Similar story. McKinsey was brought in to a company I was working with. Their purpose was to improve management efficiency and morale, which were both quite poor because the CEO had no actual industry experience and had brought his friends on as senior executives, who similarly had no idea what they were doing. McKinsey interviewed everyone for three months, literally reading questions from a playbook, had their junior staff write up some recommendations, and then promptly disappeared while effecting zero actual change. The company went bankrupt shortly thereafter. This is why management consulting has such a bad reputation in the tech community. On the other hand, McKinsey does do a pretty decent job of research and case studies since they’re able to work with so many prominent companies.
