A back-to-basics approach can help. AN IDEA Take a tip from crisis communications In the early months of the COVID-19 pandemic, many organizations were tasked with conveying complex and sometimes conflicting information to diverse audiences. We noted back then that “the fundamental tools of effective communication still work”: offering clear, simple, and frequent messages; choosing candor over charisma; and helping people build resilience to get through the crisis. Postpandemic, the same techniques can help leaders manage through uncertain times and gain the trust of employees and external stakeholders. Organizational changes can benefit from a well-planned communications strategy—for example, honest messaging can go a long way toward making business transformations successful. In challenging situations such as mergers, “communications should be genuine and transparent,” suggest McKinsey senior partner Oliver Engert and colleagues. “Employees value having difficult messages communicated in a direct way.” A BIG NUMBER 3 That’s roughly how many more times management teams blame rather than credit external events—such as inflation, political upheavals, or regulatory changes—for company performance. “In good times and terrible ones, companies across industries tend to talk a lot more about headwinds than tailwinds,” observe McKinsey senior partner Ryan Davies and colleagues in their study of 14 consecutive quarters of public-company reporting. Yet they find little to no correlation between headwind or tailwind investor communications and company performance, noting that “consistent, clear, and transparent messaging is essential for companies to maintain and enhance credibility with shareholders.” A QUOTE “What the leader cares about does not tap into roughly 80 percent of the workforce’s primary motivators.” Many leaders are taught to create compelling stories that can help effect the organizational transformations they desire. But all too often, such stories fall short because they ignore five major types of impact—including impact on society and individuals—that motivate employees, according to McKinsey senior partners Carolyn Dewar and Scott Keller in their classic article on the irrational aspect of change management. At one company, switching from communicating a conventional change story to one that included all five kinds of impact lifted employee motivation measures from 35.4 percent to 57.1 percent in a month and enabled a 10 percent improvement in cost efficiency in the first year. A SPOTLIGHT INTERVIEW When BBC journalist Ros Atkins flunked an important job interview early in his career, he started thinking about how to communicate more systematically. “I hadn’t worked out a plan for that moment in the room,” he says in a discussion with McKinsey. “I hadn’t worked out the information I wanted to share or the questions I wanted to ask.” Years later, in his role at the BBC, he honed the art of conveying information with precision and confidence. Clear communication depends on expressing the details of a subject in “phrases and sentences and explanations that really feel contained, clear, and devoid of distraction,” says Atkins. It’s also essential to focus only on vital information in the workplace, he adds. “There are certain pieces of information that matter the most. These are things that we really want to get across. There is additional information we don’t really need to include, or very long sentences full of words we don’t really need to say.” I CAN EXPLAIN Corporate buzzwords and jargon are often the target of jokes. But poor communication can have consequences that are far from amusing—bad writing may cost businesses nearly $400 billion a year, according to one survey. In a well-known case, a single typo in a government agency’s report forced a company to go out of business. Workplace communications that are too long, poorly organized, or unclear may confuse recipients and drain productivity. “The difference between good and bad communication can’t be overstated,” says McKinsey partner Julie Goran. “Think about having a clear and compelling narrative that’s shared in a coherent and consistent way. It encourages dialogue and engagement, and it’s a source of motivation.” Lead by communicating well. — Edited by Rama Ramaswami, senior editor, New York Follow our thinking Introducing Insights to Impact Be among the first to subscribe to this free newsletter delivering a weekly roundup of analysis that’s influencing decision makers.

  TODAY’S NEWS. TOMORROW’S INSIGHTS. A daily newsletter from McKinsey & Company Brought to you by Liz Hilton Segel, chief client officer and managing partner, global industry practices, & Homayoun Hatami, managing partner, global client capabilities Real estate and hybrid work In the news • Swiping in. As employers enforce their rules on in-office attendance, some are using ID badges to monitor the amount of time employees stay inside of buildings. About six in ten companies with US offices keep office attendance records, per a survey of roughly 200 real estate leaders. Among them, approximately four in ten employers use badge swipes, data that reveals a computer’s location, or sensors to track attendance. One reason for executives’ focus on attendance is that companies don’t understand how workers are using buildings, one CEO says. [WSJ] • From conference room to classroom. College and university officials are buying office buildings at modest prices as demand for office buildings has fallen. In the US, 49 four-year private schools and 16 four-year public schools are among the institutions of higher learning that have purchased office buildings in the past five years. Unlike when converting offices into housing—which might require putting in bathrooms, kitchens, and windows—adapting them for school use generally doesn’t involve making major changes to buildings. [NYT] “In an unmanaged scenario, we found that office demand in a median city was down by 13%, and in a dire scenario, some cities were down by 38%.” On McKinsey.com • History lesson. It’s important to know the historical context when considering the US office market, David Steinbach, Hines’ global chief investment officer and cohead of investment management, shares with McKinsey partner Brian Vickery in a recent episode of Deal Volume. Tax reform in the 1980s and about 15 years of 0% interest rates incentivized landlords to “increase rent and create higher tenant inducements,” Vickery explains. That in turn raised tenants’ expectations and “distorted the dynamics of supply and demand within office buildings.”  • What workers want. In the hybrid work era, “employees want a space that is social, creative, and collaborative, which is against the old cubicle mindset,” Vickery says. Although real estate has lagged behind in its ability to keep up with what consumers want, better data on how tenants are using office space once they’re inside buildings should enable companies to meet customer expectations more effectively, according to Steinbach.

Explaining 9 types of API testing Smoke Testing This is done after API development is complete. Simply validate if the APIs are working and nothing breaks. Functional Testing This creates a test plan based on the functional requirements and compares the results with the expected results. Integration Testing This test combines several API calls to perform end-to-end tests. The intra-service communications and data transmissions are tested. Regression Testing This test ensures that bug fixes or new features shouldn’t break the existing behaviors of APIs. Load Testing This tests applications’ performance by simulating different loads. Then we can calculate the capacity of the application. Stress Testing We deliberately create high loads to the APIs and test if the APIs are able to function normally. Security Testing This tests the APIs against all possible external threats. UI Testing This tests the UI interactions with the APIs to make sure the data can be displayed properly. Fuzz Testing This injects invalid or unexpected input data into the API and tries to crash the API. In this way, it identifies the API vulnerabilities.

API (Application Programming Interface) and SDK (Software Development Kit) are essential tools in the software development world, but they serve distinct purposes: API: An API is a set of rules and protocols that allows different software applications and services to communicate with each other. It defines how software components should interact. Facilitates data exchange and functionality access between software components. Typically consists of endpoints, requests, and responses. SDK: An SDK is a comprehensive package of tools, libraries, sample code, and documentation that assists developers in building applications for a particular platform, framework, or hardware. Offers higher-level abstractions, simplifying development for a specific platform. Tailored to specific platforms or frameworks, ensuring compatibility and optimal performance on that platform. Offer access to advanced features and capabilities specific to the platform, which might be otherwise challenging to implement from scratch. The choice between APIs and SDKs depends on the development goals and requirements of the project.

Start exploring the repository here. Explain the Top 6 Use Cases of Object Stores What is an object store? Object store uses objects to store data. Compared with file storage which uses a hierarchical structure to store files, or block storage which divides files into equal block sizes, object storage stores metadata together with the objects. Typical products include AWS S3, Google Cloud Storage, and Azure Blob Storage. An object store provides flexibility in formats and scales easily. Case 1: Data Archiving With the ever-growing amounts of business data, we cannot store all the data in core storage systems. We need to have layers of storage plan. An object store can be used to archive old data that exists for auditing or client statements. This is a cost-effective approach. Case 2: Unstructured Data Storage We often need to deal with unstructured data or semi-structured data. In the past, they were usually stored as blobs in the relational database, which was quite inefficient. An object store is a good match for music, video files, and text documents. Companies like Spotify or Netflix uses object store to persist their media files. Case 3: Cloud Native Storage For cloud-native applications, we need the data storage system to be flexible and scalable. Major public cloud providers have easy API access to their object store products and can be used for economical storage choices. Case 4: Data Lake There are many types of data in a distributed system. An object store-backed data lake provides a good place for different business lines to dump their data for later analytics or machine learning. The efficient reads and writes of the object store facilitate more steps down the data processing pipeline, including ETL(Extract-Transform-Load) or constructing a data warehouse. Case 5: Internet of Things (IoT) IoT sensors produce all kinds of data. An object store can store this type of time series and later run analytics or AI algorithms on them. Major public cloud providers provide pipelines to ingest raw IoT data into the object store. Case 6: Backup and Recovery An object store can be used to store database or file system backups. Later, the backups can be loaded for fast recovery. This improves the system’s availability. Over to you: What did you use object store for?

  Share this email Share this email on LinkedIn   Share this email on Twitter   Share this email on Facebook   THIS MONTH'S PAGE-TURNERS ON BUSINESS AND BEYOND You’ve just been blindsided by a business setback or a personal loss. The experience could render you crippled by caution, or it could help you reframe the future. As the interviews below demonstrate, life lessons can create opportunity for growth and innovation. At times, they can harness the potential that turns the biggest gambles into the greatest payoffs.  In this edition of Readers & Leaders, learn how perceived setbacks turned three authors into catalysts for change and transformed their approach to business and leadership. When met with the challenges of Ebola and energy deprivation in the poorest communities, Dr. Rajiv J. Shah, president of the Rockefeller Foundation, employed the “big bets” concept—using innovative solutions to tackle the world’s greatest problems. In a new Author Talks interview, Dr. Shah shares the importance of learning from others to enact change, why trusting your moral instincts is important, and why giving up control is essential to achieving scale and sustainability. In other featured interviews, Ron Shaich, founder and former CEO of Au Bon Pain and Panera Bread, explores how the loss of his parents helped him redefine a life well-lived and turn pain into purpose, and BBC analysis editor Ros Atkins discusses how a lost job opportunity triggered a journey into improving his communication skills. IT BEARS REPEATING “I actually learned a playbook of how young people, in particular, can aspire to be changemakers. Anyone can be a changemaker if they adopt a big-bet mindset and are willing to think boldly—just as boldly as you would in the private sector. Think boldly about how you can actually make positive changes in this world.” —Dr. Rajiv J. Shah, president, the Rockefeller Foundation, in an October edition of Author Talks. IN CASE YOU MISSED IT Ron Shaich on why your life assessment shouldn’t happen “in the ninth inning, with two outs”: “Essentially, the process of a premortem, or defining today what’s going to matter tomorrow, is about figuring out, ‘Where do I want to land in the future? I know where I want to be in three years, in five, in seven. I could effectively build a plan to get there.’” Watch the full interview. Ros Atkins offers a practical approach to effective explanation: “If you can spot the elements of those subjects that you’re not comfortable with, get the information to help you, and then do the preparation to make sure you can express that information clearly, you understand the subject, and you can then explain it.” Watch the full interview.

  TODAY’S NEWS. TOMORROW’S INSIGHTS. A daily newsletter from McKinsey & Company Brought to you by Liz Hilton Segel, chief client officer and managing partner, global industry practices, & Homayoun Hatami, managing partner, global client capabilities The gen-AI-enabled workplace In the news • It’s a new gen(AI)eration. Generative AI (gen AI) could be as game-changing as the transformative technologies that shaped the Industrial Revolution. Unlike previous rounds of automation, however, gen AI is more likely to disrupt the activities of knowledge workers than those of factory and warehouse workers. The challenge of gen AI lies in balancing the risks and opportunities. Some are concerned about whether displaced workers can find comparably skilled jobs, while others view the innovation as a catalyst for growth rather than one that will replace people. [WSJ] • The gen AI advantage. Recent research from a freelance platform revealed that almost two-thirds of US C-suite respondents believe they will actually hire more because of gen AI. Workers with a basic understanding of gen AI skills will be at an advantage. And though workers are concerned about gen AI replacing them, they are also very invested in its abilities to help them perform their jobs more efficiently and save them from burnout: while 49% of workers said job displacement was a concern, 70% would allow AI to handle multiple tasks to lighten their workloads, according to a different study. [Axios] Historically, automation has affected workers with lower education and skill levels. Gen AI is flipping the script: more-educated workers will likely experience the greatest degree of impact. On McKinsey.com • Huge gains. Organizational leaders and the public at large have rapidly embraced gen AI since ChatGPT’s launch in November 2022. Following the launch, multiple companies also announced the development and integration of different large language models. Gen AI could add up to $4.4 trillion annually to the global economy, according to recent McKinsey research. The banking, high-tech, and life sciences industries are among those that could see the biggest impact, McKinsey Digital’s global leader, Rodney Zemmel, and coauthors find. • Millions of job shifts. Gen AI could automate almost 10% of tasks in the US economy, say McKinsey senior partner Kweilin Ellingrud and partner Saurabh Sanghvi. Overall, roughly 12 million occupational shifts may need to happen by 2030 for workers to keep up. Ensuring the reskilling and upskilling of workers during this transition falls on individual companies. The silver lining? If companies are able to do so successfully, we could have more jobs in the future than we have today.

As you take some time to unwind, be sure to catch up on the week’s highlights on going beyond “quiet luxury,” gen AI and the future of work, explainable AI, and more. In an interview with McKinsey’s Theodora Koullias and Roger Roberts, Massimo Caronna of the Italian luxury brand Brunello Cucinelli talks about growth, succession planning, and “humanistic capitalism.” Put people first Generative AI is front and center for nearly every industry and is poised to change just about everything.

Subscribe to the new newsletter TECH FOR EXECS Our experts serve up a periodic look at the technology concepts leaders need to understand to help their organizations grow and thrive in the digital age. ‘Explainable AI’: More than meets the eye What it is. Explainable AI (XAI) refers to the ability to understand how an AI-powered application arrived at a particular output. Thanks to complex algorithms in AI applications, this isn’t easy. But doing so is foundational to managing risks and ensuring that an AI application performs optimally. Why we need it. While the neural networks running behind many AI apps are loosely modeled after the human brain, they often don’t process data in the ways that humans do. But if we can’t understand how AI arrived at a particular conclusion, how can skeptical users trust the results enough to take actions on them? XAI has business implications as well. It can help data scientists figure out why an app might be producing biased or inaccurate recommendations. Also, if regulators want proof that bias isn’t occurring—a mounting concern as more governments consider AI regulations—XAI makes it easier to provide that proof. How to make AI interpretable. Data scientists are applying a number of “explainability” features—including local interpretable model-agnostic explanations (LIME) and Shapley additive explanations (SHAP)—to illuminate which data most influence an AI’s decisions. Still, only 25 percent of organizations enable XAI. Is your AI interpretable? Simple, easily interpretable algorithms often suffice, but when complexity is required, applying explainability techniques should become standard practice. QUOTE OF THE DAY “If the office wants to thrive, there’s a world where it absolutely can. It just has to be completely reimagined.

That's where Kubernetes comes in. Kubernetes (also known as "k8s") is an open-source container orchestration platform that automates deployment, scaling, and management of containerized applications. With Kubernetes, you don't have to worry about manually placing containers or restarting failed ones. You simply describe your desired application architecture and Kubernetes makes it happen and keeps it running. In this two-part series, we'll dive deep into Kubernetes and cover: Key concepts like pods, controllers, and services The components that make up a Kubernetes cluster When and why Kubernetes is useful for your applications Tradeoffs to consider before adopting Kubernetes We'll demystify Kubernetes and equip you with everything you need to determine if and when Kubernetes could be the right solution for your applications. You'll walk away with a clear understanding of what Kubernetes is, how it works, and how to put it into practice. Whether you're a developer, ops engineer, or technology leader, you'll find invaluable insights in this deep dive into Kubernetes. Let's get started! Brief History Kubernetes can be traced back to Google's internal container orchestration system, Borg, which managed the deployment of thousands of applications within Google. Containers are a method of packaging and isolating applications into standardized units that can be easily moved between environments. Unlike traditional virtual machines (VMs) which virtualize an entire operating system, containers only virtualize the application layer, making them more lightweight, portable and efficient. In 2014, Google open-sourced a container orchestration system based on its learnings from Borg. This is Kubernetes. Kubernetes provides automated deployment, scaling and management of containerized applications. By leveraging containers rather than VMs, Kubernetes provides benefits like increased resource efficiency, faster deployment of applications, and portability across on-prem and cloud environments. Why is it also called k8s? This is a somewhat nerdy way of abbreviating long words. The number 8 in k8s refers to the 8 letters between the first letter “k” and the last letter “s” in the word Kubernetes. Kubernetes Architecture and Key Components At its core, Kubernetes follows a client-server architecture. There are two core pieces in a Kubernetes cluster - control plane and worker nodes. The control plane is responsible for managing the state of the cluster. In production environments, the control plane usually runs on multiple nodes that span across several data center zones. In other words, the control plane manages worker nodes and the containers running on them. The containerized applications run in a Pod. Pods are the smallest deployable units in Kubernetes. A pod hosts one or more containers and provides shared storage and networking for those containers. Pods are created and managed by the Kubernetes control plane. They are the basic building blocks of Kubernetes applications. Let’s dive deeper into the main pieces. Kubernetes Control Plane The control plane is the brain of Kubernetes. It consists of various components that, together, make global decisions about the cluster. The control plane components run on multiple servers across availability zones to provide high availability.

• [eBook] ​​How to take infrastructure monitoring to the next level

  New Relic

  The paradox of infrastructure monitoring is that the more mission-critical it becomes, the more complex it becomes to monitor and manage. DevOps and SRE teams face a sprawling network of complex systems and changing environments. This increasingly complex software infrastructure is now more critical to business success than it’s ever been. A mixed bag of metrics from a disconnected set of tools isn’t sufficient in today’s environment. With observability, you can proactively collect, visualize, and apply intelligence to all of your metrics, events, logs, and traces in order to gain a holistic understanding of your entire software system. How do you get there? In our eBook, we’ll look at four ways that DevOps and SRE teams can achieve true observability. Download Ebook Need help? Let's get in touch.

  TODAY’S NEWS. TOMORROW’S INSIGHTS. A daily newsletter from McKinsey & Company Brought to you by Liz Hilton Segel, chief client officer and managing partner, global industry practices, & Homayoun Hatami, managing partner, global client capabilities Assessing developer productivity In the news • Engaging developers. Many organizations are cutting back on the software they buy in favor of developing more of their own software in-house. That often means recruiting new digital talent. For software developers to start coding from the first day on the job, they need access to the right tools. Providing an app-store-type platform, where developers pick the tools they want to use, can help them to work productively, software engineering leaders say. Creating a community for developers can also improve their experience. [Computer Weekly] • Speedier code. Developers are embracing generative AI (gen AI) tools, which may be applied throughout the stages of software development. Gen AI platforms can suggest applications, propose code, and produce written documentation. In a study of 95 programmers, the developers who used a gen-AI-based tool were able to complete a task significantly faster than the group that did not. This suggests that such technologies could improve software developers’ overall output and boost the performance of less experienced coders. [Brookings] Top tech companies aim for developers to spend up to 70% of their time doing inner-loop activities such as coding, building, and unit testing. On McKinsey.com • Measuring productivity. Many leaders think that it’s not possible to measure software developers’ productivity. But with most companies becoming, to an extent, software companies, executives must know that they are using talent effectively, McKinsey senior partner Chandra Gnanasambandam and coauthors say. Software development is complex, creative work that requires tracking multiple metrics. To help overcome these challenges, McKinsey developed a way to evaluate developer productivity that is easier to implement with surveys or existing data. • Two sets of tasks. To identify areas for improvement, it’s helpful to think of the activities involved in software development as being arranged in two loops. An inner loop consists of activities directly related to creating the product, while an outer loop comprises other tasks developers must perform to push their code to production. Since building products directly generates value, having developers spend more time in the inner loop is desirable. Consider four key steps to start to assess software productivity.

• Working parents are often in critical roles. How can companies better support them?

  TODAY’S NEWS. TOMORROW’S INSIGHTS. A daily newsletter from McKinsey & Company Brought to you by Liz Hilton Segel, chief client officer and managing partner, global industry practices, & Homayoun Hatami, managing partner, global client capabilities Parents under pressure In the news • Day care closures. Pandemic-era funding for US day care centers expired at the end of September, which could prompt the closures of tens of thousands of childcare centers. That would leave roughly three million kids without paid care, generating a $9 billion annual loss to the economy as working parents depart the labor force. About four in ten childcare centers anticipate having to increase prices after the fiscal support lapses, a 2022 survey from the National Association for the Education of Young Children found. [Fortune] • Potential pitfall. A record share of US women between the ages of 25 and 54—roughly three-quarters—are in the labor force. Employed women are helping to fill talent gaps, promote economic growth, and ease upward price pressures. But now that the nation’s childcare centers are no longer receiving emergency funding, women’s progress in the workforce and broader economic output may be in jeopardy. Research shows that if an additional 10% of prime-age working women were to join the workforce, that could have boosted GDP by $1.7 trillion in 2019. [WaPo] Eighty-eight percent of women said that some version of childcare support would make them more likely to choose an employer. On McKinsey.com • ‘Fix the structure.’ Seeing millions of women exit the workforce made Reshma Saujani, the founder of Girls Who Code and the founder and CEO of the Marshall Plan for Moms, realize that making it possible for women to be moms and to work requires a different approach. “We have to stop trying to fix the woman and instead fix the structure,” says Saujani. That means paid leave, affordable childcare, and flexibility, adds Saujani, who joined McKinsey Global Institute director Kweilin Ellingrud and partner Kunal Modi on an episode of McKinsey’s Future of America podcast. • Childcare challenges. McKinsey partnered with the Marshall Plan for Moms to conduct research on the experiences of working families. The lack of childcare is a central challenge that people face in every part of their labor market experience, explains Modi. A survey of nearly 2,000 working parents in the US found that 45% of mothers with kids under the age of five who left the workforce during the pandemic cited childcare as a reason they left, compared with only 14% of fathers.
