Infrastructure, Government & Healthcare

Terrorism. The rising cost of healthcare. Balancing growth with environmentalism. These are some of the issues challenging organizations around the world. KPMG's Infrastructure, Government & Healthcare (IGH) practice professionals are working together to provide fresh, timely strategies.

Our issue-based approach to global challenges can be seen in the reaction to the events of September 11, 2001. Those terrorist acts shook the very foundations of government - not only in the Unites States but also around the world - as leaders saw firsthand the unprecedented risks to their security.

KPMG's IGH teams possessed the vision and understanding to recognize global terror as a threat to private industry as well as governments. In the aftermath of the attacks, IGH leadership made a commitment to alert clients to terrorism's economic destructiveness and to join with subject matter experts from both government and the private sector to formulate a response.

Teamwork is nothing new to KPMG's professionals serving the IGH sector. They have long been committed to sharing knowledge on behalf of member firm clients in the government, healthcare, transport, and funding agencies sectors as well as in building, construction, and real estate - whether it is the U.S. Practice sharing procurement and performance management processes with their South African counterparts or simply recognizing one country's advanced environmental consciousness and making the commitment to bring other countries up to speed.

Through collaboration, IGH professionals have learned another valuable lesson: While a commonality of approach to global issues is critical, sensitivity to local and national differences is equally important. KPMG's IGH professionals apply this insight around the world - whether the challenge is helping to fight terrorism, protect the environment, or contain healthcare and transportation costs. This approach is getting results - and turning knowledge into value.

While KPMG benefits from teaming and knowledge sharing among its government and healthcare professionals across the globe, IGH practices for individual countries are also carefully structured to serve the special needs of their clients.
