Practice Overview

Through this disruption, agencies and contractors are consistently asked to do more with less. We assist governments and agencies in adapting to achieve their missions in the ever-changing government landscape.
Our clients include agencies and contractors that operate across the government value chain, from large defense platform original equipment manufacturers (OEMs), integrators, and component and systems manufacturers to disruptive IT, technical services, and healthcare providers.

In commercial aerospace, we deliver impact for organizations that bring core aerospace products to market as well as providers of aftermarket services. Additionally, we support aircraft OEMs in improving supply chain resilience, optimizing industrial flows, enhancing training programs, and streamlining organizational structures. Oliver Wymans tailored strategies help OEMs enhance efficiency and navigate complexities in a rapidly evolving market, turning obstacles into opportunities. We use our experience in the aviation sector to bring a deep understanding of the strategic needs of the end customer base, driving value for our clients.
Our A&D team has supported over 120 deals, providing comprehensive pre- and post-deal assistance to both corporate and private investors. By combining industry knowledge with advanced tools, we evaluate the impacts of major A&D programs and offer strategic recommendations that align with market opportunities. Leveraging global expertise, we deliver tailored solutions that enhance client resilience and drive sustainable improvements through robust analytics.
Additionally, we work in tandem with our Government and Public Institutions practice, aligning transportation with our public sector expertise.
