Employee disengagement and attrition could cost a median-size S&P 500 company more than $288 million a year in lost productivity, according to recent McKinsey research. The more satisfied and committed employees are at work, the higher their self-reported performance and well-being. With hybrid and remote-working models now the norm in many workplaces, how can companies measure employee effectiveness, and in turn, boost productivity? In a new McKinsey Quarterly article, Aaron De Smet, Angelika Reich, and their coauthors describe the six worker archetypes present in every organization—from highly dissatisfied and actively disengaged on one end of the spectrum to “thriving stars” on the other—and suggest what companies can do to help improve the performance of all employees. Check it out to see how your company can build a more resilient and engaged workforce. And don’t miss this week’s sustainable and inclusive growth briefing which features the best-of-summer roundup of SIG insights.

Cybersecurity in the age of generative AI: A leader’s guide
Share this email
Brought to you by Liz Hilton Segel, chief client officer and managing partner, global industry practices, & Homayoun Hatami, managing partner, global client capabilities
Cyber Awareness Month begins on October 1 in the United States, but it’s never too early for leaders anywhere to think about cybersecurity—especially now that generative AI (gen AI) has profoundly altered the online landscape. Businesses that are eager to take advantage of gen AI’s considerable benefits cannot ignore its increasing risks. Hallucinations, copyright infringement, and advanced social engineering and impersonation are just a few of the many threats that gen AI technology poses to organizations, most of which are already grappling with an ever-increasing number of cyberattacks. Here’s a quick look at what your organization should be prepared for.
It’s not often that a $2 trillion opportunity comes along. That’s the estimated worth of the market for cybersecurity products and services, according to new research led by McKinsey partner Marc Sorel and colleagues. “Currently available commercial solutions do not fully meet customer demands in terms of automation, pricing, services, and other capabilities,” they say. Only about 10 percent of the addressable market is served today; combined with increasing regulation and growing C-suite concerns about security and privacy, this gives both cybersecurity providers and buyers a compelling opportunity. “Until recently, many organizations that required cyber protection were not fully engaged with the challenges they faced,” say the McKinsey experts. “Often, they saw the cost and complexity of action as greater than the need for it. Now, with attacks becoming more frequent, the risk–benefit equation has changed.”
That’s the percentage of respondents to a McKinsey survey who rank cybersecurity as one of the top risks of gen AI adoption. Only 38 percent of organizations are working to mitigate the risk, however, down from 51 percent in 2022. Overall, respondents’ mitigation efforts lag behind their concerns; for example, 39 percent of organizations consider privacy a risk, but only 20 percent are making efforts to counter it. One way to allay risks is to “keep a human in the loop,” suggest McKinsey experts. “That is, make sure a real human checks any gen AI output before it’s published or used.”
That’s McKinsey’s Bryce Hall quoting “one of the most colorful analogies” on gen AI that he has heard from business leaders. “With the speed and advancements in technology, we don’t even know yet what type of electric fence to put into place,” adds McKinsey expert Liz Grennan. “We are seeing a lot of case studies about reputational damage, customer attrition, and erosion of market value, along with increased fines and regulatory scrutiny.” Leading companies that are developing or adopting gen AI solutions are pulling in legal and cyber risk experts from the start, and some global compliance standards may take effect next year. “The stage will be very crowded with both virtue and vice,” says Grennan. “One of next year’s tech trends could be the use of AI to combat the harms of AI because we can’t solve this with traditional means.”
A strong culture often contributes to the success of most corporate initiatives, and cybersecurity is no exception. Developer data platform company MongoDB discovered this when it implemented a security awareness program that encouraged employees to participate in protecting the organization. Roughly more than 100 of the firm’s employees—people from different ranks and locations and with varying levels of expertise—volunteer as “security champions” to test security-related tools, identify potential vulnerabilities, and provide feedback to the company’s security team. A clear win is when feedback from participants leads to a tool’s adoption, says Felix Chen, MongoDB’s cybersecurity education and advocacy senior analyst, in an interview with McKinsey’s James Kaplan and Charlie Lewis. “We ask them for a simple input. Even if it’s something that we don’t go with, the fact that we are asking creates a sense of inclusion and contribution.”
The Journey to Becoming Enlightened Is Arduous is not, as you might think, a serious work of philosophy—it’s one of many AI-generated fake books on online bestseller lists. And what looks like authentic medical insurance for sale may have a fake human peddling it. While some malicious applications of gen AI technology may be easy to spot, many can be convincing enough to spread political propaganda or distort historical fact. No protection method can be considered foolproof, but organizations that invest in the best talent and build cybersecurity into every process and relationship with customers and suppliers stand a better chance of warding off the newest generation of cyberthreats.
Lead securely.

Generative AI has entered the mainstream. How widespread is it among workers?
On Point
Brought to you by Liz Hilton Segel, chief client officer and managing partner, global industry practices, & Homayoun Hatami, managing partner, global client capabilities
•
Career builder or breaker? A recent Pew survey finds that workers are split on whether to expect AI technologies to help or hurt their careers over the next 20 years. But IT and technology workers—who are the most exposed to AI—are much more optimistic. They are nearly three times more likely to expect AI to help than to hurt their careers. The Pew research also indicates that women’s roles, which are less likely to require physical labor, are more exposed to AI than men’s. [WaPo]
•
Genuine interest in gen AI. The latest McKinsey Global Survey on AI shows how quickly generative AI tools have caught on. One-third of survey respondents say their organizations are regularly using gen AI in at least one part of their business, and about eight in ten respondents across regions, industries, and seniority levels have at least tried out a gen AI tool. Three-quarters predict that gen AI will cause significant or disruptive change in their industries, and many expect their companies’ AI investments to increase because of advances with gen AI.
•
Expected effects on employees. Senior partners Alexander Sukharevsky, Alex Singla, Lareina Yee and coauthors find with this research that many organizations are not yet fully addressing the risks from gen AI adoption. For example, only 21% of respondents report that their organizations have established policies governing employees’ use of gen AI. Respondents expect gen AI adoption to change their companies’ workforce needs. See which business functions they predict will see the biggest changes and to what extent they expect workers to be reskilled.

If you’re not a subscriber, here’s what you missed this month.
How Do C++, Java, Python Work?
The diagram shows how the compilation and execution work.
Compiled languages are compiled into machine code by the compiler. The machine code can later be executed directly by the CPU. Examples: C, C++, Go.
A bytecode language like Java, compiles the source code into bytecode first, then the JVM executes the program. Sometimes JIT (Just-In-Time) compiler compiles the source code into machine code to speed up the execution. Examples: Java, C#
Interpreted languages are not compiled. They are interpreted by the interpreter during runtime. Examples: Python, Javascript, Ruby
Compiled languages in general run faster than interpreted languages.
Over to you: which type of language do you prefer?Top 5 Kafka use cases
Kafka was originally built for massive log processing. It retains messages until expiration and lets consumers pull messages at their own pace.
Unlike its predecessors, Kafka is more than a message queue, it is an open-source event streaming platform for various cases.
Let’s review the popular Kafka use cases.Log processing and analysis
The diagram below shows a typical ELK (Elastic-Logstash-Kibana) stack. Kafka efficiently collects log streams from each instance. ElasticSearch consumes the logs from Kafka and indexes them. Kibana provides a search and visualization UI on top of ElasticSearch.Data streaming in recommendations
E-commerce sites like Amazon use past behaviors and similar users to calculate product recommendations. The diagram below shows how the recommendation system works. Kafka streams the raw clickstream data, Flink processes it, and model training consumes the aggregated data from the data lake. This allows continuous improvement of the relevance of recommendations for each user.System monitoring and alerting
Similar to the log analysis system, we need to collect system metrics for monitoring and troubleshooting. The difference is that metrics are structured data while logs are unstructured text. Metrics data is sent to Kafka and aggregated in Flink. The aggregated data is consumed by a real-time monitoring dashboard and alerting system (for example, PagerDuty).CDC (Change data capture)
Change Data Capture (CDC) streams database changes to other systems for replication or cache/index updates. For example, in the diagram below, the transaction log is sent to Kafka and ingested by ElasticSearch, Redis, and secondary databases.System migration
Upgrading legacy services is challenging - old languages, complex logic, and lack of tests. We can mitigate the risk by leveraging a messaging middleware. In the diagram below, to upgrade the order service in the diagram below, we update the legacy order service to consume input from Kafka and write the result to ORDER topic. The new order service consumes the same input and writes the result to ORDERNEW topic. A reconciliation service compares ORDER and ORDERNEW. If they are identical, the new service passes testing.
Over to you: Do you have any other Kafka use cases to share?
How is data transmitted between applications?
The diagram below shows how a server sends data to another server.
Assume a chat application running in the user space sends out a chat message. The message is sent to the send buffer in the kernel space. The data then goes through the network stack and is wrapped with a TCP header, an IP header, and a MAC header. The data also goes through qdisc (Queueing Disciplines) for flow control. Then the data is sent to the NIC (Network Interface Card) via a ring buffer.
The data is sent to the internet via NIC. After many hops among routers and switches, the data arrives at the NIC of the receiving server.
The NIC of the receiving server puts the data in the ring buffer and sends a hard interrupt to the CPU. The CPU sends a soft interrupt so that ksoftirqd receives data from the ring buffer. Then the data is unwrapped through the data link layer, network layer and transport layer. Eventually, the data (chat message) is copied to the user space and reaches the chat application on the receiving side.
Over to you: What happens when the ring buffer is full? Will it lose packets?An Unusual Request: Combating International Book Piracy on Amazon
As many of you know, I publish my books on Amazon.
It is a great platform to do so. Amazon is where I direct people to find and buy my books. Unfortunately, there is an increasingly problematic piracy issue on the site for my books internationally, especially in India, which I am no longer able to solve by myself. The provided links direct to Amazon India, and ALL the books sold through those links are pirated.
More and more customers are getting low-quality, pirated books shipped to them. The smaller problem is that pirates get paid, and not me. The larger problem is that people get books that are unusable and unacceptable in quality, and leave 1-start reviews.
If you work at Amazon, can you please reply to this email, and help escalate this issue? I would like to keep promoting Amazon as a trusted source to purchase my books. But this issue needs to be resolved, and I'd need help from within the company. Thanks a lot in advance!

What's on the agenda at the G20 Summit?
Share this email
Brought to you by Liz Hilton Segel, chief client officer and managing partner, global industry practices, & Homayoun Hatami, managing partner, global client capabilities
New from McKinsey Global Institute
This weekend, leaders of the world’s largest economies will meet in New Delhi, India for the G20 Summit. With the theme “One Earth, One Family, One Future,” their goal will be to shape global economic policy for the year to come, incorporating discussions of sustainable growth. A new report from the McKinsey Global Institute dives into two key ambitions for the people and the planet: addressing poverty and climate change. When it comes to raising living standards and building a greener world, the actions taken (or not) in this decade will determine what kind of world the next generation will inherit, say Anu Madgavkar, Sven Smit, Mekala Krishnan, Jonathan Woetzel, Kweilin Ellingrud, and Tracy Francis. Read the report to understand the economics of addressing both poverty and climate change in a decisive way, and explore other recent insights on the global economy as the summit kicks off.

The future of gen AI in 15 charts
The CEO Shortlist
Share this email
Curated by Liz Hilton Segel, chief client officer and managing partner, global industry practices, & Homayoun Hatami, managing partner, global client capabilities
The CEO role has never been easy: the boss is ultimately in charge of forming the company’s new strategies, then marshaling the resources to deliver on them. But what we’re hearing now from the world’s CEOs is that their role is harder than ever. Accordingly, we’re doubling down on our commitment to support them. Our CEO Excellence research is generating a steady stream of insights on how the best CEOs consistently deliver results. And other colleagues continue to surface the issues that matter most to CEOs and their teams in the C-suite. In line with that, we’ve changed the focus (and the name) of this newsletter to signal our commitment to helping CEOs—both present and future—do the best jobs they can. Rest assured, we will continue to deliver, twice monthly, four articles and reports that are must-reads for people across the workforce—from C-level execs to the front line. In this edition, we look at the future of generative AI, software developer productivity, and more. We hope you enjoy the read.
—Liz and Homayoun
All gen AI, all the time. It might feel like overload, but gen AI is just getting started. With so many current use cases—and hundreds, if not thousands, more on the horizon—knowing how to apply the technology to your business can seem daunting. To help, we’ve pulled together 15 of our most insightful charts, not only to offer ideas about where gen AI is headed, but also to help business leaders in a wide variety of industries put this tool to work, creating efficiencies and value.
Peer with us into the crystal ball with What’s the future of generative AI? An early view in 15 charts, a new visual McKinsey Explainer.Are you familiar with DORA and SPACE? If not, maybe you should be: they’re essential metrics that software developers use to measure productivity—something companies have historically struggled with. Our new approach combines these tools and others to shine a light on what can sometimes seem like a black box. As every company becomes a software company, shouldn’t you know what’s going on?
It’s true: Yes, you can measure software developer productivity, by Chandra Gnanasambandam, Martin Harrysson, Alharith Hussin, Jason Keovichit, and Shivam Srivastava. What do you call it when carmakers sell insurance, bankers sell furniture, accountants sell HR services, and a few superapps sell all the above and more? We call it the ecosystem economy. Senior partners Venkat Atluri and Miklós Dietz have documented a massive shift from industry sectors to customer-focused ecosystems and make the case that this might be the biggest economic reorganization in history. What will it mean for your company?
Read or listen to the latest episode of our Inside the Strategy Room podcast, Strategies to win in the new ecosystem economy, and order the book if you’d like to go deeper.Growing the top line is good. Growing the bottom line is better. And best of all is growth that accrues to the benefit of all stakeholders. Our new research finds that companies that are “triple outperformers”—meaning they grow faster and are more profitable than peers while also improving sustainability and ESG efforts—exceed their peers in shareholder returns.
Hit the trifecta with The triple play: Growth, profit, and sustainability, by Rebecca Doherty, Claudia Kampel, Anna Koivuniemi, Lucy Pérez, and Werner Rehm.We hope you find our new focus on CEOs inspiring and helpful. See you in two weeks with four more McKinsey ideas for the CEO and others in the C-suite.

We knew her when: Unilever’s past CHRO (Chanel’s new CEO) on reimagining work
On Point
Brought to you by Liz Hilton Segel, chief client officer and managing partner, global industry practices, & Homayoun Hatami, managing partner, global client capabilities
•
Break with tradition. The COVID-19 pandemic broke traditional models of employment, says Leena Nair, former CHRO of Unilever, in an interview with McKinsey alum Mary Meaney. Creating personalized solutions for employees in 190 countries has been a huge challenge, Nair explains. To help, Unilever developed a platform called COVID Awareness and Situation Intelligence that can predict infection and hospitalization rates. Local leaders were able to use the platform’s data to decide when to open an office.
•
Working dynamically. Even before the pandemic, Unilever was investing in digital tools that enable people to work fluidly, Nair says. One digital tool matches people who have capacity in particular areas with those who are looking for those skills. In 2020, that enabled Unilever to move resources from the hard-hit parts of the business to those that were growing. About 10,000 employees have been redeployed or have used the platform, Nair adds. See five lessons Unilever’s past CHRO says she’s learned since the COVID-19 pandemic began.

How to Choose a Replication Strategy

In the last issue, we kicked off a 2-part series exploring common data replication strategies. We learned about the leader-follower model - its synchronous and asynchronous variations, consistency considerations, failure handling, and more.
In this issue, we'll examine two alternative approaches - multi-leader and leaderless replication. We'll contrast their designs, dive into how they work, and see the types of use cases where they excel.
By the end, you'll understand the core replication models and how to select the right strategy based on your system needs and constraints. Let's jump back in where we left off last week.
Multi-Leader Replication
Multi-leader replication, sometimes called leader-leader replication, involves the use of multiple primary nodes, also known as leaders, each capable of receiving and processing write requests. These leaders replicate data between each other to stay up to date. Each leader may also have follower replicas for read scaling.
The primary advantage of this model is increased write availability. With multiple active leaders, failure of one node doesn't disrupt writes - other leaders continue handling write requests. This improves upon leader-follower designs where a failed leader halts writes until a new leader is available.
However, multi-leader replication comes with its own set of challenges. For instance, with multiple leaders handling write requests, conflicting changes may occur when leaders modify the same data concurrently.
Managing Conflict
Conflicts are a natural outcome in multi-leader replication models given that multiple leaders can perform write operations simultaneously. Effective conflict management is a complex task, but it is crucial for ensuring data consistency and integrity.
Here are some commonly employed conflict resolution strategies.
Last Write Wins
This is a straightforward method where the most recent change takes precedence. While easy to implement, it risks discarding important updates.
Conflict-free Replicated Data Types (CRDTs)
CRDTs allow for seamless reconciliation of conflicting changes by merging them. CRDTs come in various types for different kinds of data like counters, sets, and lists, and automatically resolve conflicts without requiring a separate conflict resolution process.
Operational Transformation
Operational transformation is often used in real-time collaborative applications. It takes the operation itself into account, not just the state of the data. This method is complex to implement but offers fine-grained control.
Application-specific Resolution
In some cases, conflict resolution logic can be pushed to the application level. The application can employ domain-specific rules or even involve human intervention for resolving conflicts.
Data Partitioning
Another alternative is to partition data across multiple leaders to minimize conflicting changes. However, implementing cross-partition transactions requires careful coordination, and potential hot spots on busy data partitions need to be managed effectively. It’s worth noting that this strategy can reduce the overall write throughput across the cluster.
Replication Lag and Inconsistent Reads
As with leader-follower replication, multi-leader systems are susceptible to replication lag and inconsistent reads. They cause temporary inconsistencies between leaders until updates fully propagate. Applications must be designed with this in mind.
Use Cases
What are some use cases for multi-leader replication? For applications that have users globally, multi-leader replication can reduce the latency for end-users by allowing them to interact with a nearby leader node.
Systems that cannot afford downtime, such as financial transaction platforms, can benefit from having multiple leaders. Even if one goes down, operations continue.
For applications with heavy write loads, distributing the write operations across multiple leaders can prevent any single node from becoming a bottleneck.
Tradeoffs and Challenges
In essence, multi-leader replication is particularly useful for applications that prioritize high write availability, fault tolerance, and globally-distributed data accessibility. Many modern databases can leverage this replication strategy, either natively, or with an extension, with varying degrees of success.
Multi-leader replication provides high availability but requires careful design around consensus, conflict detection, and resolution mechanisms. When implemented well, it can be a powerful approach for maximizing write throughput and availability.
In the next section, we’ll explore the leaderless replication model which takes a different approach.
Leaderless Replication
Leaderless replication takes a quorum-based approach. This concept may sound a bit strange, especially when we've just spent some time discussing models that operate under a clear hierarchy. In a leaderless system, any node in the network has the authority to accept write operations. The absence of a single leader fundamentally changes the dynamics of our system.
Quorum Writes and Reads
Now, let's start with a key concept that underpins leaderless replication: 'quorum writes and reads'. In a system without a leader, we don't rely on any single node to validate a read or write operation. Instead, we aim for consensus among a certain number of nodes. This number is called the 'quorum'. Using a quorum approach balances high availability with data accuracy, since we no longer require full consensus across all nodes.
In this system, we use three important values.
'n' is the total number of nodes in our system.
'W', the write quorum, is the minimum number of nodes that need to agree for a write to be considered successful.
'r', the read quorum, is the minimum number of nodes that need to agree for a read to be valid.
For strong consistency, a general guideline is to have w + r > n. It ensures that any read overlaps with any write and returns the most recent value.
For example, imagine a system with 3 nodes (n=3). If we configure w to 2, that means we need two out of three nodes to acknowledge a write request before it is deemed successful. If one of the nodes went down, the write operations could still continue. This idea works similarly for reads. If r is set to 2, the read operation would query 2 nodes and return the most recent data between the two.

Corporate boards have a new mandate: Help companies build geopolitical resilience
On Point
Brought to you by Liz Hilton Segel, chief client officer and managing partner, global industry practices, & Homayoun Hatami, managing partner, global client capabilities
•
Rerouting supply chains with AI. Multinational companies with complex supply chains now have a new tool at their disposal: generative AI. In the face of ongoing geopolitical tensions and uneven economic recovery from the COVID-19 pandemic, companies are using generative AI to identify vulnerabilities and help them quickly connect with suppliers. Some countries now have regulations requiring monitoring of environmental and human rights issues, which can be identified through technology. While only about 14% of supply chain professionals currently use AI, a new survey shows that more than 90% plan to start. [FT]
•
Managing geopolitical risks. Recent McKinsey Global Institute research shows that global flows of data, exports, and talent remain strong; however, the world is also becoming more fragmented. While senior leaders know it’s important to navigate geopolitical risks, the role of corporate boards in doing so is not always clear. McKinsey senior partner Chris Leech and colleagues suggest steps directors can take to help them deal with larger-scale forces such as macroeconomic shocks and climate change. Reassessing a board’s composition to include diverse domain expertise and relevant experience and holding meetings in a range of markets to deepen a board’s understanding are first steps.
•
Building boards for today’s global order. A board composed of subject matter experts with clearly defined roles (for example, through a set of key committees) can help companies build resilience in supply chains and other areas. Dashboards that regularly review relevant markets can help boards gain clarity on critical developments and their effects. Learn how boards can adapt their monitoring and mitigation strategies for the fast-changing geopolitical landscape.
