Bain & Company announced an expanded partnership with OpenAI, the maker of ChatGPT, and frontier AI models such as GPT 4o and the new OpenAI o1, to accelerate AI’s transformative impact in the world’s top companies.
Bain and OpenAI have been collaborating closely since 2022, with the public announcement of a global services alliance in early 2023 bringing OpenAI’s ground-breaking AI capabilities and platforms to Bain clients worldwide. Bain has also deployed OpenAI platforms, including making ChatGPT Enterprise, available to employees worldwide, with these tools being used to deliver numerous pioneering, bespoke applications of the technology, enhancing employees’ efficiency and productivity.
Bain and OpenAI will now further extend and deepen the scope of this already fast-growing work through their expanded partnership. This will harness the combination of OpenAI’s innovations and Bain’s deep AI/technology implementation capabilities and strategic expertise to further enhance their ability to leverage the most powerful AI solutions to meet clients’ needs and lead them in their AI journey.
With the far-reaching expansion of its OpenAI partnership, Bain is investing in establishing an OpenAI Center of Excellence (CoE). Led by a dedicated Bain team equipped with in-depth experience and expertise, as well as the latest insights into OpenAI innovations, the OpenAI CoE will provide services and technologies that help clients to realize business value and impact from OpenAI’s technologies.

Bain’s OpenAI CoE will be staffed with deep technical resources equipped to deliver client solutions that leverage OpenAI frontier technology, including multi-modal, real-time and reasoning applications.
