New from McKinsey & Company

  Curated by Eleni Kostopoulos
  Digital Publishing Manager, New York

For many companies—and many industries—the COVID-19 pandemic set off a period of head-spinning change. They realized they were capable of moving faster than they ever thought possible. They went digital in a matter of days, not years. They offered new services almost overnight. If companies sustain this newfound speed and agility, it’s conceivable that more innovation will happen in the next ten years than in any previous decade in modern history. Life in the 2030s could be vastly different from today. In our multimedia series called The Next Normal, business leaders and McKinsey experts describe what the 2030s might look like:

Partner Jesse Klempner sees a future in point-to-point transport (that is, the idea that you can launch a rocket from New York and land in Paris in 30 minutes).

Partner Anna Pione sees offerings that let consumers triage medical issues mostly by themselves, so they’d bring in a doctor only when absolutely necessary.

Senior partner Aditya Sanghvi sees the high-rise of the future as a mixed-use building: maybe an office for ten floors, apartments for 15 floors, a hotel for ten, and a club area at the top.
