McKinsey’s consultants are so discreet that they succeed in passing almost unnoticed in the structures where they officiate. At the National Old Age Insurance Fund (CNAV), a large part of the staff ignored, up to a recent date, that the Tricolore Subsidiary of the US firm was entrusted with a mission in this institution. The pot at the roses was discovered by the work of the Senate Commission of Inquiry, which rendered a report on 17 March on “the growing influence” of this type of service provider. Thursday, March 24, trade unionists arrested the CNAV management on this subject during a meeting of the Social and Economic Committee – the Employee Representation Instance.

One of the issues raised echoes acidic observations from senators. In their report, the elected representatives of the Luxembourg Palace express their perplexity in the face of this mission ordered, at the end of 2019, as part of the pension reform promised by Emmanuel Macron. A dozen consultants had been involved for several months. It was a question of accompanying the Caisse, whereas the establishment of a universal system, synonymous with “organization shock” for the plan. “The CNAV has listeners with an excellent level, but we wanted to benefit from the neutral perspective and recommendations of a” third-party operator “for a depth transformation that was to be carried out quickly quickly “, Explains the General Manager, Renaud Villard.

The Director of CNAV” Very Satisfied “

Finally, the universal system project was put in parentheses, then abandoned. The intervention of McKinsey, it cost a little more than 957 000 euros, “with only tangible traces a PowerPoint and a 50-page book,” said Eliane Assassi, Communist Senator of Val-de-Marne and Rapporteur. The Commission of Inquiry: “We are far from a detailed report to the height of this difficult objective and commissioned by the news!”

From money spent pure loss? “It’s nothing,” replies Villard. This benefit has allowed us to question all of our processes to live up to the stakes of the public retirement service of tomorrow. “Mr. Villard thought. “Very satisfied with what has been delivered”: “The methods proposed to drive the change has been and we will be in the future, we have largely capitalized on deploying a governance and a transformation pilotage, entitled Retirement 2025, in the strict prolongation of this mission. “
