I don’t know who this person is but something tells me he is the son of a wealthy family who has connections to all of those brands.
How far off am i?
That job does not sound like a real job, it sounds like a job title that is a thinly veiled excuse to arrange perpetual exclusive socialism for the rich.

You aint wrong, McKinsey is the ultimate job farm for mid grade nepo babies and/or elite school graduates.
For example, Ursula von der Leyen hired McKinsey for German Army re-org...
then both of her children got plush jobs at the firm, her daughters 3 years there then leveraged into elite degree a Stanford

There is a club, and most people see it before their eyes and still somehow manage to not see it for it is.
Just work harder!

jqubedWait, she went on parental leave from her job, as in having a newborn baby, and used that time to get a master’s degree? Either the baby didn’t spend much time with mom or the degree is a joke, because I have a really hard time imagining having the energy to work on a serious master’s degree in a year or less while taking care of an infant!
C’mon now…
If they can’t charge all that money to be wrong. How can they pay the US government the $722,000,000.00 they owe?

You think Purdue Pharma could have made all those drug addicts customers without McKinsey pushing pills for them?
Won’t some think of the Billionaires stock portfolios!
Fair, but like, nothing sells itself like opiates. [I’m actually aware they’re the ones who encouraged the massive ad campaign focused on claiming oxycontin isn’t addictive, though given Sackler previous behavior I believe in their ability to figure that strategy out on their own]
Well, consulting is often used because they need an answer to a question. That may be open-ended like:
“What moves should we make to expand our business?”
But other times they just want confirmation:
“Should we merge with Discovery?” (Sure, I guess. Here are some reasons you could. cha-ching)
“Should we split with Discovery?” (Sure, I guess. Here are some reasons you could. cha-ching)
Other times they just need to pay people to give them excuses to lay off people. McKinsey’s always available for that.

What would you say… you do here?
jballsWhen Chipotle got a new CEO (Brian Niccol, who has since become the Starbucks CEO) a few years back, they were headquartered in Denver. But the CEO loved in Newport Beach. So they brought in a consulting management firm to examine where the best place in the country was for them to have their corporate headquarters.
After weeks of analysis - surprise, surprise - they determined that the best place they could possibly have a corporate headquarters was in Newport Beach, where the CEO lived.
So they fired most of their corporate workers and moved the office to be closer to the CEOs house.
“Sorry we don’t do remote work and you’ll have to come into the office.”
“Counterpoint: …”
Starbucks has a mandatory 3 day a week RTO policy, but this same CEO did not relocate from Newport beach to Seattle.
Instead, he has the corporate private jet fly him 2000 miles round trip every week.
Starbucks is giving its new CEO Brian Niccol a private jet to commute between his California home and Seattle office
Newly named Starbucks CEO Brian Niccol won’t be a constant presence at its Seattle’s headquarters when he begins the job next month. Instead, he’s going to commute weekly from his California home.
Seems like a solid solution. Why doesn’t everyone just do that?
sp3ctr4lObviously you should keep paying my $1.3 million annual salary. We just paid McKinsey $30 million to say how vital my department is
When you used to work for them and hope to return someday as partner, so you push as much business their way as you can.
Sounds like a job that would be easy to replace with ChatGPT.
Guess what the guys an MC Kenzie are doing…
pelespiritTo be fair, every single one of those changes was probably done by an intern and approved by a boss that didn’t read it, but thought because the intern was young they had the “pulse of what’s cool” in their hands. Also, we don’t know know if what was done was the actual advice given. That would be a great game though, “guess who came up with that idea.”
Their new company split is not splitting Warner Brothers from Discovery though. They are splitting the company in a different way.
A critical part of being a consultant is personally knowing rich people who will pay you millions of dollars for your advice, regardless of what it is. “Giving good advice” is barely relevant.
Why are consulting companies so successful? Is it all connections? Their role in appeasing investors by external intervention and change (no matter how useful)?
It is all connections and a box checking for the board and/or CEO.
The CEO can deflect bad outcomes on the consulting company for suggesting doing what the CEO had in mind to do, but didn’t have the board’s approval.
Corporate consulting is such a giant fucking grift and they are responsible for the enshitification of so much.
Why are there no employees to help you on the sales floor or at the register? The CEO wanted to hit a performance metric to maximize their bonus and brought in a consulting company to advise. The consulting company looked for low-hanging fruit, which is cutting costs in the form of payroll. The CEO dips when there is no meat left on the bone. The next CEO hires a consulting company to maximize the bonus and then you get fake sales to mask a following price increase. CEO dips and the next CEO’s consultants gives the consumer a rewards program to harvest data to sell and drive sales through psychological manipulation(See Kohl’s cash).
Corporate consultants are horrible people with business degrees looking to harvest marrow from a stripped corpse.
Consulting companies are just esoteric quacks but for businesses.
Prestige and the perception of impartiality, alongside the ability to serve as fall guys. And to a significantly lesser degree they can tell you things you actually don’t know or make recommendations when you’re stuck because they’re an outside set of eyes.
What this means is when you decide to make a controversial decision they can take the heat in place of experts, and unlike internal experts you don’t wind up in a particularly flimsy situation when you inform them of what they’ll be suggesting. And if it all goes as poorly as it might you can blame them. (And everyone knows this so the consultants are shielded)
And for the situation where you don’t actually know what to do, theoretically thet may or may not be bad at it. If you’re stuck you’re stuck and not only can they possibly help, they can definitely provide cover for a bad call or an unwinnable situation
To a certain degree they’re a result of people in a position to spend large amounts of money whose job is to make calls.
Consulting services are vital because they improving corporate synergy by utilizing market solutions and relocating potential where it is needed most.
Don’t forget that they also leverage institutional assets to extract value using best practices!
PeppycitoThen I apply an herb-mint facial mask, which I leave on for 10 minutes while I prepare the rest of my routine. I always use an aftershave lotion with little or no alcohol, because alcohol dries your face out and makes you look older. Then moisturiser, then an anti-ageing eye balm followed by a final moisturising protective lotion.

AvicennaBusiness consultations always looks like such huge grifts. Here is the reason why they are so expensive though: many times startups and companies that take consultation fail and declare bankruptcy and don’t pay the consultancy fees they were supposed to pay. So they charge others extra to (over) compensate. I wonder how they justify their existence, probably by coming up with some made up statistics about how they make many companies more successful. I am pretty sure they are also behind AI enshittification by suggesting companies to jump on the band wagon.
They’re expensive because they’re cover for the executives to make a move. The executives can shield liability and justify any change by saying they did it in consultation with a big firm. It’s virtually impossible to pierce that with a lawsuit.
They’ve developed a perpetual consulting loop. Genius.
On the other hand, they’re grifting Zaslav, who is possibly the worst person in show business, so…maybe let them cook.
