We are coaching many senior candidates who are about to join the world’s top strategy consultancies. And while we are serving all kinds of senior candidates, let’s focus today on executive profiles who are trying to break into the very senior roles. 

Concretely this means starting from Senior Manager level up to Partner-level roles or their respective equivalents on the expert tracks of these consultancies (e.g. Senior or Master Experts). Most of these candidates have in between 8 and 20 years of experience. 

Well, yes, these profiles do need to have all what more junior candidates also need to have – e.g. a bulletproof problem solving approach, good communication, quantitative understanding, and so on. 

However, these executive profiles need to have something in addition. They need to be perceived as “vision-aligned”. 

Let me explain with what we are referring to here. To be perceived “vision-aligned”

While nearly all executives master step 1, at least ~30% are falling short with step 2, at least 70% at step 3 and at least 90% at step 4! So being an executive is NOT enough to break into MBB, you also need to be vision-aligned. 

And trust me, you do not want to be in competition with one of our mentees here, because they will be vision-aligned to the absolute maximum possible.
