Your Impact
You will be serving clients in a transformation leader capacity, coaching them along their multi-year transformation journey.
You will operate as part of an engagement team, typically consisting of a team of 2-5 consultants led by an engagement manager. Together you will drive the day-to-day execution of a transformation effort to help clients achieve new performance highs in their business.
You will apply the McKinsey Transformation (MT) recipe of leveraging a holistic, execution-centric approach, in addition to integrating the best of the firm. This means you will primarily be working with clients to set-up and execute a best-in-class Transformation Office and the related Performance Infrastructure. You will deploy a standard cadence as well as MT's transformation management tool (Wave) and various assets/ solutions critical to a transformation spanning across organization health, capability building, digital, etc. Your work will be conducted across 3 standard phases: independent diligence phase (6-8 weeks), bottom-up phase (6-8 weeks) and implementation (12+ months).
You'll be based in Taipei office and will be part of the McKinsey Transformation (MT) team in Greater China as a Knowledge Analyst, primarily focused on the Transformation Office (TO). This is the heart of the MT methodology that orchestrates all client and McKinsey activity to set the pace, the tone and to drive the transformation.
McKinsey Transformation (MT) is a special unit of McKinsey that delivers a proven approach for transformational change to clients seeking radical and sustainable performance improvement. We are not ordinary consultants. We are specialists in transformative business improvement. We apply the proven methodology to allow us to rapidly unlock value. In addition to being counselors to our clients, we act as coaches, pushing our clients to do more than they thought was possible.
Over the last several years, we have worked with more than a hundred organizations around the world and across sectors. Most of our clients are driven by a desire to capture untapped potential; others face significant external challenges or industry discontinuities. With ~150 dedicated MT consultants and ~250 generalist consultants among our global affiliates, we serve clients in more than 50 countries, many of which are among the largest impact situations for the firm globally.
