Amplify vs. McKinsey Wave: Flexible Program Management Solutions

Congratulations! You've successfully completed a cost-reduction program with McKinsey and achieved significant savings for your organization. McKinsey Wave undoubtedly played a crucial role in tracking progress, providing visibility, and ensuring alignment throughout the engagement. But now that the engagement is over, what's next? How do you maintain momentum, continue tracking value, and tackle new initiatives beyond cost reduction?

Evolution is key to success. As your organization's needs evolve, so should your program management tools.

It's time to graduate from McKinsey Wave and embrace a more comprehensive, flexible, and future-proof program management platform: Amplify.

The Limitations of McKinsey Wave

While McKinsey Wave is a powerful tool for cost-reduction programs, it has certain limitations that can hinder your organization's ability to evolve and expand its program management capabilities:

• Limited Scope: McKinsey Wave is primarily designed for financial programs, making it challenging to manage non-financial initiatives such as sustainability, customer acquisition, or employee engagement.
• Rigidity: Customizing McKinsey Wave can be cumbersome and often requires external support, limiting your ability to adapt the platform to your unique needs and processes.
• Single Program Focus: McKinsey Wave is typically used for one program at a time, making it difficult to manage multiple initiatives simultaneously and gain a holistic view of your organization's transformation efforts.
• Cost and Accessibility: After a McKinsey engagement ends, the cost of continuing to use Wave can skyrocket, making it less accessible for long-term program management.
