Business Technology Office
Our Business Technology Office (BTO) consolidates our technology consulting competencies. With around 400 consultants worldwide, we support clients to find solutions to their critical technology-related issues while using the McKinsey problem-solving approach. Our clients are active in various industry sectors, including financial services, telecommunications, logistics, health care, media, and energy.

The Business Technology Office looks for (junior) associates. BTO consultants have to meet the same criteria as any McKinsey consultant in the hiring process (problem-solving skills, leadership, drive, and personal impact) both in screening and during interviews. In addition, we look for the following skills that are specific to technology in candidates for McKinsey Business Technology:
  • Understanding of, and interest in, current technology trends and technologies, their impact on business strategy, and their implications for senior managers creating and sustaining competitive advantage and transforming business processes is vital.
  • Prior experience working with a technology company, a technology consulting firm, or a high-performing corporate IT department or managing large technology projects is desirable, though not a "must."
  • Competency in a technical discipline such as e-business building, technology-enabled operations, post-merger integration, customer value management, or IT architecture is valued but not required.

Here's a list of some of the functional areas in which we serve clients:
  • Application management
  • Outsourcing (including near shoring and offshoring of end-to-end operational processes for IT—infrastructure and AD/M—horizontal processes such as finance and accounting, HR, and vertical processes within industries such as R&D for high-tech industries)
  • IT architecture (the underlying business IT blueprint and governance mechanisms that enable effective delivery of a client’s core business processes)
  • IT cost (assessing and reducing IT costs in line with strategic priorities, and managing for sustained efficiency)
  • IT governance and organization (defining IT organization structure and alignment with the business, including governance and IT management processes)
  • IT infrastructure
  • IT in operations (ERP, SCM, service operations) (the intersection of operations and technology, where IT or e-enablement are key drivers of operations transformation)
