You will be based in our McKinsey office in Johannesburg, as part of our delivery assurance offering, working closely and in partnership with client's senior management and their specialist departments.
McKinsey Delivery Assurance aspires to help our clients to achieve one of their biggest challenges: make their transformation plans really happen. Our day-to-day work is to support large companies who need to adapt their operating models to the accelerated changes in their environment, by combining agility, sustainable efficiency, and employee engagement. All in all, we exist to deliver a lasting impact to our clients.
With McKinsey Delivery Assurance you can expect a uniquely varied and exciting working environment, as well as the opportunity to work with a talented and dynamic growing team. Do you know that only 1/3 of transformations are successful and sustainable? McKinsey Delivery Assurance helps leading private sector organisations execute business transformation programs in a time of accelerated change. The business transformation includes organisational structure, capability building, and service redesign. We turn strategy into practice, using agile, efficient, and highly engaging methods that work on the ground rather than just looking good on paper. McKinsey Delivery Assurance integrates the skills, the approach, the corporate culture, and the resources that lead to the success of complex and challenging transformation projects and is ideally positioned to smoothly implement strategies designed by McKinsey & Company. We plan and deliver change projects together with our clients, helping them capture their full potential. We know what determines the success of large projects and what can ensure lasting implementation success. We work closely and in partnership with our clients' senior management and specialist functions. We combine strategic and operational project management, with strong execution skills and an understanding of the specific demands of each industry. We measure our success by achieving the goals we set together with our clients.
