McKinsey’s Three Pillars of Learning

Global management consulting firm McKinsey stays ahead of the curve when it comes to anticipating client needs, particularly regarding the rapid changes in learning and development. To improve learning opportunities and continuously upskill their consultants, McKinsey’s learning and development team has been focusing on three learning pillars: 1) improving mindset, 2) enhancing consulting and leadership skills, and 3) developing new knowledge and skills. Internal ongoing learning opportunities lead to higher retention, a stronger bench of talent, and greater client engagement. A recent article in CLO Magazine examines how McKinsey is transforming content and learning formats, measuring results, and more.
