    Mckinsey and Company: Managing Knowledge and Learning

    1)The small firm “accounting and engineering advisors” was able to grow into the world’s most prestigious consulting firm in 50 years by focusing on the one firm vision. The most difficult internal challenge that the company faced was how to manage, release and benefit from the knowledge already held by the experts within the company.nThis required the effort of all the experts to communicate their findings. The support systems like PDNet and FPIS which were created, aided in helping consultants to publish their work. However, even after this was accomplished one of the most important issues still remained. This issue was the need the for the change of the consultants. Consultants would have to change from T-shaped to I-shaped for the knowledge infrastructure to be effective. This required more specialization which contrasted with the original requirement. All of these factors were conducive to McKinsey developing a competitive advantage over the competition. The sense of professionalism engrained in the consultants by first McKinsey and later Bower also helped to give the firm a unique source of competitive advantage. Bower's vision was that the firm would adhere to the highest level of integrity, ethics and technical excellence. He also wanted the firm to be one that attracted and developed the brightest male talent and also to be committed to advancing in stature and influence.…

    Memo: the Retreat and Corporate Team Building

    You are the coordinator of staff development for Imperial Oil. It has been recently announced that Imperial Oil is moving its headquarters from Toronto to Calgary. The news has been greeted positively by employees, but a few are unhappy while others already working in the Calgary office are unsure how well the amalgamation of the two offices with their different cultures will go. Recognizing the feeling of uncertainty, you decide to hold a series of corporate team-building retreats shortly after the headquarters move to Calgary. The retreat will be led by the Great Canadian Adventure Company. Employees will meet in downtown Calgary at 8:00 a.m. and buses will pick them up and take them to the Sylvan Lake area. There, they will spend the day on team-building like map-reading exercises that will require employee teams to find their way through a wooded area to a “home base” where lunch will be served. The group will return to downtown to Calgary by 7:00 p.m.…

    Mckinsey Report July 2012

    Mckinsey Report July 2012

    Day of reckoning for European retail banking McKinsey report July 2012 The dynamics of the global banking sector have been in flux since the beginning of the 2008. Irate creditors everywhere have called for more stringent regulation to ensure that that the interests of financial institutions are more closely aligned with those of their customers and shareholders. The global, European and national authorities have responded with vigour and the regulatory reform to which all banks, wholesale and retail, will be subject in the coming years will have an important impact on their bottom line. The single biggest cause of a reduction in retail banks’ ROE will come from the global regulatory mechanism Basel III, which will place greater capital requirements on banks and more emphasis on adequate funding and liquidity. Furthermore, three important European regulatory instruments, the EU Mortgage Directive, the Markets in Financial Instruments Directive (MiFID II) and the Single Euro Payments Area (SEPA), Payment Service Directive, will also considerably diminish ROE. Finally, the implementation of new national regulation will create further downward pressure on ROE, though this will vary considerably from country to country. This report provides estimates on the impact on capital, revenues, costs and profit margins of all the relevant regulations on each product (both asset- and liability-based) in each of the four biggest European markets – France, Germany, Britain and Italy – which combined constitute 66% of the EU27 retail-banking market. ROE is the standard metric used and the report calculates the cumulative effect of all regulation as if it were all put in place immediately, using 2010 as the baseline year. The paper reaches some important conclusions. Firstly, with regard to national and continent-wide retail banking markets, ROE will fall from approximately 10% to 6% when all four markets are taken as a whole. Below is a breakdown of the effect in each of the…
