What you'll do
You will be serving clients in a transformation leader capacity, coaching them along their multi-year transformation journey.
You will operate as part of an engagement team, typically consisting of a team of 2-5 consultants led by an engagement manager. Together you will drive the day-to-day execution of a transformation effort to help clients achieve new performance highs in their business.
You will apply the McKinsey Transformation (MT) recipe of leveraging a holistic, execution-centric approach, in addition to integrating the best of the firm. This means you will primarily be working with clients to set-up and execute a best-in-class Transformation Office and the related Performance Infrastructure. You will deploy a standard cadence as well as MT’s transformation management tool (Wave) and various assets/ solutions critical to a transformation spanning across organization health, capability building, digital, etc. Your work will be conducted across 3 standard phases: independent diligence phase (6-8 weeks), bottom-up phase (6-8 weeks) and implementation (12+ months).
You’ll be based in Taipei office and will be part of the McKinsey Transformation (MT) team in Greater China, primarily focused on the Transformation Office (TO). This is the heart of the MT methodology that orchestrates all client and McKinsey activity to set the pace, the tone and to drive the transformation.
Established in 2010, MT is the driving force behind holistic performance improvements and corporate restructurings. Our focus? Elevating the performance of companies through rapid and sustainable change.
You are joining a collaborative team of seasoned professionals, hailing from diverse backgrounds such as industry, private equity, and the restructuring ecosystem, working together with our global network of industry and functional experts.
