What we do

As the world rapidly evolves, so must the skills and competencies of an organization. Through McKinsey Academy, we teach and reinforce the skills and behaviors that individuals and organizations need to excel. We help build capabilities and change day-to-day mindsets and behaviors through a broad range of techniques, including digital and virtual programs, expert and peer coaching, on-the-job observation and feedback, reflection exercises, and simulations. This behavioral science–based approach helps individuals acquire new mindsets and skills, apply them in the context of real work, and build new habits that drive and sustain lasting change.
