the goal and ambition, and design programs that address the potential barriers to change. Finally, they build the strategic case for change, instead of just implementing it. In doing so, they bring the organization with them. Businesses face an increasingly unpredictable future as costs mount and risks multiply. Those that embrace all three levels of cost management will be able to navigate near-term market shifts, even as they gain a competitive edge for the long term.
