Transformation, data, economics, strategy and delivery are increasingly interconnected – and addressing one often means understanding them all.
That is why we are bringing together our expertise in business transformation, data analytics and economic advisory within our business consulting practice, led by partner Elaine Daly.
With a particular focus on healthcare, life sciences and the Public Sector, the team combines specialist consulting expertise with a deep understanding of the environments in which our clients operate. The aim is simple: to help organisations understand complex challenges, make better-informed decisions and turn those decisions into action.
The strength of an integrated approach is that different perspectives can be brought to the table from the outset.
In healthcare, for example, improving patient flow or addressing capacity pressures may require more than process redesign. It can involve analysing data, modelling future demand, assessing different options and developing the business case for investment – before supporting implementation and change.
In life sciences, commercial and pricing decisions can be closely connected to market access, reimbursement and the evidence needed to support them. Bringing these perspectives together helps organisations develop strategies that are both commercially focused and grounded in the realities of the market.
Across the Public Sector, organisations are balancing growing demand, constrained resources and increasingly complex policy and delivery requirements. Our team can support clients from economic analysis and options appraisal through to service redesign, programme delivery and organisational change.
Funding pressures, regulation, workforce challenges and changing expectations are creating increasingly complex decisions for organisations across each of these sectors.
Our approach is to bring the right expertise together around the problem – rather than expecting the problem to fit around individual services.
By combining business transformation, data analytics and economic advisory within one team, we can provide greater continuity from initial analysis and strategy through to implementation and delivery. It means shared context, more connected decision-making and fewer handovers along the way.
Led by Elaine Daly, our growing business consulting team brings together experienced specialists who understand both the technical challenges our clients face and the sectors in which they operate.

The complex problems facing organisations rarely fit neatly within a single area of expertise. Solving them often requires deep sector knowledge and input from several disciplines, but relatively few advisers can provide everything within one team.
