Oliver Wyman Unveils Baku Playbook

Azerbaijan is pushing to double its GDP in a decade, and Oliver Wyman is right in the thick of it, pitching sector strategies that move the country beyond oil and gas. The firm’s Baku team sees the real action in advanced petrochemicals, logistics, and tourism, but warns that unless Azerbaijan automates its trade and compliance systems with AI, it’ll just be moving more goods at razor-thin margins. The stakes? Billions of investable dollars shift as data, platforms, and digital control towers become as vital as pipelines or ports.

But here’s the catch: while Oliver Wyman chases opportunity in Eurasia, back in Pennsylvania the hospital sector faces a crisis. Panelists at the state’s hospital summit warned that without serious policy changes, 12–14 hospitals could shut down by 2030, thanks to a toxic mix of weak insurance reimbursement, sky-high liability costs, and looming federal policy changes. For many, one big lawsuit could tip them into insolvency. The M&A and restructuring playbooks are already out, and the next state budget could make or break which hospitals survive.

Featuring insights from Jamal Ismayilov, Valerie Arkoosh, and Penn Medicine’s Keith Kasper, plus a look at Oliver Wyman’s internal power moves with a new General Counsel stepping in at a crucial pivot point for global growth and risk control.
