The groundbreaking follow-up to the international bestseller­­a hands-on guide to putting McKinsey techniques to work in your organization

McKinsey & Company is the most respected and most secretive consulting firm in the world, and business readers just cant seem to get enough of all things McKinsey. Now, hot on the heels of his acclaimed international bestseller The McKinsey Way, Ethan Rasiel brings readers a powerful new guide to putting McKinsey concepts and skills into action­­The McKinsey Mind. While the first book used case studies and anecdotes from former and current McKinseyites to describe how the firm solves the thorniest business problems of their A-list clients, The McKinsey Mind goes a giant step further. It explains, step-by-step, how to use McKinsey tools, techniques and strategies to solve an array of core business problems and to make any business venture more successful.

Designed to work as a stand-alone guide or together with The McKinsey Way, The McKinsey Mind follows the same critically acclaimed style and format as its predecessor. In this book authors Rasiel and Friga expand upon the lessons found in The McKinsey Way with real-world examples, parables, and easy-to-do exercises designed to get readers up and running.

The third volume in the internationally bestselling McKinsey Trilogy, "The McKinsey Engagement" is an action guide to realizing the consistently high level of business solutions achieved by the experts at the world's most respected consulting firms.

Former consultant Dr. Paul Friga distills the guiding principles first presented in the bestselling "The McKinsey Way" and the tested-in-the-trenches methodologies outlined in "The McKinsey Mind," and combines them with many of the principles and procedures implemented by the military and other organizations. The result is nothing less than the business equivalent of a "Special Forces Field Manual."

True to its stated goal of arming consultants and corporate problem solvers with a blueprint for achieving consistently phenomenal results, "The McKinsey Engagement" is short on theory and long on action. Each chapter focuses on one element in the celebrated TEAM FOCUS problem-solving model and features a concise discussion of a key concept or principle, followed by: Clear rules of engagement A set of operating tactics Sophisticated problem solving tools Easy-to-follow action steps Exercises, checklists, and training tips War stories and best practices case studies

A toolkit for bringing clarity, discipline, and purpose to all your problem-solving and change management initiatives, "The McKinsey Engagement" is an indispensable guide for consultants, as well as for executives, managers, students, and corporate trainers.
