lation. um for the, for the why the population, it was supposed to be a well leading medical center to achieve those grand ambitions. the swedish government hired b. c. g which pushed for a new hospital system value based health care. it's a health care model that prioritize us cost effectiveness can least give us also like and it was like a show room for the basic shapes. it was supposed to be a show room for value based health care, and i go stuff on spend years reporting on the cumberland sky university case. the problem was that this was never, they said never been tested out in big scale. and it, so carol escape made, it was like it was like a test bed when the hospital reopened negative headlines, flooded swedish news. the restructuring had plunged the hospital into dis,

functionality. the british medical journal describes the implementation as chaotic resulting in an i t break down shortage of beds and even a patient that they with consultants sitting in inventing new terminology for all the different functions in the hospital. how can someone in a different hospital in still come or, or outside they'll come and get in contact with the right person needs in carolyn's got it. when they had changed over time, analogy into a management kind of lean the on us investigations for a swedish newspaper show that the chaos and the new hospital eventually contributed to long waiting lists for critical abdominal surgeries. in the end of the summer of 2017, it turned out that's more than 60 people had had the abdominal counsellor operations postponed because of this catastrophe which is was at least 4 people that died

before they had the 6 that reparation. and there was another major issue, ballooning costs in 2040 when the entire project is completed, it's estimated to have cost $5.00 times the original budget. on wikipedia, the hospital even made it onto the list of most expensive buildings in the world. and there are many different reasons for this, but one of them has been that huge reliance on management consultancies really from the outset of the project in, in, you know, providing the analysis full, evaluating how financing for the project should look like, for example, right up until in boseman of management consultants in the design and development of management systems, or forms of management. among the costs that spiraled was spending on b, c. d, which built a hospital around $25000000.00. despite the negative headlines,
7:20 pm
the director of the hospital and then operations manager was originally a, b, c, d consultant. eventually step down, the board was exchanged, the case shows the potential pitfalls of relying on consultancies for change and innovation. we tend to look to government to fail and business to do right and strangely that's, that's not immediately obvious. let me have that challenge. instead of having a kind of default default, we should tend to use management consultants used to help to help us innovate. well, what would it mean and set you to look in was to the capabilities and the knowledge that exists within the health care professionals working in the sweetest health care system and use them and harness them really as the kind of drive of innovation within the health care system. the cd declined to give a comment saying their work falls under confidentiality agreements. researching the covenant sca case made me wonder if out sourcing government work to private
7:21 pm
companies can be problematic. how come it's experience such a boost to experts? i spoke to say that the governments are in a kind of vicious outsourcing cycle of reliance or dependence on consultancies to deliver critical and important tasks by government has the effect of undermining the ability of public sector organizations and services to learn and adopt a the time in response to involving talent is that governments all set top to meet the examples we've looked at so far. so that no matter which country or sector mckenzie and basic g seem ubiquitous, it's part of what gives them expertise. not just when dealing with rivaling countries take the sustainability business. for example. it's booming and consultancies have placed themselves at the center of it. in 2021, mckinsey bought 3 sustainability, consulting fees, and b, c. g was the official consulting partner of the un climate change conference. on
7:22 pm
the one hand, consultancies have left big marks and the sustainability sector. like the gas cost curve that mckenzie came up with and helps figure out the most efficient ways to cut greenhouse gases. ready on the other side, and then we'll say providing advice on how to for example, expand contracts in, in and learned us. mackenzie has advised, at least 43 of the worlds, 100, the biggest polluters, according to the new york times b. c. g is also in the business. consultancies aimed to maximize their clients. profits. pushing for dekalb innovation could be a conflict of interest. a few years ago, mackenzie's work for fossil fuel class even sparked a rebellion within its own ranks. more than a 1000 of the firms employ, you signed an internal letter of warning that our an action on or perhaps assistance was client emissions poses serious risk to our reputation. there's
7:23 pm
another reason the critics are raising their eyebrows at climate consulting. the kind of growing and both been of consultancies in climate policy and income. the government governor's may actually uh, you know, because it, you a form of green washing that enables governments and full edition. and that also, you know, companies and in the private sector as well. to present the picture that they are pursuing climate goals that they are pursuing emissions reductions when they are not. in fact, gaming like from the australian government contracted mckinsey, to help develop it's planned to reach net 0 emissions by 2050, most rarely as one of the largest exporters of coal and natural gas. and it's government at the time didn't place climate protection high up on this agenda. mckenzie had been contracted to developing of the analysis and it was subsequently pointed out that today the strategy was
7:24 pm
a plan that had been laid out in this in this report would not enable the government to get to not see right by 2050. and that there are lots of holes in, in, in the report that was a big reliance on the development of technologies that do you know, and the voting out was technologies that do not exist. yeah. rosie also criticizes that the report place to own us on farmers rather than on mining companies to become more sustainable. in the case of australia, isn't there a strategy? it was no, i mean that the government was, you know, perhaps i, the largest ppo politically and less interested in the few of the company. you try to get the time. but it was a that it was keen to protect existing sources of growth within the economy. at the beginning of this report, i asked what the role consultancies are playing for governments around the world. the experts i spoke to painted a fragmented picture. what became clear is that management consultancies are
7:25 pm
everywhere, and they are unchecked whether they are advising the sovereign wealth fund of saudi arabia, the us emigration office, oil and gas for the un climate conference. since they're not actually a profession, they don't actually suffer from malpractice. so in a true profession, you can be disbarred, or you can be disqualified. the consulting firms don't have a legal code of ethics that they have to live biased, their global expertise as part of what makes them so sought after but advising all parties at the table can also create conflict of interest. if you're working for a government ministry, helping that government ministry more efficiently be authoritarian. how is that not political proponents of outsourcing, se consultancies makes the public sector more efficient. and there are certainly many positive examples like mackenzie helping to set up education centers for
