In Reply To: If Brian actually works at McK then he would know that McK like other strat houses is getting into the PMI business because of the money involved. Yes, McK does PMI work - both in Europe and in the US. Sorry, Brian but you're wrong! PMI is all about organizational change and organizational effectiveness - an area of consulting that all the consulting firms are getting into because it is so lucrative. And if you worked at McK you would know that!
Message: I'd like to point out that the post saying that strat houses don't do PMI is a FAKED post. I didn't post it. Two pieces of proof: 1. I always put my e-mail address, and that posting is missing it. 2. I would never use the term, PMI. At McKinsey we use the term PMM (Post Merger Management) I'd also never make such a stupid claim anyway. I worked on a PMM study for utility after it made several geographically adjacent acquisitions. Just as the Andersens of the world are moving "upstream" into the strategy realm, the strategy houses are moving "downstream" into the implementation phase of work. Strategy is really not about pretty blue books anymore.
