In this summary you will learn

  • What techniques McKinsey consultants use to solve problems
  • Why McKinsey prefers to market, rather than sell, its service
  • Why interviews are an essential source of information for problem solvers

Why you should read The McKinsey Way

Ethan M. Raisel describes the problem-solving process used by McKinsey & Company, a well-known corporate consulting firm. The book offers easily digested tips. The insightful section on conducting interviews and the tips on building teamwork are particularly useful. However, because the author and other McKinsey consultants are prohibited by confidentiality agreements from discussing the specifics of their cases, the book lacks real-world examples of the firm’s problem-solving approaches. getAbstract recommends this book to managers seeking useful information and problem solving techniques.
