The primary objective of The Blue Cross and Blue Shield Association is to strengthen and protect the Blue Cross and Blue Shield brand, one of the most recognized brands in America and the choice of nearly 90 million Americans for their health care coverage. The Corporate Strategy group is part of the dedicated Strategic Services division of the Association. Corporate Strategy consultants work directly with senior executives of the 41 independent Blue Cross and Blue Shield companies, as well as the senior executives in the Association to develop business strategies which address the most pressing issues in the healthcare industry. The Corporate Strategy team of management consultants often leads cross-functional teams of subject-matter experts within the Association (e.g., research, operations, information technology), and utilizes rigorous analysis and market research to develop fact-based strategy solutions.

Corporate Strategy is comprised of professionals with diverse backgrounds in business consulting, economics, marketing, and healthcare operations. The Corporate Strategy staff is responsible for building relationships with healthcare leaders and identifying business opportunities and challenges. Corporate Strategy consultants acquire broad expertise in the most critical business issues in healthcare, including addressing rising healthcare costs, developing new products and services, and finding ways to address the uninsured population. Several former consultants from Strategic Services have moved on to become senior executives in the healthcare industry.

An advanced degree in an analytical discipline or an MBA
