Public Sector

We bring commercial best practices and public sector acumen to support heads of state, ministers, heads of agencies, and other senior leaders with their greatest challenges, in areas such as strategy, risk management, operations, and organization transformation. Our work spans the spectrum of societal issues, including economic development, cost management, tax and benefits fraud, security policy, labor affairs, and top-level governance.

Importantly, we also thoroughly understand the unique challenges of policy design and formulation, and of implementing change in the public sector. Oliver Wyman has practical experience making a difference at the center of government, in agencies and ministries, and other public sector organizations, for clients ranging from the European Commission to the Kuwait Investment Authority. We place great importance on tailoring solutions to the particular challenges of delivery in the sector and the client’s specific situation. We have supported some of the largest and most effective government transformation programs in the world.

To deliver the right expertise for the needs of our clients, Oliver Wyman partners with our sister companies: Marsh, a global leader in insurance broking and risk management; Mercer, a global consulting leader in talent, health, retirement, and investments; and Guy Carpenter, a global provider of risk and reinsurance intermediary services.
