"An external audit by the auditing firm KPMG..." Piling one nonsense upon another. I worked with them on a different health project. After much song and dance we ended up with another bland slide deck.
The audit and consulting practices at KMPG and similar organizations are almost completely separate. And in fairness to KPMG, a bland slide deck is exactly what their customers want. If a hospital wanted groundbreaking disruptive innovation then they wouldn't hire a management consulting firm in the first place.
