"I joined McKinsey & Company almost a year ago with the aspiration to collaborate with highly talented individuals and help businesses grow. From working closely with clients to identify new markets and products and following a structured approach to solving day-to-day problems, I am grateful for the unique experiences I've had. During the first two weeks of my initial project, I encountered an industry that was entirely new to me. However, my supportive team helped me get up to speed, polish my thinking, and strategise the next steps to deliver the best for our clients. The leadership around me has always been open to ideas and thoughts from every team member. This openness has instilled a sense of responsibility to think critically, observe, and speak up during discussions. Structured problem-solving sessions have helped me develop more well-rounded thinking and communication skills, improving my interactions with clients. These qualities of the firm motivate me to go above and beyond!" – Akshat Goyal, Business Analyst at McKinsey & Company. Want to hear more about our employees' journey and experiences?

In the past few weeks, I embarked on a journey with McKinsey & Company in the Forward Program. Throughout this program, I have had the opportunity to delve into five impactful modules which have shaped my knowledge and perspective and these include: Adaptability and Resilience skills. This skills are particularly important in this robust business climate where time are changing and business is defined by new rules every passing day. Problem Solving skills. This was hands down my best module because I got the opportunity to learn from consulting experts how to solve business problems in the real world. The real world cases that we handled showed me how to think outside the box in order to attain the best solutions. The tricks and formulas given to me are very resourceful in this field. Communicating for Impact. This is a very important skill that move people from being good business analysts to excellent analysts and I have learnt no less of this. Relationships and Well-being. This is a usually overlooked aspect of business. Building successful relationships with fellow employees and customers is paramount to the success of the business in general. I can happily say I have done my due diligence in this field. Navigating the digital world. This module expressed to me how much work I need to do in order to leverage digitalization in the work I do. With the development of A.I, numerous analytical tools for data among others, business acumen has surely changed and I am here to get with the times. In this relatively long post I am highlighting that this Program has benefited my career and personal growth tremendously and I am grateful for McKinsey & Company for this opportunity and definitely look forward for more opportunities for growth.
