The McKinsey Mind - Understanding and Implementing the Problem-Solving Tools and Management Techniques of the World’s Top Strategic Consulting Firm
Customer Review: Must read
I have never worked in consulting before and I haven’t read the first book “McKinsey Way”. My expectation from the book was very much focused on my job in financial services: provide a structure to my problem solving process. I guess the book met my expectation very well, showed me a detailed step by step approach applicable to different types of problems, issues that might come up in each step and “keep in minds” to handle these issues. Considering my non-consulting background and job-specific expectations, I would say it’s a very good “must read” book.
Customer Review: Waste of time
This is probably one of the worst books you can read about consulting. Given the credentials of the McKinsey firm and given the fact the authors claim a lot of ex-McKinsey-ites participated in this book, one can not help but being very disappointed about the content.
The writers are clearly banking on McKinsey’s name and reputation. This is a shame and should not let you lured into buying the book.

Customer Review: Inspirational
My partner and I were inspired to build our own house by the previous version of this book and now we are in this one so I think it’s reasonable to call it inspiring. This is a book with substance and great coffee table pictures as well. A good mix of technical advice and the stories of self builders written by a self builder and very experienced green Architect.
