Download our Apple and Android Apps, click on browse and scroll to the "Complimentary: no subscription needed" section. You will find the podcast under the "Strategy Skills" channel.

Kevin P. Coyne wants your input. Watch his preview of our upcoming "Titans of Strategy" program and tell us what you would like to see in the program.  Where else can you learn from some of the most influential former BCG and McKinsey senior partners?  Titans of Strategy is the marque program of Firmsconsulting.com for the next year. There are 8 seasons and they will be launched one after another and, in some cases, simultaneously. We invited some of the most influential partners in the history of McKinsey, BCG et al to teach you concepts in strategy, leadership, marketing etc., that they have NEVER taught before, but used extensively in their careers. If you want to know how a partner thinks through critical issues, and want to follow this approach, this is the program to watch.  Each program is shot in HD and, in some cases, within some of the most iconic architectural landmarks. Every concept they teach is broken down into multiple steps so you may follow their thinking and ultimately replicate their approach.  The partners are candid and discuss life events and insights never shared before. This is a rare opportunity to learn from the partners who shaped McKinsey and BCG to be the firms they are today.  This program is available exclusively to Firmsconsulting Insiders and will be released shortly.  Please note that only the PREMIUM membership is a path to FC Insider status. The Consulting Offer (TCO), TCO Intro and the Executive Program (EP) contain in depth training programs yet are considered to be introductory memberships for newer FC members and are NOT a path to FC Insider. FC Insider status is granted automatically and at no additional charge to Premium members in good standing who were Premium members for 6 consecutive months. Once FC Insider status is granted member remains an FC Insider for as long as he or she remains a Premium member in good standing.  FC Insiders can access all released episodes on StrategyTraining.com, as well as on Apple, Android and Apple TV. If you genuinely find our apps/podcasts useful, we would sincerely appreciate if you leave a review for our apps and/or iTunes channels. It can be done anonymously and this small gesture helps us more than you think.  Our highly realistic and detailed training by ex-McKinsey, BCG et al partners is not for everyone and not every member is the right fit for Firmsconsulting and our community. We focus on those who want to learn real skills to make a measurable and meaningful impact on mankind by solving really tough problems, and with a value system aligned with FC's value system.  Sincerely,  Kris Partner [email protected]
