You’ve been hearing a lot about McKinsey in the headlines. This company received over $100 million in contracts from the Trudeau Liberals, and has been the subject of various controversies here in Canada and around the world. But behind the headlines, who is this company, what do they do, and why do people hire them?
On today’s episode of Resuming Debate, I interview Duff McDonald, author of The Firm: The Story of McKinsey and its Secret Influence on American Business. How has McKinsey continued to sign up clients in spite of their track record of scandals? What is this company really all about?
On this episode we also talk about a few books. You can find Duff’s book on McKinsey here: https://www.amazon.ca/Firm-McKinsey-Influence-American-Business/dp/1439190984.
