McKinsey’s Strategy Practice in Russia and the CIS helps clients develop and execute strategies to achieve breakthroughs in the use of resources—breakthroughs that have a positive, sustainable impact on all aspects of company competitiveness and activity. Top managers agree that superior strategies clearly differentiate a company from other market players, enabling it to achieve success and gain a unique competitive edge.
Strategy development addresses key issues related to business growth such as how, where, and when to compete. Accordingly, McKinsey’s Strategy Practice provides the necessary tools and expertise to ensure our clients make optimal strategic decisions within the context of the Russian and CIS markets.
Our strategy support helps clients achieve sustainable growth beyond the short-term, and we pay particular attention to dynamics that will affect the global economy in the next 5 to 10 years. We assist our clients during all stages of strategy development in the following areas:
- Understanding and quantifying economic indicators required for strategy design, such as return on capital employed, value of assets at risk, and share of impaired loans
- Conducting “deep-dive” analytics to explore promising opportunities, which includes designing strategies for key markets, developing cooperative relationships with international partners, and identifying scenarios to enter international markets
- Applying strategy-development tools that are advanced and proprietary to McKinsey, including situation modeling, scenario planning, development of solution schemes, and nonstandard approaches to problem solving
- Adopting methods to radically optimize cost structure and pricing, reduce noncritical expenses, achieve “explosive” profitability growth, and optimize cash flows and investments
