$1M for a six week “EM plus two” engagement is on the high side, but it’s about par for the course for most McKinsey contracts. The standard is usually $500k-$1M for that kind of engagement. I think this is kind of a non-story for anyone who is actually familiar with the consulting business model. The brand is all McKinsey really has, and they are very quick to offer free engagements to protect the brand if true value isn’t being delivered.
