McKinsey & Company is a world-class leading global management consulting company, which was founded in the United States on 1926 by James O'McKinsey, a professor at Booth School of Business, University of Chicago. Since the establishment of 1926, the company's mission is to help leading enterprises achieve significant and lasting improvement in their business performance and build an excellent organization that can attract, train and motivate outstanding talents.
The reason why McKinsey can become a top company in the world is inseparable from the company's unique goals and missions. Excellence is always so different.
McKinsey's goals and mission are as follows:
1. Comprehensively study and solve management problems for senior management.
2. Provide comprehensive suggestions for the choices faced by senior executives.
3. Predict new problems and opportunities that may arise in the future development, and formulate timely and pragmatic countermeasures.
McKinsey is to help customers make positive, lasting and substantial improvements in their business and build an excellent company that can attract, develop, motivate and retain outstanding talents.
The basic principles of McKinsey, the world's top consulting firm. Formulas can also be used to solve problems, and reasonable solutions can be found for complex problems in a short time.
Today, graphite Yang shared a book "Working Principle and Problem Solving", which has been sold well in Japan for more than 20 years and reprinted 35 times, becoming a "teaching material" for problem solving. You can also set formulas to solve problems, and no matter how complicated the problem is, you can find a reasonable solution in a short time.
First, practical knowledge of "working principle and problem solving"
The author of this book, Katsuya Saito, worked in McKinsey, a famous consulting company for many years. Based on his years of consulting experience, he extracted five key thinking methods of McKinsey: zero-based thinking, hypothetical thinking, logic tree, MECE and solution system, and systematically integrated them to create a super "formulaic" problem-solving rule.
The first edition of the book Working Principles and Solving Problems was published in 1997 1. At that time, most business people were very unfamiliar with the thinking mode of "solving problems". When this book was first published, I didn't know where it should be put in the bookstore. There is no such classification on any bookshelf.
As a "problem-solving expert", a consultant must, under any circumstances, find out the real problems, set appropriate topics and propose specific solutions for all kinds of problems raised by customers within a limited time. Therefore, consultants must carry out thorough basic training. In other words, "problem-solving" thinking and skills are compulsory subjects for consultants in business activities.
It has been 2 1 year since the first edition of this book was published, and now "solving problems" has become a basic skill that every business person must master. This book has been reprinted 35 times and has been a best seller for a long time. After the publication of this book, many publishing houses also published similar books, and even bookshelves classified as "solving problems" appeared in bookstores.
There are also a large number of cases in the book, which show the problem-solving process in detail, and truly apply what you have learned and achieve mastery. After reading this book, anyone can become an expert in solving problems.
Two ways of thinking, two skills, 1 solution system, the most effective problem-solving thinking methods and skills from McKinsey, teach you to become an active problem-solving expert in the front line of enterprises.
Second, two ways of thinking to solve problems
In the book, I introduced two ways of thinking to solve problems, namely, zero-based thinking, hypothetical thinking, two skills, MECE, logical tree and a process solving system. These thinking methods are not difficult, but only systematize the problem-solving process that each of us usually does unconsciously, so as to apply it to the scene of business activities.
From the first chapter to the third chapter, the author will explain each basic thinking method with concrete examples. In the fourth chapter, he will introduce how I, as the head of a large household goods production enterprise, flexibly use the "solution system" when rebuilding the commodity development and sales system.
I hope this book can make more business people become "problem-solving experts", and 65,438+000% of them can exert their potential and be active in the front line of enterprises.
Third, solving problems requires thinking and technology.
In order to solve the problems in business operation, Saito has cooperated with many business people and consulting companies and handled many problems. In the process, he realized the necessity of writing this book. The thinking methods and skills to solve problems introduced in the book are like trump cards in poker. These thinking methods and skills are helpful to people in any situation and position in business activities. It provides a set of thinking methods and technical system for entrepreneurs to solve the problems existing in the initial stage of entrepreneurship.
In today's increasingly drastic changes in the business environment, enterprises need "problem-solving professionals". Only by strengthening fair evaluation, cultivating "top talents" and eliminating "top talents" can enterprises improve their competitiveness.
