Only the bullshit kind of consulting McKinsey is known for, IMO. The value of someone coming in and repeating what the smart folks on the team are saying is no longer there. Plenty of boutique consulting shops are eating just fine right now. Delivering real results/solutions and being a SME is always in demand.
- jncfhnb 2y agoI don’t do that kind of thing but for what it’s worth The value of coming in and listening to what smart people are saying and then telling the C Suite to actually do it is hugely valuable when the organization is otherwise paralyzed by bureaucracy.
- blinded 2y agoFor sure! Just a real frustrating aspect of change in enterprise.

- mordymoop 2y agoI have worked in specialist consulting for 10 years and I agree with this take. Our business does the best during times of uncertainty. During lean times, operators want to make sure they are allocating capital intelligently, so they pay for our insights and advice. In the good times, they just plow all their revenue into making the flywheel spin faster, no need to be cautious or thoughtful when money is coming in no matter what you do.
