The McKinsey Mind

/I>! Ethan Raisel provided a through-the-keyhole perspective on the way this worldwide consulting institution approaches--and solves--the myriad professional problems encountered by its high-powered clientele. His goal in that book was simple: to communicate "new and useful skills to everyone who wants to be more useful in their business." The McKinsey Way used recollections and anecdotes of problem-solving techniques of the world's most successful consulting firm. The McKinsey Mind uses the same combination of insider knowledge and lucid prose to go a step farther: where The McKinsey Way showed readers what to do! The McKinsey Mind will show readers how to do it. The outline of the book will follow the same format as The McKinsey Way. It uses the same "lesson headings" as the original ("Don't Reinvent the Wheel!" "Feel Free to be MECE")! but with a different focus. And that is where the similarity ends. The headings will be reorganized into a structure that focuses on implementation and expands upon lessons of The McKinsey Way with examples! parables! and exercises. The book can be used together with The McKinsey Way! or as a stand-alone! ensuring that both fans of The McKinsey Way and new readers will take-away important skills from the book.

Klappentext The First Step-by-Step Manual for Achieving McKinsey-Style Solutions--and Success International bestseller The McKinsey Way provided a through-the-keyhole look at McKinsey & Co., history's most prestigious consulting firm. Now, the follow-up implementation manual, The McKinsey Mind , reveals the hands-on secrets behind the powerhouse firm's success--and discusses how executives from any field or industry can use those tactics to be more proactive and successful in their day-to-day decision-making. Structured around interviews and frontline anecdotes from former McKinsey consultants--as well as the authors, themselves McKinsey alumni-- The McKinsey Mind explores how McKinsey tools and techniques can be applied to virtually any business problem in any setting. Immensely valuable in today's crisis-a-minute workplace, it discusses: Techniques for framing problems and designing analyses Methods for interpreting results and presenting solutions Keys for managing teams, managing clients, and managing yourself The ability to think in a rigorous, structured manner--a McKinsey manner--is not a birthright.
