What is Digital McKinsey?
Digital McKinsey is a practice within McKinsey that focuses on helping clients across a range of industries to understand and harness the transformative power of technology. Digital McKinsey offers an exceptional opportunity to work at the intersection of business and technology.
It is comprised of nearly 1,000 McKinsey consultants globally who help clients think strategically about how to use technology to create fundamental business change.
What kind of work do Digital consultants do?
Digital consultants work on the same types of engagements as anyone else at McKinsey. On balance, however, we do more technology-related projects than others at the firm.
