Build by McKinsey

Our approach

We’ve perfected our methodologies over hundreds of builds, but we adapt our approach to each, handpicking teams with the right skills to accelerate impact.

Tech that matters

We don’t build technology for the sake of building technology. We do it to solve our clients’ most complex problems. That means ensuring they have a clear business goal, a pressure-tested strategy, and the skills needed to turn ideas into reality.

The best of both worlds

We join world-class technical and business skills in a unified team, working together toward a single set of objectives. Our teams are handpicked for each project, with a dual leadership structure to ensure that both industry and technical knowledge have a strong voice. In other words, you get the best of both worlds.

A tested approach, tailored for you

We’ve collaborated with clients on successful technology projects in every industry. Our proven methodologies and assets enable us to hit the ground running. Our approach is focused on outputs, not activities, because what matters is what technology can achieve for your business.

A transformation that lasts

Building capabilities is just as important as building the products. We coach, nurture, and establish processes that ensure you have the tools necessary to keep driving your technology forward.

“During the COVID-19 pandemic, we worked with our client to build new digital products that enabled 24/7 access to banking services. With our help, they could deliver their social mission of supporting small businesses, especially through tough times.”

—Dave, partner and distinguished engineer, San Francisco

“By coaching clients one-on-one and building strategies together, we create trusting relationships and cultures focused on learning, impact, and openness. For us, capability building is not an ‘afterthought’; it’s a critical ingredient from the start.”

—Courtney, agile specialist, Pittsburgh
