At Monitor, there is no one path. Instead, Monitor is committed to helping each employee chart their own course to personal competitive advantage—offering experiences within different business units, different geographies, and in different knowledge domains. Specialist Business Unit Experiences
Monitor's business units allow Monitor to create customized solutions for our clients and customized careers for our employees. Few people wish to be a consultant to just one industry for their entire career. The existence of the business units allows Monitor to retain more of its most important assets—its human assets—by giving our people the flexibility to explore different career options over time.
Even our most junior consultants gain exposure to multiple business units as they learn about a business unit's knowledge domain (e.g., finance for Monitor Corporate Finance) through case work and formal training.
Global Experiences
Today's economy is a global one. The internet has enabled even the smallest companies to have global customer bases.
In order to serve our clients effectively, Monitor fields a global network of human assets. These assets are more valuable if they are truly global (i.e., have experience in multiple locations around the world) rather than multi-local (a worldwide network of people with only local experience). Our decision to have a global project allocations system and a global profit pool enables the more fluid movement of our people.
Learning Experiences
Monitor is a learning organization. This focus on learning extends into our compensation scheme, which is skill-based, and allocation system in which a consultant's professional development is an explicit criterion. In addition, the firm places a value on both informal (case-based) and formal (training) learning as well as recognizing the value of external learning opportunities.
Monitor has also created an environment where the ability to have open, honest dialogues about issues is not only encouraged but expected. Monitor's learning environment fosters growth across multiple dimensions: learning through both case experience and formal training, developing knowledge domains, and acquiring integration skills. |
