Writing Like a McKinsey Consultant — Advanced Techniques

Introduction

McKinsey consultants are known for clear, structured, and persuasive writing. With TrilingoApp, you can replicate that style — even if you've never worked in consulting.

1. Start with the Pyramid Principle

• Begin with the key takeaway.
• Support it with 3–4 logical arguments.
• Add data, charts, or evidence.

TrilingoApp's "Expand Text" tool helps structure ideas like a consultant's report.

2. Use Precise, Concise Language

McKinsey writing avoids fluff.

• Use TrilingoApp's "Fix Grammar" + "Change Tone to Professional" for direct, impactful sentences.
• Avoid jargon unless your audience is industry-specific.

3. Back Every Claim with Data

TrilingoApp can help generate supporting statistics or source citations to strengthen arguments.

4. Make It Visually Skimmable

Break text into:

• Headings
• Bullet points
• Numbered lists

This makes your writing client-ready.
