Societal impact
We help leading institutions tackle some of the world’s most difficult societal problems
Leaders of foundations, NGOs, intergovernmental agencies, and global corporations rely on McKinsey to help them respond to important societal challenges.
“The work I’ve done at McKinsey—large-scale transformation programs, often on a national scale, and institution building—showed me what was possible.”

Complex problems—such as global poverty and access to quality health care—require collaboration among the public, private, and social sectors to achieve progress.
We take on these challenges as we do every challenge—by applying our unique capabilities, including a global network of experienced leaders, industry expertise, functional skills, and integrated problem solving.
And we have the same expectations for our work in the social sector as we do for our work in other sectors: substantial and lasting impact.
