Step-by-step, they guide you through using McKinsey tools to tackle any business problem, making your ventures more successful than ever. So whether you're a seasoned pro or a business newbie, The McKinsey Mind is like having a secret code to unlock the secrets of the business world. Get ready to take your organization to the next level – McKinsey style!
Review: Insightful for Decision Makers, Presenters, and those very new to Consulting - This is a good business book. If you are completely new to consulting, or making data-driven decisions much like a consultant, this is a good book to get a general idea of how to structure thoughts and communicate clearly. The book is broken down into three sections: analyzing problems, managing (client, team, self), and presenting. Section one, on analyzing problems, does not lead you through a business case or prepare you to interview with a firm, which is seemingly what many expected, based on customer reviews. It does provide, at a high level, concepts to explore further: being hypothesis-driven, working with issue trees, synthesizing. Section two, presenting, is the section I got the most out of. This section provides a clear way to get your message across. I had heard most of it before ("Tell them what you are going to tell them. Tell them. Tell them what you told them.") but the ideas for creating single charts in PowerPoint presentations and avoiding reading from outlines on the screen made me reminisce of countless crappy presentations in class. The book ends with tips on managing the client, team, and self. The client information had some insights (they are future business). So much has been written on managing teams and self but Rasiel and Friga do explain its relevance in the book and keep it brief. Again, good business book. A fifth star would have been given for providing follow up reading or tips on developing the skills and techniques that are only touched on.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐ Insightful for Decision Makers, Presenters, and those very new to Consulting

This is a good business book.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Methodology vs. Problem Solving Tools
*by E***Z on January 7, 2012*

Is this a 5 star book or a 2.5 star book? Well, it depends which of these 2 questions are you trying to answer: 1) Are you trying to find out the consulting methodology that the Firm uses in order to solve problems and have their clients come back for more? 2) Are you trying to find out what analytically consulting tools does the Firm uses? If you have selected number 1, then you will love (5 star) this book, because it is a window into the McKinsey world and it primarily focuses on the consulting methodology used by the Firm, but at a high level. (It also touches upon a few problem solving tools like the Issue Tree, Quick and Dirty Test, Hypothesis and Decision/Logic tree, but at a superficial level.) If you have selected number 2, then you will be disappointed, since the authors show only a few tools and, even then, they only go into it at a high level; therefore, you might be inclined to rate this book poorly.
