It’s not McKinsey. And it is true scientists deliver drugs but to be honest what are the thousands of scientists delivering at AbbVie? Seriously, there are 1000s of Discovery scientists what have they discovered that is fueling the pipeline today. With the new Discovery head who is truly an imbecile, AbbVie ensured that the fancy science experiments will continue and the organic pipeline will remain dry.
The issue at AbbVie is the management. For that matter, McKinsey is only doing the job management paid them to do. Management is weak, petty, liars and yes sycophants. To rise at AbbVie, you need to kiss butt to whoever is in charge, kick down others but never actually produce a drug. The amount of money being spent in R&D is a true waste. Go read the RDLT bios on the website, it tells you all you need to know about the quality of this group.
