Revamping the Payer Strategy

The head of strategy at a health services company had ambitious plans for growth, but needed to mitigate risk by re-examining his payer strategy. Unfortunately, his internal team was overstretched, and he wasn’t interested in paying a premium to hire a big consulting firm.

Instead, he embraced the leaner and more agile solution Business Talent Group put together: a single ex-McKinsey health specialist who worked alongside his team, supported by an analyst to help pull and assess the data. In three months, the team delivered an objective summary of external trends and context before reviewing current practices and crafting a plan for the future.
