Most organizations aren’t built for change, in fact corporations are being disrupted faster than ever before. Many of the world’s most successful organizations jumpstart new businesses to not get left behind. They build and scale whole new businesses at incredible speed, catapulting themselves into different sectors and markets and cutting across traditional value pools, while leveraging what they already do best. This approach isn’t easy, but can create tremendous value. This is why Leap by McKinsey exists.
Leap by McKinsey is a dedicated and diverse group of business-builders, analytics experts, designers, engineers and more that partner with clients all over the world to build winning digital businesses. Most of these colleagues have launched their own successful ventures before joining McKinsey, which means they understand the capabilities a business needs to survive and thrive.
In the last three years, Leap teams have led over 300 business builds, many in less than 12 months. Ralf Dreischmeier, a Senior Partner and global co-leader for Leap, explains that Leap’s way of working is a big contributing factor. “We co-locate with our clients and use an agile model to move quickly. We bring the benefits of a start-up to a corporate environment, and lower risk at the same time.”
