Ask HN: Success stories from McKinsey (et al.)
5 by ramblerman | 1 comments on Hacker News.
Hi HN, I'm frustrated as this is my 2nd company where I've seen a high level executive consult mckinsey (or a similar consultancy). And then implement a plan that destroys any humanity, and just slowly destroys our product/spirit over the next 2 years while the best people leave and we are left with extremely bureacratic and terrible processes. I was speaking with my wife tonight who is not in IT, but had an ex-mckinsey CEO move in to the company 6 months ago, and it just seems like the same pattern. I've always thought these consultants where there to provide "cover" for high level executives who didn't have a clue. I.e. nobody every got fired for hiring mckinsey. I'd be curious to hear stories where it went well.
