A Career for Life Scientists in Management Consulting Downloaded from http://cshperspectives.cshlp.org/ on September 27, 2021 - Published by Cold Spring Harbor Laboratory Press A Career for Life Scientists in Management Consulting Rodney W. Zemmel McKinsey & Company, Incorporated, New York, New York 10022 Correspondence: [email protected] Compared with life sciences, management consulting is a relatively new field. Nonetheless, leading firms have assumed a central role in the global business economy and command increasing influence as advisors to corporations and organizations in the public and social sectors. Offering robust analysis, independent and expert perspectives, and—in the best cases—valuable creative input, these companies focus on helping clients to improve their performance or more effectively execute their mission. Because the top firms tackle the most complex problems for the most successful orga- nizations in the world, theyattract top graduates. But the field is no longer the sole province of those with MBAs. In recent years, the profession has increasingly diversified and now actively recruits candidates with advanced degrees in a range of disciplines—including the life sciences. Those who join the field will find many parallels between the consulting approach and scientific inquiry. As a result, life scientists have many of the intrinsic skills needed to thrive in the industry,which can offer an extraordinary breadth of assignments, global experience, and an accelerated way to learn. At leading firms, the intensive training and development offered can pave the way for partnership, in which consultants counsel senior executives as peers. Many of those who leave become entrepreneurs or join top organizations—sometimes their former clients—at a leadership level. anagement consulting took root in the did, to seek unfettered opportunity in cities.

As the 94-year-old approached the podium, the less guarded members of the gathering yielded to what can only be deemed a subservient impulse and rose to their feet. Within moments, the rest of the members would follow — their actions arguably prodded as much by curiosity as by s u b j u g a t i o n . After all, the spring 1998 gathering could very likely be the last opportunity for most of those gathered to lay eyes on the man credited with laying this firm’ s cultural corner- stone — a last chance to view the living icon who had coined the firm’s esteemed principles.

It is based solely on publicly available information Whatever you do, wherever you go, they will be there… FOREWORD: WHY DO YOU NEED TO UNDERSTAND MANAGEMENT CONSULTING? 1. You may become a consultant • 20% to 30% of MBA graduates join Management consulting firms 2. You are likely to hire or work with an • Most Fortune 500 corporations external consultant hire external consultants 3. You will have ex consultants as • Most consultants get colleagues (consultants skills are management positions in the industry after a few years transferable) You cannot escape consultants! 1 SUMMARY • Management consulting firms offer a few thousands jobs every year. Those jobs are among the most competitive, especially with top strategy firms • Whatever the role and the type of project, working as a consultant requires following a set of principles aligned with an organisation aimed at optimising efficiency and effectiveness • If you want to become a management consultant, preparation will be key 2 HISTORICAL BACKGROUND • During the later part of the 19th century, engineering, accounting and law firms started offering independent corporate counsel to fast-growing and increasingly complex industrial organisations in the US. Arthur D. Little was the first external consultant to bring operational effectiveness to its manufacturing clients • It was not until the 1930s and the Great Depression that management consulting firms grew beyond a few founding partners, with the notable examples of McKinsey and A.T.

  • Career Opportunities in International Consulting
    Career Opportunities in International Consulting This is one of those niche fields in which a Maxwell graduate, particularly with a dual degree in ECN/IR and MPA/IR, would have a relative advantage. Although many management positions actively recruit students with an MBA, positions equally favor candidates with advanced degrees in economics, law, mathematics, and engineering, among others. In a large and broad-based field such as consulting, there is a niche for a wide array of skill sets. Introduction Management consulting (also called strategy consulting) refers to the practice of helping companies improve performance through analysis of existing business problems and development of future plans. Management consulting usually involves the identification of best practices, analytical techniques, change management and coaching skills, technology implementation, strategy development or even simply providing the advantage of an outsider's perspective. Management consultants generally bring formal frameworks or methodologies to identify problems or suggest more effective or efficient ways of performing existing business tasks. Management Consulting is becoming more prevalent in non-business related fields as well. As the need for professional and specialized advice grows, other industries such as government, quasi-government and not-for-profit agencies are turning to the same managerial principles that have helped the private sector for years. International NGO’s, multilateral organizations, global financial services, and governments are now employing consultants at a rapid pace. A combination of skills such as an economics degree or a public administration degree with international relations is increasingly a desired skill set sought by employers in this field. History Management consulting grew with the rise of management as a unique field of study.

Staying ahead of changing conditions and clarifying long-term problems and possibilities are at the heart of CED’s approach to policymaking. CED’s ability to craft practical solutions in a fast-paced environment makes CED more important to the business community and the nation than ever before. For nearly 60 years, CED has helped shape the nation’s policy agenda. CED’s impact on economic policy, on education and the U.S. workforce, and on international trade and finance has its origins in CED’s post-war role in guiding the United States from a wartime to a peacetime econo- my. In recent years, CED has helped drive the deregulation efforts of the 1970s, imple- ment education reform efforts in the 1980s, and sustain the movement for lower federal deficits and faster adjustment to global economic change in the 1990s. As we demonstrate in this report, 2000 was an exceptionally rich and productive year for CED. In addi- tion to issuing policy statements on subjects CED Chairman Frank P.
