  • Named one of the Top 25 Consultants by Consulting magazine, the industry's leading trade publication.
  • Senior partner and managing director of The Boston Consulting Group's Stockholm office; leader of the BCG’s global payer and provider practice; Fellow since 2010.
  • Author of 23 articles in peer-reviewed international journals.

Stefan Larsson is one of Consulting magazine’s “Top 25 Consultants” and one of the “30 Most Influential People in Public Health” named by masterspublichealth.net. Larsson is the senior partner and managing director of The Boston Consulting Group's Stockholm office and global leader of the firm’s healthcare payers and providers sector. He has been a Fellow since 2010.

Stefan’s research focuses on the topic of value-based healthcare—that is, how transparency within healthcare outcomes and patient group costs will drive the transformation of healthcare systems. Healthcare costs have risen two to three times faster than economic growth over the past 20 years, and governments and other payers' approach of focusing on managing costs has had limited success. He presented the topic of value-based healthcare during his TED talk "What Doctors Can Learn from Each Other" as part of a series of talks curated by TED and BCG.

Stefan is also BCG's representative to a new collaboration, the International Consortium of Health Outcomes Measurement (ICHOM), cofounded by BCG, Michael Porter of the Harvard Business School, and the Karolinska Institute.

Since joining BCG in 1996, Stefan has worked extensively for clients across the healthcare industry on issues of strategy, organizational redesign, operational effectiveness, R&D effectiveness, regulatory issues, drug safety, manufacturing, in-licensing strategy, and commercial compliance.

Prior to joining BCG, Stefan was an associate professor at the Karolinska Institute. He has published 22 articles in peer-reviewed international journals.

While on sabbatical from his career as a management consultant, donning his doctor’s white coat for the first time in 17 years, Stefan Larsson was surprised by two things: first, the frequent focus on hospital budgets and cost-cutting, and second, how cynical and disengaged his colleagues had become, who he had otherwise known as some of the most intelligent and passionate people. “With this focus on cost-cutting,” Larsson asked himself, “are we forgetting the patient?”

In Larsson’s compelling TED talk, “What Doctors Can Learn from Each Other,” he shares how his organization, the Boston Consulting Group, took a much needed step back to reflect on what healthcare should be trying to achieve. “Ultimately, in the healthcare system, we’re aiming at improving health for the patients, and we need to do so at a limited, or affordable, cost,” Larsson explains, “we call this value-based healthcare.” To this end, BCG decided not to examine the costs of healthcare, but the quality. Their research revealed the dramatic variation of quality among hospitals. He takes his father-in-law and the potential outcome of a prostate cancer-related surgery as an example. If he were to receive treatment at an average German hospital, he would have a 50% chance of becoming incontinent. “You flip a coin. Fifty percent risk. That's quite a lot,” Larsson says. However, if he were to receive treatment at a specific clinic in Hamburg, the risk of becoming incontinent would be only one in 20. “Either you a flip a coin, or you have a one in 20 risk. That’s a huge difference. A seven-fold difference. When we look at many hospitals for many different diseases, we see these huge differences,” Larsson remarks.

He goes on to share what he sees as the solution to getting higher quality and cheaper healthcare. He suggests that doctors learn from each other, by measuring and sharing data. “By measuring and creating transparency, you get a cycle of continuous improvement,” he says. And it is not only a suggestion, but a reality that Larsson has helped make happen: “We're creating a large global community where we'll be able to measure and compare what we achieve.”

Larsson’s training in medicine and experience as a management consultant put him at the perfect crossroads for this topic, one he cares about deeply. “I believe measuring value in healthcare will bring about a revolution,” he proclaims. This man is on a mission to change healthcare for the better, all over the world.
