11 | Management Consulting Awards 2026 Leaders in AI-Enabled Business Transformation 2026 – Switzerland Artificial intelligence has become one of the defining topics for management teams across Europe. Companies are exploring new use cases, reviewing technologies and preparing their organizations for change, although they rarely begin from the same point. MMG Management Consulting has built its AI offering around that reality. Following the firm’s recognition as a “Leader in AI-Enabled Business Transformation 2026 - Switzerland”, we spoke with Christian Bosshard, one of MMG’s Managing Partners, about the firm’s approach to AI and why organizations rarely need the same answer. Founded in Zurich in 2012 by former PwC consultants, MMG is a European management consulting firm with offices in Zurich, Vienna and Barcelona. The firm combines the agility and senior-level attention of a boutique consultancy with the scale and ambition of a growing international player. With a clear focus on innovation, sourcing and delivery, MMG offers its clients tailor-made consulting services supported by an extensive network of proven specialists and strategic partnerships. MMG tackles today’s challenges by adopting innovative solutions with creativity, experience and a touch of fun. The idea behind the firm has remained consistent over the years. Complex business problems deserve clear strategic thinking, practical solutions and consultants who stay involved until the work is done. That philosophy has shaped MMG’s work for more than a decade and continues to define how it also shapes the firm’s work in artificial intelligence. “There is no single AI playbook,” says Christian Bosshard, Managing Partner at MMG. “Some clients are exploring their first use cases, while others are already thinking about governance, scaling or agentic AI. Our job is to meet them where they are, build the right team around the challenge and enjoy solving the problem together”. An AI Maturity Assessment can help establish where an organization stands and which areas deserve attention next. From there, the engagement is shaped around the client. An initial discovery workshop, for example, can identify and prioritize promising use cases, while organizations further along may require support with strategy, sourcing, implementation or scaling. The conversation always starts with the business. AI programmes can involve technology choices, new processes, governance, and changes to existing ways of working. A client with a well-developed strategy may need support selecting the right technology partner. Another may have successful pilots and need the delivery capacity and business engineering expertise to bring them into production. MMG structures its work around the situation at hand, with senior consultants supporting in every step of the way. The firm’s wider delivery capabilities play an important role. MMG provides programme and project management, business analysis, business engineering, agile delivery and testing. Together, these disciplines allow the firm to stay involved from the early stages of an initiative through implementation and go-live. They also reflect a characteristic of MMG’s consulting philosophy which is that recommendations must work in the reality of an organization, with its existing systems, processes and people. That perspective has been shaped by years of work in financial services, insurance, healthcare, retail and other complex environments. In these sectors, new technology must fit established processes, regulatory obligations, security requirements and existing systems. Good ideas still need owners, budgets, governance and people who can make them work. For Christian, this practical approach of consulting is closely linked to MMG’s culture. The firm values creativity, ambition and thoughtfulness, with a preference for direct conversations and plain language. It has little patience for buzzwords without a business case. The humor is deliberate, and so is the standard of work. MMG describes itself as small enough to care, experienced enough to deliver and ambitious enough to keep building. The Wealth & Finance award recognizes MMG’s work at a time when AI is becoming part of mainstream business transformation. MMG has built its AI offering around that range of needs and around a principle that has guided the firm for years: understand the client’s situation, bring the right people together and get the work done with a smile.
