Curated by Alex Panas, global leader of industries, & Axel Karlsson, global leader of functional practices and growth platforms

Welcome to the latest edition of the CEO Shortlist, a biweekly newsletter of our best ideas for the C-suite. This week, we feature some of the ideas we’re bringing to the World Economic Forum’s Annual Meeting in Davos later this month. Every year, we collaborate with WEF to investigate the year’s most critical issues, and our in-house institutes—covering global business trends, health and wellness, and Black economic development—examine many more. We appreciate the opportunity to connect and hope you find our perspectives novel and insightful. Let us know if you want to meet up at Davos the week after next. You can reach us at Alex_Panas@mckinsey.com and Axel_Karlsson@mckinsey.com. Thank you, as ever.

Global cooperation has flatlined. Our second annual Global Cooperation Barometer finds that, on average, global cooperation has held steady. Precipitous declines in some areas, such as peace and security, have been balanced out by modest increases in foreign direct investment and flows of data and intellectual property. 

Economic empowerment made practical. In an update to the McKinsey Global Institute’s pioneering research on economic empowerment, we detail more than 60 ways that businesses can support their workforces, customers, suppliers, and broader communities to build richer, more rewarding lives.

We hope you find these ideas inspiring and helpful. See you in a couple of weeks with more McKinsey ideas for the CEO and others in the C-suite.
