McKinsey is the 800-pound gorilla on the consulting block. In the best-selling The McKinsey Way>/I>, Ethan Raisel provided a through-the-keyhole perspective on the way this worldwide consulting institution approaches--and solves--the myriad professional problems encountered by its high-powered clientele. His goal in that book was simple: to communicate "new and useful skills to everyone who wants to be more useful in their business." The McKinsey Way used recollections and anecdotes of problem-solving techniques of the world's most successful consulting firm. The McKinsey Mind uses the same combination of insider knowledge and lucid prose to go a step farther: where The McKinsey Way showed readers what to do, The McKinsey Mind will show readers how to do it. The outline of the book will follow the same format as The McKinsey Way . It uses the same "lesson headings" as the original ("Don't Reinvent the Wheel," "Feel Free to be MECE"), but with a different focus. And that is where the similarity ends. The headings will be reorganized into a structure that focuses on implementation and expands upon lessons of The McKinsey Way with examples, parables, and exercises. The book can be used together with The McKinsey Way , or as a stand-alone, ensuring that both fans of The McKinsey Way and new readers will take-away important skills from the book.
