MMG's methodology transfers across sectors because the underlying problem structure is the same: multiple constraint owners, a coordination gap, and a persistent distance between strategy and field execution.

How do you build MRI capacity for a new Alzheimer's therapy when a pharma company has no authority over hospitals, radiologists, or provincial funding policy? Leqembi requires serial MRI monitoring, but Canada's MRI system was already at capacity before the drug arrived. MMG convened 28 participants to build the solution together — producing 19 prioritized recommendations and a cross-sector coalition with shared ownership to act on them.

How do you transform a 700-person federal agency when four rounds of strategy documents, McKinsey, and directives from the top have all failed to move anything? NESDIS had been trying to transform itself since 2016 with nothing to show for it. MMG convened 24 change agents — not senior leaders — to build an 18-recommendation transformation strategy from the inside.

How do you build an integrated national wildfire intelligence system when the agency has $120 million in new funding but no coordinated team and a siloed culture that has repeatedly agreed on priorities and failed to act? MMG convened 26 participants to build the system strategy together. The Next Generation Fire System achieved 90% adoption across National Weather Service offices by 2025.

How does a pharma company move a fragmented, underprepared healthcare system toward readiness for a new therapy when it has no authority to mandate any of it? The neurologists, patient advocates, health administrators, and provincial policy actors who each held a piece of the problem had never been in the same room. MMG convened 27 participants in November 2020 — via Zoom — to produce an 18-commitment action plan.

How do you close the gap between two federal offices designed to function as an integrated engine but operating as separate silos for years — when bilateral meetings, working groups, and direct conversations have all failed?

How does a leadership team with four siloed business units, no shared identity, and a $500 million revenue target finally make the hard strategic choices that a 50-person off-site failed to produce?
