How consulting corporations are influencing governments around the world | Business Beyond

[@mattpeterman]

You also forgot to mention. In Australia they contracted to PWC and what was occurring was that they on the 1 hand advised the government on new tax reforms to go after big business who avoid tax. And at the same time consulted those same businesses how to get around those same laws. Massive conflict of interest. They then got banned for years. Others came close to getting banned too. It caused massive outrage.

Oh wow

Ex McKinsey alumni who was also a Starbuck CEO recently was sacked and the stock tanked 20% in a day!

Read - The Big Con: How the Consulting Industry Weakens Our Businesses, Infantilizes Our Governments, and Warps Our Economies by By Mariana Mazzucato. The book was published on February 23, 2023.

[@999timepass]

RIP off brought this issue into public attention long ago. It did not stop them.

[@subhasisghosh66]

And most of the consultancies are now sacking their staff. Clearly, they did not get their projections of business correctly.

[@stanleykubrick8786]

This is a sector which learned and honed lessons from Machiavelli and Ed Bernays very well

[@Cyan_Nightingale]

I can attest. People I worked with when I was working in consulting agency were mostly Machiavellian-type (i'm not an American)

[@Thomas-ln1nn]

I'm sorry but who is naive enough to hire BCG to design a hospital??

[@h.nguyen4193]

everyone that works at a hospital know's we speak another language the public might not understand. For a consulting firm to go into a hospital and change the way it functions is astonishing.

[@johnnywang9731]

Not only astonishing, totally unethical

[@Rtt-tr5pq]

What if the consulting firm itself is staffed with doctors and former nurses…this is often the case.

[@h.nguyen4193]

@@Rtt-tr5pq There's a thing in healthcare called Continued education credits. Annually for example we're supposed to have 30 credits (every state and position is different). To get said credits we're supposed to take classes to update us on the latest medical procedures and lingo. People lose the ability to understand new medical lingo when they leave the profession. So when you say former doctors and nurses doesn't mean a thing.

[@TwoVIPGlobal]

Very timely intervention on this important topic, it has just given more ways to look at this shady business of Consultancy.

[@aeromtb2468]

i remember considering Anderson in the late 90s out of engineering school for the money, but didnt want to wear a suit nor consult without experience.

[@zolisamaine3518]

For as long as human can't live in unity, organizations will be our middle man with the power of both worlds. ⚖

[@nukiolbartes6279]

Its not like government not aware of the illusion. It is just too comfortable.

[@soumimukherjee6748]

It’s all about control..give a chance to anyone in this video to join these orgs for a hefty amount and they will join…it’s just that competitors are building narratives against them and using the press for it

[@garanglester]

I think with the volumes of evidence that exists; Corporations are already ruling the world. The one thing that the corporatocracy was not doing yet is the very job of governing. Now through the outsourcing of government policy to big consulting corporations, even governing is now done by corporations. Why should we continue to elect governments if private business firm will end up doing the governing for them?

[@fudgerace4356]

Good question. Thats why Arab Gulf countries is rich. they dont waste time & money on democracy. The country runs like a company own by one family

[@universeslap]

Thank you for this docu. I appreciate it dearly❤️

[@supersmart671]

You should read the book McKinsey way...its just brutal.

[@GustavoSilva-ny8jc]

Fantastic mind blowing video

[@WellbeingToPeace]

Seems an ethics policy which protects consultancies from conflicts of interest, exposure to politically driven or divisive interests, election interference etc, based on strongly internalized values, vision and mission, might be the need of the hour. A definition of ethical leadership was already drafted by Mc Kinsey, which is brilliant, and if they demand mutual adherence to that definition from their clients, including Governments, they would surely move the needle for our world to become more honest, decent, and value driven💜🙏🕊️

[@Mogul_philosopher]

Something to understand. Management employees are high achievers and generally smarter. Government employees at times just do the bare minimum

[@alexandreschiller2181]

At 10:17, an image from a McKinsey report is presented, showing three supposed enemies of Saudi Arabia. However, the last image does not appear to be Ahmad, but rather Brazil’s President, Lula.

[@programming658]

We need to ban consultants to work like an employees. They should only be allowed to consult in a meeting which recorded. Now either they are being used like 2nd class workers or steer companies for their profit under name of management consultants

[@alnash1433]

Why using trump in the thumbnail, why not german chancellor schroeder, who in fact was in a payroll frim Gazprom

[@fongponto]

Or a Bearbock or a Vanderleyen

[@PauloMagalhaesE]

@DW Wrong picture at 10’21’.The picture attributed to Ahmad in the McKinsey slide is an old picture of Brazilian president Lula.

[@edisonching5202]

If you like to con people and to insult people.. you consult.

[@A0A4ful]

Very clear. No con-fusion.

[@henrikbergman4055]

In my experience they are often smooth talkers. So would specify the 'insult' part to 'insult peoples intellect'. Also, it's very difficult for them to wash away their "consultant mindset" if you employ them.

[@KIIXI]

Well state of west clearly shows how good of a job these consultancies have done.

[@DanielMasmanian]

And guess what happens to the people who work for them? These firms turn intelligent humans into egocentric monsters

[@CrimsonA1]

This is what happens when you have a bunch of people with luxury beliefs working in top positions within the real world: all projection and little substance.

[@G3CK0GUY]

Former McKinsey, buddy couldn't invest in a canvas print of that Bon Iver poster?

[@theadchefer]

don’t think most people care that much about superficial things

[@VicharB]

Expertise that is not always there, but high fees are always there, along with corruption schemes, when needed = All big and heneral Consulting companies.

[@urimtefiki226]

They are like a police here where I live, in one side takes the information from you on the other side helps the criminals how to plunder you more.

[@Arnisboy]

McKinsey has consulted *for Ukrainian oligarchs, etc. I don't want to be pedantic but saying "McKinsey consulted X" sounds like the firm is the client, not the consultant

[@urbanstrencan]

This kind of consultancy companies have too much power on politics

Economic hitmen.

[@hakunamatata324]

Consulting corporations are a cancer!!!! Look at the DEI ( Diversity, equity, and inclusion ) organization are doing. The gaming industry is dead, companies are losing millions or billions of dollars combines, big techs such Microsoft and many others, are doing massive layoffs because of this so called "consulting". If this mess is happening within the social sphere, you better believe that within the politics sphere, things are way uglier and darker.

[@prasunmishraa24]

Do you Germans not have problem with any sector/domain/country/industry/anything?
