The McKinsey Way - Using The Techniques of the World's Top Strategic Consultants to Help You and Your Business (Hardcover, Ed)

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)
