Finding ways of increasing productivity that rivals such an efficient systematization, it's gonna be next to impossible.

Anyone fortunate enough to work at one of the Big 4 accounting firms or the Big 3 Consulting firms will have a bright future in developing high performance teams.

​@@jzk2020 Kind of. Depends on what you mean by that. McKinsey works closely with the crown price of Saudi Arabia and together they drafted Vision 2030 which aims to wean Saudi Arabia from its dependency on oil revenues and modernize its economy. They also plan to (you wont find this on their Vision 2030 website) help Prince Mohammed consolidate power and in that make sure that the Saudi family stays in power. Rumor has it that they even helped his crackdown on dissidents. Now, the fact that Saudi Arabia is a dictatorship and that the Prince is aiming to grab more power for himself is of course terrible from a ethical point of view. But the plan itself is not all bad though. McKinsey's and Mohammads plan, if it succeeds, will change the both character of Saudi Arabia and the tone and tenor of Islam across the globe for the better. But they're still taking money from and helping a dictator.

A lot of the other 'cases' didn't really prevent much evidence it seemed, besides saying that the company had received consulting from McKinsey. I know a lot of it probably isn't retrievable because of the secrecy around the company, but I would have been interested in hearing more about the correlation between McKinsey consulting and the impact on the company.

Is it worth the money paid for what these guys do? I highly doubt so. However, it is often with the backing of companies like these that certain management agendas could be pushed to the higher levels. That people are willing to pay for services as such shows that there is still a strong perceived value towards them. So essentially what McKinsey had done best is not in providing actual business value, but in increasing its perceived value via its decades-long branding. I think they are way overpriced too anyways.

Worked for a utility and we had to go through FERC training which is federal regulations for utilities. All of it stemmed from the Enron debacle. Basically if an energy company sells energy and produces it, they must take measures to ensure that those two groups do not collude. If a commodities trader is in an elevator with a coal plant operator, they are not allowed to talk about their jobs. (Say the coal plant has to shut down for a week. They could call the trader and alert them there's about to be a coal shortage and the prices are about to jump up.) Uh huh - sure, collusion would never take place if you have a new set of rules. It's absurd to think McKinsey's investment division never talks to their consulting division. And to assume they follow that rule is insane. So insane that it's no longer the fault of McKinsey when something goes wrong, it's the fault of the idiot organizations that believed them in the first place.

McKinsey started in 1926, back then there weren't many famous consulting firms and Mckinsey used that to their advantage by selling their ideas aka solutions to the business problems in various large companies. As most of the large companies are already uses to McKinsey's services, they keep coming back for more. And everything else has been briefly explained in the video. In my opinion, it was pretty informative but you're right, there really is so much more to know about this secretive firm's success.

Thanks man. I did not understand the praise for this video in the comments. It’s like I learned nothing new here.

[@markburnham7512]

I worked at a company as is got "McKinsey'd". I watched the company go from a fairly humane enterprise to absolutely cut throat.

[@YapperU]

Was this a documentary or an ad?

[@LeonardoDeVinci1452]

They want trust from the Public? They did not get that big on helping the public. They got big on managing the public. That is a big difference

[@tca666]

Ai, analytics and internet is slowly killing this kind of consulting business. Theyve been disrupted big time

If the employees are U.S nationals, chances are they have attended Ivey League universities via legacy admission preferences.

Unless they’re affirmative action hires, then Howard, Holyoke, etc. get looks.

Not just in the US mate, Globally they only hire from "specific" schools. Scam artists hiring the children of scam artists!

[@DrEhrfurchtgebietend]

And now 4 years later the company is collapsing

[@CHMichael]

I'm always surprised on how many smart successful people dont know about McKinsey

[@unknown9106]

This is just an ad for the company

[@eastongriffin3790]

People browsing youtube are not their client base, pretty sure clients come to them

[@jackalpha9670]

People focused on Google and Facebook, and forgot about the real bad guys.

[@xdemgeo3581]

Consulting is basically professional bullshitting

[@gradstudent584]

What really grinds my wheels is when non-Western governments bring in these consultancies for projects. Governmental projects in the non-West especially require people who have their ears to the ground. I have personally seen projects in my country go to doldrums where these global consultants were brought in. Such a colossal waste of public money! From what I have seen, these consultants are nowadays used by corporate to show off that they have done the formalities in public while they carry on with whatever they want in the background.

[@therightgame3]

Looks more like an ad for McKinsey..!

[@barackobama5530]

OHHHH, this is what Mckinsey is!

[@doctorboot7191]
