This is my experience working with McKinsey. The consultants on our team were incredibly smart and incredibly hard working, but internal politics and selling ideas to stakeholders is a huge part of their value.
It carries a lot of weight to say you worked with McKinsey on a proposal.
- mint2 6y agoI don’t understand this. Isn’t it common knowledge that hiring McKinsey or other consultants is often to do what you wanted while off loading the blame on the consultants? But because it’s a known reason for consultants shouldn’t it stop working? Why do people humor it and go along with the farce? Even then, even if they weren’t just cover, the person who hired them and let them do something poorly thought out or wrong should have responsibility.
