Often referred to as a prestigious or elite consulting firm, McKinsey & Company is known for its strategic reviews that are targeted to reengineering the business models and operations of major worldwide companies, organizations, and governments. Walt Bogdanich and Michael Forsythe, New York Times award-winning investigative reporters and the authors of When McKinsey Comes to Town, would no doubt use much less flattering terms to describe the firm. In the book, they take McKinsey to task for its many conflicts of interest and for advancing the causes of sleazy industry and government clients (although they don't use that exact descriptive phrase). I previously reviewed a book on the "Big Four" accounting/ consulting firms ("Are the Big Four on Their Last Legs?" Fall 2019). McKinsey belongs to, and is the largest of, the "Big Three" firms solely dedicated to strategy consulting. Boston Consulting Group and Bain & Company are the other two firms and are mentioned throughout When McKinsey Comes to Town.
