Featured capabilities
Infrastructure projects analytics tool (IPAT): Tracks up to 60 characteristics from more than 100,000 projects worldwide by geography and sector and gives visibility to early-stage projects, pre-financing, and tendering. IPAT helps companies prioritize spending decisions and shape growth strategies in line with their capabilities.
Engineering, procurement, and construction full potential assessment: Defines a high-level aspiration and performs a top-down diagnostic to assess the potential impact of following best practices and validate value at stake with illustrative analyses. It’s highly powerful for engineering, procurement, and construction companies facing profitability challenges due to increasing market competition.
Digital Maturity Index (DMI): Helps clients plot their path to digital transformation. DMI benchmarks an organization’s digital maturity defined against seven dimensions: organization and talent, culture, strategy, digital platform, digital assets, project workflows, operations workflow. These dimensions are assessed across five levels, allowing clients to outline a digital roadmap.
Project production management: Improves planning using operations science and helps deliver projects on schedule with an optimal use of resources. It models construction sites as a manufacturing line to decrease cycle time and increase throughput by addressing variabilities and controlling buffers. It also considers capacity, inventory, and variability to close the gap in current project management.
Engineering and construction sustainability: Helps clients assess level of exposure with a detailed baseline of emissions, decarbonize the value chain across buildings and infrastructure, set a sustainability strategy, and plan sustainable project turn-around and contracting.
Cement: Cement is essential for construction but accounts for approximately 7 percent of global CO₂ production. McKinsey helps cement companies plan strategic and operational responses aimed at creating a more sustainable model. Via the World Economic Forum–McKinsey knowledge collaboration on the decarbonization of cement we’re building capabilities to help our clients lower emissions through circularity solutions and reducing the need for new virgin components. McKinsey supports cement clients across five key areas: strategy, operations, organization, corporate finance, and marketing and sales.
