Impact

McKinsey helps leaders who shape the world

We are privileged to serve leaders and organizations whose work and influence have world-shaping impact.

We assist them with their biggest challenges and most promising opportunities, and we’re motivated by being a positive force for change.

For example:

• In the Middle East, we worked with a nation’s leading hospital to reduce waiting times for diagnostic radiography from 262 days to 9 days.
• In Eastern Europe, we helped a financial services group gain 25 percent market share to become the dominant franchise in the region.
• In Latin America, we helped a local telecom company successfully expand across the region.
• In Europe, we helped implement an innovative CO₂ trading platform that aspires to reduce pollutants across the region.
• In the United States, we’re helping cable companies revolutionize advertising.
• In China, we developed a plan for the downtown shopping area of one of the busiest cities in the world.
• In South America, we developed a new public transportation infrastructure for a capital city.
• In Africa, we’re building more effective partnerships between countries, companies, and nonprofits to fight diseases such as AIDS and malaria on a global scale.

Personal impact
Impact is about more than helping organizations; it’s about helping people as well.

Maybe it’s assisting a colleague who's developing new expertise, or crafting a flexibility program for someone with a new child, or coaching a client teammate to make a presentation to the CEO.

We measure impact in many ways.
