Introducing Leap by McKinsey

We work in a new, open way to get ideas to market faster

Building businesses is the next normal.

The world is changing faster than ever—and so is business. A new breed of tech-enabled, fast-moving organizations are cutting across traditional value pools and disrupting whole markets in the process.

Leap by McKinsey works with forward-thinking organizations to imagine, build, and scale new businesses from scratch—and grow the capabilities that enable them to do it again and again.

We are a dynamic team bringing together expertise in business, design, and technology from across McKinsey.

We create change that matters, enabling our clients to thrive in an age of disruption.
