Our expertise

A world of options

What truly distinguishes McKinsey is how we harness and apply our expertise. We operate as "one firm," which means we share people, knowledge, and resources freely across our global network in order to understand and solve our clients' toughest challenges. Simply put, we bring the right people to the table, no matter where in the world they happen to be.

We don't limit our thinking, either. The specialized expertise of each of our practices is open to everyone at McKinsey. Our consultants draw on this deep body of knowledge to prepare for client studies. And as they immerse themselves in a client's challenges, they often look to the firm's experience across other industries for insights and lessons to develop solutions.

Our resources

Building and sharing knowledge

As a global thought leader, we invest more than $400 million each year in what we call knowledge development and dissemination—research, studies, and reports that give us deep insights into the many industries, regions, and corporate functions we serve.

As part of our team, you’ll have access to these findings, which will quickly give you the insight you need to have credible conversations with clients about their situations.

Organizations worldwide depend on our insights, some of which we make available through our world-class "think tank," the McKinsey Global Institute, in McKinsey Quarterly, and in other influential publications such as Harvard Business Review and The Economist.
