Mckinsey values question

Hi there,

I would be happy to share my thoughts on it:

• First of all, I would like to assure you that this is a relatively new format for the personal fit part that McKinsey is currently experimenting with. As such, while you still need to thoroughly prepare, please keep in mind that this is new to both McKinsey and you.
• I would advise you to prepare two situations for this McKinsey value in the same way you did for the other dimensions that are normally asked in the PEI. Moreover, please have a look at https://www.mckinsey.com/about-us/overview/our-purpose-mission-and-values to learn about what the value entails in order to spark your inspiration.

If you would like a more detailed discussion on how to address your specific situation, please don't hesitate to contact me directly.

Best,

Hagen

Hi there,

McKinsey is experimenting with this new fit format in a couple of offices. 

Approach it the same way as you would with a PEI interview: https://www.preplounge.com/mckinsey-pei

1. Think of two relevant situations using the SCORE framework
2. Create engaging stories as I describe in the article with a focus on their values related to their meritocratic value (third pillar):
    

• be nonhierarchical and inclusive
• sustain a caring meritocracy
• develop one another through apprenticeship and mentoring
• uphold the obligations to engage and dissent
• embrace diverse perspectives with curiosity and respect
• govern ourselves as a “one firm” partnership

Cheers,

Florian

Hi there,

Florian is exactly right here.

Think of this as just an extension/adjustment of the PEI. Just like the leadership, entrepreneurial drive, etc. they'll looking for a well structured, in depth, PARADE/STAR/SCORE story. You will also be asked questions throughout where you will have to dive deeper.
