industries and a wide range of management challenges. He is expert at quickly

mentored, and retained to service the target clients. 1VIr. Carney was responsible

systems, management, and strategic planning consulting services firms, with well over 80,000 employees
and $10 billion annual revenues. Mr. Carney joined the Pittsburgh office in 1976 directly from graduate
school. He worked there for over 21 years, the last 10 as a Partner. In addition to the Pittsburgh office,
he spent the latter half of his career with Accenture in the Miami office. His clients were located around
the world and in many industries including healthcare, government, insurance, manufacturing, banking
and finance, higher education, architecture and engineering, transportation, telecommunications, retailing,
public utilities, and food services. His most extensive experience has been with the govennment and
health care sectors. in his line Partner role, he sold and supervised more than $10 million in professional
services fees annually.

excellence center, member of the Security Practice Committee, Justice Practice member, and minority

In the health care arena, Mr. Carney has extensive IT experience. He designed and implemented
numerous real time order eM~y/patient care/patient accounting systems for hospitals across the eastern

he developed a transition strategy to operate in the prospective reimbursement environment, working
closely with academic thought leaders to install a new approach within the management group. He
worked at many institutions to implement an information based case management approach. Many of his
projects focused on leveraging information technology to improve both the quality of care and cost
Gregory A. Carney Page 2
effectiveness. He has also worked with individual institutions and community wide on service planning
issues. th his healthcare clients, as well as his clients in other industries, there was a strong emphasis on
implementing technology as part of a broader solution in helping clients achieve their key strategic
objectives. For a number of years, Mr. Carney ran the Health Care Consulting Practice for the South
Florida and Caribbean Region. In his work both in the Pittsburgh office and in Miami, Mr. Carney spent
a good deal of time working closely with hospital administration, hospital boards, attending physicians,
nurses, technicians, other care providers, and administrative staff. He is comfortable dealing with all
constituencies. A sample of Mr. Gurney's clients include University of Pittsburgh Medical Center
Presbyterian Hospital, UPMC Childress Hospital, Mercy Hospital of Pittsburgh, Allegheny General

One of the more challenging projects he managed in the government sector involved completely
converting a major court system (including the judges) from paper to electronically imaged document
handling. This was a 2 year, $24 million project and at the time this was only the second such use of
electronic content management. Not only did this project deal with difficult, leading edge technical
issues, but the organizational issues were multiplied due to a unionized work force and an elected key
client. Using an innovative approach, very significant labor savings were realized while negative political
fallout was avoided. Another very large government project Mr. Carney directed was the implementation
