For the October Technology Evening, the team from McKinsey and Company discussed management consulting and shared some success stories.

Nhlanhla (Fats) Dlamini started us off with a quick history of the company and himself. McKinsey and Company was founded in 1926 in Chicago and has grown to over 100 offices in 60 countries with expertise in all industries. By working together with their clients they have assisted them in merges, increased production etc.
