The largest component of Oliver Wyman Group is Oliver Wyman, a management consulting business that has more than 6,800 professionals working out of offices in 70 cities spread across 30 countries. Oliver Wyman Group also includes NERA Economic Consulting, and the brand and innovation consultancy Lippincott.
The firm's consulting services cover sectors including automotive, aviation, aerospace and defense, communications, energy, media, financial services, industrial products and services, health and life sciences, public policy, retail and consumer products, and surface transportation.

Global reach
Oliver Wyman may have been founded in New York City, but the firm’s footprint can be found on five continents. Further boosting the company's geographic and business reach are the opportunities for collaboration with the other companies owned by MMC. Cross-pollination throughout the offices is the norm rather than the exception.
Community impact
The firm is committed to supporting employee work-life quality and offers several programs to colleagues on mental health, balance, and options to pursue their passions. One example is the Nonprofit Fellowship program, in which employees can choose to work for a nonprofit organization for three to six months, while the firm pays a stipend of up to 40 percent of their salary.
Oliver Wyman has also established long-term partnerships with select non-profit organizations to provide pro-bono consulting services. The list of organizations that Oliver Wyman has partnered with continues to grow, and details of Oliver Wyman's work are available through their annual social impact report as well as the Oliver Wyman for Society section of its website. Oliver Wyman has also supported refugees since 2015 by recruiting qualified candidates from refugee populations, supporting refugees’ entrepreneurial ambitions, and championing refugee support programs among its clients.
Experts at research
Oliver Wyman applies its deep industry expertise not only to client engagements but also to the many cutting-edge reports it publishes each year. For example, the firm has authored a State of the Financial Services Industry report every year since 1997, and its Oliver Wyman Health blog tracks "the business of transforming healthcare" with contributions from Oliver Wyman Partners and healthcare industry innovators. Oliver Wyman also launched the Oliver Wyman Forum, a research center that studies and develops ideas and innovative solutions drawn from research projects and insights from C-suite convenings.
In addition to a steady stream of articles that are regularly shared with clients, Oliver Wyman publishes several journals and reports annually that contain the firm's latest thinking on issues of importance to senior business leaders. For example, the Oliver Wyman Retail Journal has been published since 2012. The annual Velocity Journal captures the latest in transport, travel, and logistics. Additionally, the firm produces a collaborative global report with the Carbon Disclosure Project (CDP) and the World Economic Forum to assess the efficacy of corporate actions aimed at reducing emissions and reversing nature loss.
The firm's partners regularly contribute articles and opinion pieces to financial and business publications such as Harvard Business Review, Forbes, MIT Sloan Management Review, The Wall Street Journal, the World Economic Forum's Agenda blog, and the Financial Times. The firm’s consultants also do not hesitate to explore new channels of communication: several podcasts are hosted by employees.
Oliver Wyman frequently highlights new reports and thought leadership on the Insights section of its website, on LinkedIn, and on X.
