McKinsey & Company is a global management consulting firm that serves leading businesses, governments, non-governmental organisations, and not-for-profits. McKinsey consultants help clients make lasting improvements to their performance and realize their most important goals.
McKinsey consultants serve clients at every level of their organisation, in whatever capacity they can be most useful, whether as a trusted advisor to top management or as a hands-on coach for front line employees.
McKinsey was founded in 1926 by James McKinsey. It is a global firm, comprising more than 9,000 consultants and nearly 2,000 research and information professionals. The Firm’s consultants have offices in more than 60 countries, speak more than 120 languages, and represent over 100 nationalities.
McKinsey and Company is designed to operate as one. It is a single global partnership united by a strong set of values, focused on client impact. Around 1,400 partners own the Firm, distributed roughly equally across Europe, the Americas, Asia, Middle East, and Africa. They have no headquarters in the traditional sense: the worldwide managing director, elected by the partners, chooses his or her home office, currently London. The Shareholders Council or Board also comprises partners elected by their peers. Its 30 members represent more than a dozen nationalities.
McKinsey takes a consistent approach to recruiting and developing its people, regardless of where they are based. This structure ensures that the Firm can quickly deliver the right team, with the right experience and expertise, to every client, anywhere in the world.
McKinsey’s work is founded on a rigorous understanding of every client’s institutional context, sector dynamics, and macroeconomic environment. For this reason, the Firm invests more than $400 million annually in knowledge development, and publishes insights through the McKinsey Quarterly, its flagship management journal, and the McKinsey Global Institute, its economic and business research arm.
