“When McKinsey Comes to Town: The Hidden Influence of the World’s Most Powerful Consulting Firm,” was written by multiple Pulitzer winner Walt Bogdanich and New York Times investigative reporter Michael Forsythe.
The judges commented:
Using tens of thousands of documents and hundreds of interviews, Bogdanich and Forsythe expose the many tentacles of consulting conglomerate McKinsey & Company. Before the journalists’ work, little was known about McKinsey’s clients that range from pharmaceutical companies to federal drug regulators to foreign governments. The dynamic storytelling kept us turning the page to find whose mess McKinsey was involved in next.
