Yes even McKinsey had to realise at some point that the bulk of the money was now in IT consulting, prestige be damned. But I have to give you that they have spun a good tale around it as usual.
- spywaregorilla 4y agoCurrent McKinsey. It's a big decentralized firm so it's hard to say definitively what other groups are doing but I don't think we're doing "IT consulting" if you mean the body shops that do implementation work like Accenture. The engineers and folks are mostly because we need to do a lot of stuff with analytics and working with different platforms as needed.
- WastingMyTime89 4y agoI knew it would touch a nerve but yes, McKinsey is currently doing things which are not very far from what Accenture is doing minus the putting developers in seats part and that’s very much what I would call IT consulting - quotes non included because I still don’t like smelling my own fart enough to despise actual work. You could try to spin it and say they only touch the high value complex parts of issues – I will concede that if there is one thing McKinsey is good at invoicing aside it’s putting a shiny coat of paint on things – but the reality is they do relatively unglamorous and low brow things for the money.
