And as mentioned the company has vast experiences in this regard. However, we must be careful and be focused to our needs. Our object must be clear and scope should always advance. I am optimistic that this project will be unlike any other projects. We have enough of information and thick documents on our shelves but, certainly for a document (system) that is tangible, easy to understand and simple to implement so that we can reap the benefits.

My own business experience tells me that it leads to real results on the ground when and only when it is matched by a sense of urgency, passionate conviction, and genuine ownership of those whose job it is to make the change happen. If it takes US$9.1 million to change "the mindset and the attitudes of our officials", so be it. But, if I am faced with similar needs to change my company and boost its business outcomes, would I pay $9.1 million to solve a problem, which I know what the answers, how to do it, and who is responsible (myself as the CEO)? If and only if I am faced with strong opposition within my company. Otherwise, no. McKinsey or not, consultants’ advice remains nothing more than just that — consultants’ advice.
