Product Description |
|
The groundbreaking follow-up to the international bestsellera hands-on guide to putting McKinsey techniques to work in your organization McKinsey & Company is the most respected and most secretive consulting firm in the world, and business readers just can't seem to get enough of all things McKinsey. Now, hot on the heels of his acclaimed international bestseller The McKinsey Way, Ethan Rasiel brings readers a powerful new guide to putting McKinsey concepts and skills into actionThe McKinsey Mind. While the first book used case studies and anecdotes from former and current McKinseyites to describe how "the firm" solves the thorniest business problems of their A-list clients, The McKinsey Mind goes a giant step further. It explains, step-by-step, how to use McKinsey tools, techniques and strategies to solve an array of core business problems and to make any business venture more successful. Designed to work as a stand-alone guide or together with The McKinsey Way, The McKinsey Mind follows the same critically acclaimed style and format as its predecessor. In this book authors Rasiel and Friga expand upon the lessons found in The McKinsey Way with real-world examples, parables, and easy-to-do exercises designed to get readers up and running. |

Horrible! Full of fluff with little helpful substance |
|
As an MBA I bought this booking hoping to learn some valuable insights into how to structure, analyze and present problems. Unfortunately this book simply tell you that these things are important, but gives little in the way of guidance. |

States the bleeding obvious! |
|
I don't know why you would want to buy this book let alone read it. McKinsey's reputation has really diminished in the last few years. Their consultants are famous for stating the 'bleeding obvious', and if you've worked with them (like I have) then you'll know what I'm talking about. If you want to learn from the best then study up on Boston Consulting Group and Booz & Company. They're both in a class of their own and are now considered among the business community as the two most prestigious management consulting firms in the world. After reading the McKinsey Mind I was left with the impression the firm works at a basic level of management consulting and really has no idea what it's doing. Save your money and research the methodologies used by the other two firms I mentioned. |

Loved Mckinsey way...not nearly as Impressed with this... |
|
After reading McKinsey way, I immediately went out and bought this book. Don't get me wrong, there is a lot of good stuff in here, but I was just not impressed. I think I will reread it, and see if I can draw more from it, but the chapters were not interesting in the first read through. No strategy book is a complete waste, and I got a lot out of it, it was just not what I expected. |

Big flop |
|
Big name and promise, but poor content. Any aspiring MC can do away without it. If you find it at the road side, just browse through or couple of visits to yur nearby book shop will serve the purpose. In short don't buy. |

Not Much Here |
|
Not very useful if you are looking to improve your business. Would appreciate a deeper evaluation and more robust case studies. Seems as if authoer is using re-treads of basic McKinsey axioms over and over again. The 80/20 rule...seriously? This is not worth buying the book. |
