welcome back Paul ... good to see you uploading again!

I want to work in BCG 😢

You never blink. Are you a sociopath?

Hi I am highly interested in this i am in a Strategy Consulting role

Now explain how they raise revenue... And it is not by "growing the business". Stop with the corporate buzz words that say nothing... Iets get down to the nuts, bolts amd boots on the ground...

Top down management has destroyed companies. This ridiculous view that the top can see everything doesn't work for a simple reason that most of the people at the top are naive to the technology etc at the bottom and the relationship between the company and the customer.

6:37 F4 key repeats the previous action. You could have used that after you copied the first rectangle to quickly create three more. Same for the copying down afterwards.

"here's an idea, how about you offshore all your work?" "Youll vastly reduce your costs and make record profits for a few years then of course the company will go broke, but by the time that happens youll be rich!"

Hey man, I want to edit 1 long form + 1 short form + make a thumbnail for you in absolutely FREE to prove my work. I will use custom animations/graphics, so that your audience will fully engage throughout the video. 1 chance is all I need 🤝

To me, McKinsey's hiring process looks like it assumes that human beings can not learn. Some are gifted, and that's what we want. Is that true?

Scientists informed this entire process but forgot it themselves along the way because all they communicate with are scientists. Stretch the process, add a lot more rigour and evidence, and the McKinsey process becomes the standard scientific process.

Hello, , I recently came across your UA-cam channel and was impressed by the quality of your content. However, after conducting a comprehensive analysis, I noticed there is room for improvement for your UA-cam channel to get more visitors and subscribers. • Your Video Title and description needs to be improved • You need to use more relevant tags and keywords • Organic promotion of Top social media • High-ranking tag setup (keyword, hashtag) If you want I can do a free UA-cam channel audit for you for your better understanding.

I like your channel, but this was a really Bad summary if the scientific method. It has nothing to Do with 6sigma or let alone mckinsey..... thats why it works pretty well.

SIMPLE QUESTION: WHAT EXACTLY does the top 3 do that cannot be done internally? Like the VERY VERY specifics, someone tell me please. What is the name of that deliverable(s)?

😱😭

May be by the end of this year I would be able to talk to my Excel Sheet and it would do vlookup for me. Scary? Relieving?

This takes 20 sec in python? Why brother with the chatinterface?

Amazing

1-5 is okay. I will get started with my accounting studies! Thank you.

I learnt about top-managment approach, and I liked how you contrasted it to the top-down approach.

The roll-out process makes me curious.

Thank you for the conenction between accounting and consulting; I am getting acquainted with the industry.

Here is an AI platform designed specifically to improve strategy consulting. It does about 75% of what a McKinsey, Bain, or BCG does in an extensive/expensive consulting engagement and does it in 90% less time. This will likely arm small to midsized consultants (and companies) with the data collection and analysis tools that the big houses (McKinsey, BCG, and Bain) have used and do it fast: ua-cam.com/video/R9UujbDZ_dU/v-deo.htmlsi=Qj7BasEBucdOMi2D

No longer the case today!

useful! thx

McKinsey employees are nothing but professional bullshitters. Never impressed by them corporate jargons

Playback 1.25x. Youre welcome

Love it 😊

Nice thank you 😊

Excellent interview, Tom has always had his finger on the pulse of these companies and is such a brilliant communicator

Wow I find this so fascinating. A friend's son started recently at McKinsey and I think he is on his way to some pretty amazing things in life and ultimately wants to end up in start ups in Silicon Valley - what a surprise right?! I think he will succeed - he's truly brilliant. I enjoyed this conversation so much. Thank you!

all I know is that management is the only consulting jig where you hire consultants with the least experience possible doing the actual thing you're hiring them to consult on. Look it's one thing if you're hiring them to take the blame for your plan to cut workers and pay to bump up the stock price, that's lame but that's actually understandable and everyone involved is getting what they expect... but actually hiring them to give real advice? I've no clue...

Quality content

Thanks for the content. Really inspiring.

Hi @strategyUn I’m starting as a strategy consultant soon and I’m nervous. Do you have any materials or books you would recommend I read ?

The greatest misconception for me was that this work is about working with successful entrepreneurs so you could learn a ton for yourself, while in reality you end up with corporate Bills and Joes who just want to get a good performance assessment so they could climb rheir corporate ladders further and pay off their mortgages. And in the process you build their case for repetetive restructing of departments while infusing "digital" and AI phrases to impress their bosses, not inventing new iPhone.. Yep, not that exciting as I naively expected..

it was super good and helpful video. Thank you a lot!

according to the graph, the revenue quadrupled in 5 years, not 4

excellent explanation for the book. quick and simple. Thank you.

We had McKinsey consultants restructure the dev delivery system in a company I worked at. They started off by laying off all British and American developers and moving everything offshore. All that remained were BA and Product Owners who would draw up spec and liase between the business and the devs. None of the McKinsey Consultants had ever worked in a dev team. The results were horrific. Dev times which had previously been a few weeks to do something started to become months. Worst part was the sheer level of technical debt that started to grow and was never addressed as the McKinsey consultants didn't know they had to deal with technical debt so didnt write it in to their processes. The company for the next few years made record profits due to the lowered wage bill. However now the company is screwed. The company is no longer a big player in its market as it is totally unable to develop new products etc.

You’re a blessing 🤩 thank you so much!!

Nothing wrong about having a very beautiful presentation, as long as function and content do what they are supposed to do efficiently.

Thank you for your insight. I am an MBA student at non Ivey school and want to get into consulting. What was your experience with working hours and work life balance? I have heard some consultants put in 80hr/week, is that true?

what font do you use in your slide?

As someone who transitioned from freelancing to working in a small team, I can relate to the challenges and the necessity to be Jack of all trades. Your point about the abundance of resources in a large consulting firm is interesting. With the advent of various AI tools, it suddenly feels as though I have a team ten times larger at my command, with tenfold the talent and resources. It's as if I now have access to data scientists, strategists, designers, and every kind of expert unferbthe sun that would have been unaffordable just a few years ago.

I am very motivated. I d worked at the bank/biggest bank in my country/ for 17 years and I left last year due to do different things which are more creative and more helpful to others. I started my own consulting firm last year. Honestly, I feel give up inside. But after watching your videos it gave me motivation. Thank you so much for your effort for us.
