Consulting firm McKinsey & Company (hereafter McKinsey) is partnering with Google Cloud to support corporations in transitioning to artificial intelligence (AI).
McKinsey said on the 23rd that it will launch the "McKinsey Google Transformation Group" with Google Cloud to help corporations shift to AI.
The two companies plan to help corporations move beyond the early "pilot" stage of AI adoption and leap to the "production" stage, where AI is applied at scale across the business and tied to companywide results through consolidation.
To that end, McKinsey will combine its industry expertise and business transformation strategy with Google Cloud's next-generation AI models, including Gemini, to provide customized solutions that redesign clients' work processes and operating models on an AI basis.
Recently, McKinsey has been expanding partnerships with major technology corporations such as Amazon Web Services (AWS), Microsoft, and Nvidia. Collaboration with Google Cloud is part of this expansion of the global tech ecosystem.
Ruth Sun, president of Google Cloud Korea, said, "This collaboration focuses on supporting the important task in AI adoption of 'transitioning from pilot to a scalable operational phase.'"
Song Seung-heon, managing partner of McKinsey Korea Office, said, "This collaboration will be an important turning point for Korean corporations to embed AI at the core of corporate competitiveness."
