of the you're up to date, stay with us for business, and the 2nd part of our series on have consulting corporations are influencing governments around the world. us after a short break for me, the team here in berlin actually take care of the living independent, arise to our society, is full of contrasts and inequality is a big challenge. many problems can only be solved by working together. yes, i think computers in this leaving what is home how do we tackle some major issues about time? because there is a significant risk of human extinction from advancing our systems and changes to

your frontier assertion. our series continues on d, w or the what is the justifications for hiring consultants is the expertise and innovation they bring to governments. that was also the idea behind rebuilding sweden's largest hospital in 2008. the new covenants got sona, or kevin and sky university hospital. the new car, lynch good. so now was designed to was envisioned as a hospitable would that would that would kind of embody all of these things that would create savings eventually for the public sector and enable back to forms of cap full sweden's aging population. so for the, for the why the population, it was supposed to be a well leading medical center to achieve those grand emissions. 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 was also like and it was like a show room for the basic shape. it was supposed to be a show room for a value based health care on. 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 that so carol escape made. it was like, it was like a test bed when the hospital reopened negative headlines, flooded swedish news, the restructuring a plunge, the hospital into dysfunctionality. the british medical journal describes the implementation as chaotic resulting in an i t breakdown shortage of beds. and even

the patient desk with consultants fitting, 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 link, the honest 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 more than 60 people had had the abdominal counselor operations postpone because of this catastrophe, which is was at least 4 people that died before they had this, the recreation. 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 analysis full, evaluating how financing for the project should look like, for example, right often to, 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 the hospital around $25000000.00. despite the negative headlines, 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 the innovation. we tend to look to government to fail and business to do right and strangely that's, that's not immediately obvious when we have that challenge, instead of having as the kind of default default, oh, we should tend to use management consultancies to help to help us innovate. well, what would it mean and set you to look english to the capabilities and the knowledge that exists within the health care professionals working in the sweetest health care system and use them and harmless them really as the kind of drive of innovation within the health care system the cd declined to give a common saying their work falls under confidentiality agreements. researching the covenants got case made me wonder if out sourcing government work to private companies can be problematic. how come it's experience such a boost to experts?

i spoke to see that 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. c and adopt a to time in response to involving challenges by 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, mckenzie bought 3 sustainability, consulting fees, and b, c. g was the official consulting partner of the un climate change conference. on the one hand, consultancies have less 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, in whitening gas. 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 his own rank. more than a 1000 of the firms employ you signed an internal letter of warning that hour and action on or perhaps assistance with client admissions poses serious risk to our reputation. there's another reason the critics are raising their eyebrows at climate consulting. the kind of growing them both been of consultancies in climate

policy and then kind of the government governor's may actually uh you know, because it, you a form of green washing that enables governments and full edition. and then also, you know, companies in, in, 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 mackenzie to help develop it's planned to reach net 0 emissions by 2050 most rarely as one of the largest ex porters 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 development of the analysis and it was subsequently you pointed out that today the strategy of the plan that has 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 there was a big reliance on the development of technology that do, you know, and the voting out was technology. is it, do you know, is it as yet? rosie also criticizes that the report placed the onus 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 need that the government was, you know, perhaps ideologically or politically less interested in the queue of company try to get the time, but to say 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 applying for governments around the world. the experts i spoke to painted a fragmented picture. what became clear is that management consultancies are everywhere,

and they are unchecked. whether they are advising the sovereign wealth fund of saudi arabia to us immigration 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 via their global expertise as part of what makes them so sought after but advising all parties at the table can also create conflicts 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 for efficient. and there are certainly many positive examples like mackenzie helping to set up education centers for refugees and 11 on are busy, busy working with the world health organization to control the full outbreak in

west africa. put the examples in this video also show that what checks out on a spreadsheet doesn't always work when people are involved years, not left with the consequences of the decisions that you're making. we tend to look to government to fail in business to do right and strangely that's, that's not a big deal or not. it's a trend that could be difficult to reverse the the

answer of the conflict with sarah kelly's occurrences that a recent incursion into russian territory has made a mockery of fruitless red lines. and that the west should go haul in to help when the war i discussed the options with a finished foreign minister, alina of opponent. thanks for having me. so how does she see the prospect of turning beside and bushes and phrasing of ukraine conflict the next
