Wave equips clients to successfully manage improvement programs and transformations. Focused on business impact, Wave allows clients to track the impact of individual initiatives and understand how they affect longer term goals. It is a mix of an intuitive interface and McKinsey business expertise that gives clients a simple and insightful picture of what can otherwise be a complex process by allowing them to track the progress and performance of initiatives against business goals, budget and time frames.

Our Transformatics team provides analytics insights and products to consulting teams and clients involved in transformation programs across the globe. The team is composed of data engineers and data scientists who are spread across several geographies and who collaborate on a variety of industries, functions, analytics methodologies and platforms – e.g. Cloud data engineering, advanced statistics, machine learning, predictive analytics and generative AI. You will work closely with Transformatics and Wave leaders to help define the data strategy.
