Chris Gagnon

Chris co-leads McKinsey's Organization practice globally and is the head of their OrgSolutions group. He helps clients improve their performance and health by taking an integrated approach to align Org design with culture, talent, change management and leadership. He has worked with clients in many sectors including consumer products, technology, private equity and hospitality and leisure.

As the global co-leader of the Organization practice, Chris has two passions. His first passion involves leading McKinsey’s efforts to bring “hard” data, tools and analytics to the “soft” topics of organization. A few of the tools Chris developed with the OrgSolutions group include the Organizational Health Index (OHI), OrgLab, People Analytics, and our new Mass Personalization of Change tools.

Chris’ other passion includes leading McKinsey’s research into “Beyond the Matrix” organization learning from the most aggressive organizational experiments and approaches in the world. This style brings new approaches to our clients that are faster, more tech-enabled, and more human centered.
