FIRMSCONSULTING McKinsey claims they are a leadership factory. Can they prove it? FIRMSCONSULTING We set out to prove McKinsey’s marketing claim and devised three analyses, with the Consulting Value IndexTM being the main test • The three analyses test Dominic Barton’s, and McKinsey’s, claim: – Which firm had the most alumni serving as CEO in the Fortune 1,000? – Which firm was most efficient at producing CEO alumni? – Which firm’s CEO alumni created the most value? (main test) • We took the Fortune 1,000 and filtered out the companies run by consulting and audit alumni in the USA. • We clustered all the companies run by one firm’s alumni into one share portfolio to calculate if investing in that portfolio generated greater value than investing in the S&P 500. We created portfolios for: – McKinsey & Co. – BCG – Bain & Co. – PwC Audit – E&Y Audit – Deloitte Audit – KPMG Audit – Arthur Anderson Audit Source: https://www.firmsconsulting.com/consulting-rankings/consulting-value-index/ To see the footnotes and methodology please visit the Consulting Value IndexTM on the link above FIRMSCONSULTING McKinsey & Company does have more alumni running Fortune 1,000 listed companies in the USA… Alumni CEOs of the Fortune 1,000 30 26 25 23 21 20 16 15 12 11 10 9 10 5 4 Number of CEOs 5 2 1 0 BCG Monitor Hamilton E&Y Audit PwC Audit Bain & Co.
