The McKinsey Quarterly wants me to share some of their latest articles with my colleagues.
The links below provide free access (for a limited time) to 3 of their ‘Premium’ articles in the areas of Organization, Operations, and Corporate Finance:
Organization
"Driving radical change" - http://e.mckinseyquarterly.com/W9RH014A8728F8C1D2F30365A8B910
This article addresses the need for discipline to set goals and mobilize resources to genuinely transform your organization. It talks about breaking down aspirations into relevant, digestible “themes.” In the management operating system of the organization, many of these themes can be found in “buckets of pain” that xPM addresses: accountability, line-of-sight visibility, efficiency, one version of the truth, and others.
Operations
"Inventing the 21st-century purchasing organization" - http://e.mckinseyquarterly.com/W9RH014A870888C1D2F30365A8B910
This article addresses Price Sensitivity Management (PSN) and strategic purchasing initiatives. We’re all for aligning the purchasing function with strategic objectives.
Corporate finance
"Market fundamentals: 2000 versus 2007" - http://e.mckinseyquarterly.com/W9RH014A8778A8C1D2F30365A8B910
McKinsey suggests that the market is not out-of-line with fundamentals, ROE is strong, and that recent growth is concentrated in fewer sectors (the financial sector and the energy, utilities, and materials sector).
