Talk Like a Strategy Consultant (McKinsey's Culture)

The book "The Firm" by Duff McDonald goes into a lot of detail about the history of McKinsey and how a lot of these ideas were developed. Not sure if you read it in your research for this video, but I'd recommend it to people wanting to know more.

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 ?

Waste of time

Great video! Subscribed👌

Wonder what you all think about this: I use BLUF (Bottom Line Up Front) statements at the top of most of my emails and slides, with the supporting details as the content. I call this 2nd piece out as context. Then the 3rd thing I’ll add is additional detail.

I just discovered your channel and I really like your contract. Keep up the good work

Does this approach work if your leading a seminar for lower level , non executives?

Validating content reminding me of the importance of the value of speaking to the audience and not at them. Not only is it a good idea but it seems to be the start of rapport building.

Can you make a video about where to take the best consultant course certification? Please.

It's interesting, my experience is that some top management want the details first and then the recommendations. Perhaps it's just managing the content flow at the beginning so they know what to expect from the presentation.

Very useful! Thank you for your sharing!😊
