WHO YOU'LL WORK WITH
You'll join our Gurugram office and work with our global Capabilities and Insights team within the larger People and Organizational Performance practice (POP C&I). You’ll be part of our global knowledge network, which includes more than 1,800 knowledge professionals who work alongside our consultants and clients to generate distinctive insights and proprietary knowledge.
POP C&I is part of the global Research and Development fabric for the POP practice and plays a pivotal role in developing, codifying, sanitizing, and managing research-backed new knowledge, which includes proprietary documents, assets, and proposals. The team works in a very integrated way with other parts of the practice such as analytics and solutions and promises an optimal mix of research with integrated servicing of clients as a part of the larger client service teams.
McKinsey’s POP practice is a trusted adviser to the world’s leading businesses, governments, and institutions on their most important organizational opportunities and challenges. Our global network of over 800 consultants and experts, and our proprietary data and analytics, help our clients across a broad range of topics, including culture & change, organizational design, leadership & learning, talent, merger management, digital-analytics org, and CEO & board excellence.
WHAT YOU'LL DO
You will leverage a solid understanding of trends, issues, and concepts within the space of People & Organizational Performance to efficiently respond to complex research questions. You’ll do this by delivering synthesized, actionable facts and insights to our consulting teams and clients.
You will also have the opportunity to work alongside senior knowledge professionals on larger client projects and internal knowledge initiatives. By collecting and analyzing data and information found in databases and/or other primary and secondary research tools, you will assemble a fact base. You’ll use this research to counsel consultants and clients on the scope of the business and economic trends surrounding the issue and provide insights and analysis for solving client problems at hand.
Day-to-day tasks may include identifying the key issues for the problem at hand and determining the most appropriate solution while effectively balancing quality, availability, timeliness, and cost factors. You’ll likely perform a variety of analyses such as benchmarking, trend identification, opportunity scanning, etc., to add value to problem-solving discussions. You’ll provide synthesis, insight, and client implications within tight deadlines via end products in the form of PowerPoint charts, written memos, models, and framework. In time, you will also participate in, and eventually lead, internal knowledge development and capability-building initiatives and you’ll use advanced analytics tools to prepare and analyze large datasets to distill insights including our proprietary solutions (like the Organizational Health Index, OrgLab and more).
