McKinsey and Co is probably the best-known management consultancy
in the world. Even the most cynical exponent of the view that
business consultants 'borrow your watch to tell you the time, and
then keep the watch' would accept their pre-eminence. Here an
insider sets out to show how a McKinsey consultant thinks, how they
approach things and how those approaches can be valuable to others.
From identifying the cause of problems to making the consultant
role acceptable and helpful, the key approaches are presented
succinctly, enlivened by anecdotes, and provide valuable insights
into a unique aspect of the business world. (Kirkus UK)
