We help clients unlock value by digitizing the physical world
Sensors and ubiquitous connectivity, combined with data and analytics, open up new opportunities to innovate products and services and to increase the efficiency of operations. This digitization of the physical world—or Internet of Things (IoT)—creates new value for our clients and for their customers.
The Internet of Things presents an enormous opportunity to transform the way we live and do business. McKinsey’s Global Institute predicts IoT will have an economic impact of between $4 trillion and $11 trillion by 2025. Companies can capture value by creating new revenue streams from providing connected solutions and services to consumers and enterprises and by
reducing costs in operations. Much of the IoT data currently captured, however, is under leveraged. We take an integrated approach to digitizing the physical world to create new insights and business models and to unlock real value for our clients.

WHY MCKINSEY?
Our leading industry and functional expertise, combined with our understanding of technological possibilities, uniquely-position us to identify value creation opportunities from IoT for our clients
We help companies develop IoT use cases and deliver solutions at-scale by augmenting their team with our end-to-end expertise and capabilities across the technology stack
Scaling up successful IoT pilots to capture value at-scale can be challenging. We assure value delivery by bringing business transformation capabilities and underwriting the delivery risk.
Our sole goal is to accelerate your scale-up by using the best technology or platform necessary. We don’t believe in a one-size-fits-all service model. Often the best solution may be completely customized, or it might involve incorporating a tool from one of the thousands of other solutions providers.
We help clients with standing up IoT/Digital Factories by providing a starting team by seconding experienced McKinsey partners and consultants. Then we help with further scaling up by recruiting talent, training and developing the organization.
