Just learned that Kearney used to be a part of McKinsey?? When I was in college students in the business school would always talk about MBB as the gold standard— at least the few times I stepped foot in the business school for projects. But Kearney was never ever really in the conversations.
Then I got to ford and learned that ‘smart redesign’ (layoffs) were done by BCG. Which reenforced my belief of them being the big players.
Anyone have any documentaries or resources on why McKinsey and Kea

This is pretty common in the professional services world. Bill Bain was at BCG before building Bain and Co. The Lords of Strategy is a good book on the history of MBB and some of their derivatives. Here’s a page o Kearney specifically:

Ah interesting. This books seems to focus on people in/around the Boston area. Imma get it.

I’m wrapping up reading “confessions of an economic hitman” right now… and am allured by the power these easy coast firms have to shift so much of power in global politics.
…and I need a job to hopefully obtain a similar or better lifestyle as my parents who did well at GM — and all these consulting firms seem like well paying employers — ha

Another fun fact, McKinsey/Kearney started as an accounting firm

Ya. What THE hell is up with all the “accounting firms” In England and then the US “management consulting firms” in the US and mainly around Boston??

There’s “the big 4” and in that 4, Deloitte + KPMG seem to do more tech implementation than the other two. Then “MBB” tries not to get involved in tech implementation but just firing people and “re orgs” based on what I’ve seen/experienced.

And I’m just now learning about these “T2” firms and they seem all over the place in terms of what they specialize in? Ie some of the T2 firms are in “tech consulting” like Accenture, but then Kearney is not involved in tech implementation it seems based on conversations I’ve had.

Rny split up?
Company’s having divorces oddly is so interesting to me. I experienced one at ford kinda… but I don’t want to spill all of ford’s secrets here lol— I’ll get banned again

Looks like that was just a re org in the 1930s. Tom Kearney was a McKinsey employee who just branched out and wanted to start his own firm. Kearney is a strong firm, they just have a much more specific strength in supply chain/operations work

Well however they do it today - Kearney was founded a long time ago.

Partners swap firms all the time though. Or go off on their own. You only get sued if you’re going after your old clients and eventually even that is fine.
