Why Healthcare Consulting? Why These Three?
I am currently in the marketing department of a medium-size management consulting firm based in New York City, supporting the health and life sciences practice and focused on digital strategy. This was an opportunity to look at what some of the larger management consulting firms were doing in the same space.
1 Bain & Company Healthcare
Large management consulting firm with a crisp, complex media presence
Firm = 50 offices in 32 countries
2 McKinsey & Company Healthcare Systems & Services Practice
In top 3 of management consulting firms
Firm = 17,000 employees spread across almost 100 offices worldwide
3 Accenture Health
Largest consulting firm, with revenues over $20B
Known more systems work but have unique approach to branding and digital strategy

Bain & Company: HealthcareSWOT Analysis
• Clean modern design
• Very complex yet logical navigation
• Very well developed presentation of case studies of client results
• Separate Twitter feed for reports and general company news
• Creative online presentation of reports such as slideshows
Strengths Weaknesses
ThreatsOpportunities
• Practice experts not featured as prominently as practice ideas
• Constrained organization doesn’t have a user-responsive feel
• Sharing buttons are included but not promoted aggressively
• High volume of content creates challenges with letting site be more interactive
• Difficult to find other healthcare information beyond the main “industry expertise “ section
• Feature healthcare experts more prominently within the healthcare section
• Add more accessibility and visibility to sharing buttons—tight organization gets in way of a more dynamic approach
• Could pare down content so more targeted messages get through
• Share platforms with other topics
• Engagement feels too slick and not authentic
• Client confidentiality
• Personality of individual businesses and leaders hard to separate from overall corporate feel and message
• Varying digital savviness of end users

McKinsey & Company: Healthcare Systems & ServicesSWOT Analysis
Strengths Weaknesses
ThreatsOpportunities
• Confusing where to go for just healthcare-specific information
• Design can feel crowded /text-heavy & unvaried
• Could encourage conversation and sharing more—sharing/buttons available but not particularly promoted
• Navigation can be confusing when on interior pages—not sure when related to overall site or to healthcare section
• More clearly route users to healthcare channels and sites
• Establish dedicated healthcare channels
• Create more inviting portals for each industry sector, including healthcare, to allow for more organized flow of information
• Client confidentiality
• Large size
• Many competing interests for space on digital properties
• Have full website section spotlighting practice experts
• Have full website section devoted to real-world case studies
• Multiple contact buttons presented
• A number of sharing buttons/ways to “stay connected”

Comparison
The ultimate healthcare consulting practice digital platform might actually resemble a combination of the approaches of Bain, McKinsey, and Accenture.
The uber portal would have aspects of all three:
Bain’s clean design and highlighted client results
McKinsey’s depth of featured content and focus on consultants and experts
Accenture’s modern, responsive-user design with multiple healthcare-specific channels of engagement
