Shortly after acquiring a Salesforce consulting S4G earlier this year, McKinsey & Company just hired its first-ever Chief Technology and Platform Officer ๐ Jacky Wright from Microsoft.
A clear sign that weโre firmly in the digital #platform era, where industry leaders are considering becoming platforms and they also partner with others to scale.
๐ฌ A few highlights from the post of Bob Sternfels, Global Managing Partner at McKinsey:
"Nearly half of our consultants are digital practitioners.
We have a thriving ecosystem of alliances with leading tech companies.
Jacky will help us further increase our rate of innovation, including innovating new platforms to help our clients transform and grow."
๐ก This means that if youโre an aspiring industry leader, learning about platforms, #ecosystem and partnerships is now MUST and not a โnice to haveโ.
