• Delivery by drone may be landing on a porch near you

  Share this email Share this email on LinkedIn   Share this email on Twitter   Share this email on Facebook   ON DRONE DELIVERIES Drone deliveries are developing, but challenges remain Robin Riedel You might be startled if you looked out your window and saw a drone hovering near your door, about to release a package onto your front steps. But such a sight could become more common as companies ramp up the use of drones in making deliveries. In 2021, there were close to half a million commercial-drone-delivery flights globally, and that number grew to about 875,000 in 2022 (an average of almost 2,400 drone deliveries per day). In 2023, we expect drone deliveries to exceed the one-million mark.   The benefits of such trips go beyond quickly providing a lunch order or birthday gift. Delivery drones fly at an average speed of 30 to 60 miles per hour, which allows them to rush critical supplies to people in disaster zones and remote, inaccessible areas. In crowded urban areas, deliveries via air routes could ease traffic congestion. The environmental advantages are also clear: delivering a one-pound burrito with a drone that usually weighs between five to 25 pounds generates far less emissions than using an average car, which weighs about 4,100 pounds. If the scale-up continues, as we expect, there could be many winners. Some skeptics might question our current growth projections, however, since companies thus far have made limited progress on their long-standing plans to increase drone delivery flights. So what recent developments are encouraging more optimism? And what challenges remain? First, the positives. Investor interest in drone delivery opportunities is at an all-time high: funding reached $101 million in 2022 but has hit $770 million in just the first half of 2023. The technology has also advanced considerably; for example, drones can now accurately navigate during subpar conditions, such as rainstorms. In another major shift, the time-consuming process of defining regulations has recently borne fruit. As of March 2023, at least seven major regulatory bodies had issued rules about commercial-drone operations, focusing on aircraft certification, operator certification, airspace and operating rules, and infrastructure. (Aerial platform drones—those used for inspections or other types of observation—have lower certification requirements, so they are already in more widespread use.) In the United States, the Federal Aviation Administration’s Beyond Visual Line-of-Sight Aviation Rulemaking Committee released a report in March 2022 that included some recommendations, still under review, that could facilitate multiple aspects of delivery drone operations, including pilot certification and repair and maintenance. “In 2023, we expect drone deliveries to exceed the one-million mark.” Public opinion of drone deliveries has also warmed. In a McKinsey survey of over 4,600 consumers, 56 percent of respondents said that they would opt for drone delivery if it was faster than the alternatives and did not cost more. Further, in a recent survey of drone industry executives, respondents reported that they expected 60 percent of their end customers to return after the first use of drone services. Now let’s look at the challenges ahead. Despite the uptick in consumer acceptance, many people still worry that delivery drones may generate too much noise, invade privacy, or simply interfere with their enjoyment of a scenic sunset by crisscrossing the sky. Publicizing the benefits of delivery drones, such as lower emissions, may win over some new adherents. Consumers may also become more supportive if they see how longer-range drones can increase equity by improving people’s access to critical products and services. For example, there is a start-up that delivers vaccines and medicines to over 2,000 hospitals in Ghana, Rwanda, and the United States. Once consumers become more aware of such services, they may become more tolerant of a drone’s buzzing. Beyond winning over consumers, the drone industry must address some remaining regulatory and technological barriers. Currently, many countries allow operators to control only a single drone, and some also require visual observers for some parts of the flight. The resulting high labor costs make it challenging to scale flights. On the technology side, the industry could benefit from further improvements in batteries—to support longer flights—and in the detect-and-avoid systems that help drones navigate crowded areas. Of course, drones have uses that extend far beyond delivery, and these applications are also advancing, maybe even at a faster rate. Many companies, for example, including a large furniture retailer, use drones in warehouses to take photographs of inventory, which they then analyze using artificial intelligence. Others monitor remote assets using aerial surveillance drones that can check for damage, eliminating the need for costly on-site visits. Outside the corporate sphere, drones have been incorporated into aerial firefighting, agricultural seeding, and wildlife management. Eventually, passenger drones may play a big role in transportation. Even though it’s still early in the game, the possibilities are endless within this exciting sector.

• Join me on Thursday for how to Master Software Remediation using New Relic Vulnerability Management

  Hi MD,

  
  

  It's Liam Hurrell, Manager of Customer Training at New Relic University, here. Do you feel like your regular security assessments come up with huge list of potential vulnerabilities that lack enough context to know which are real and what to fix first? Do you want to enhance your team's awareness and get actionable insights on how to mitigate all these threats? If so, you can register for the free online workshop that I'll be hosting on Thursday 7th September at 2 PM BST/ 3 PM CEST.
  
  Applications today often consist of thousands of components, each with the potential to carry critical security vulnerabilities. Mitigating threats is no longer the sole responsibility of security teams, with a new shared responsibility between DevOps and Security teams (DevSecOps) to have a security mindset across the development pipeline. In this practical session, you’ll find out about how New Relic vulnerability management lets you see and fix security issues in one connected experience with zero configuration, open integrations, automatic risk prioritization, and alerting on newly discovered vulnerabilities across all teams (Dev, Ops, Sec).

  
  

  You can find the full agenda on the registration page here. While we recommend attending the hands-on workshop live, you can also register to receive the recording.
  
  Hope to see you then, 

  
  

  Liam Hurrell

  Manager, Customer Training

• If you’re feeling burned out, you’re not alone. How widespread is employee burnout?

  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 Bad burnout In the news • Worrying about work. People may experience the greatest job-related stress when they’re not even at work. Thoughts about work can often intrude during moments of relaxation, when nothing else is competing for time or attention. But ruminating about work issues is unproductive and associated with family conflict and poor-quality sleep. One strategy to prevent these thoughts is to track hours spent worrying in a journal and consider them unpaid overtime. Changing clothes can also help set a clear end to a workday. [NYT] • Burned out and unemployed. It’s not just full-time workers who are getting burned out: people looking for work are also on edge. Many may spend countless hours applying to jobs, networking, and interviewing—only to be rejected and end up having to start over. One careers expert advises job hunters to set aside a specific time every day to create job alerts, reply to emails, and submit applications. Establishing a routine can help to ease the mental burden of a lengthy job search, the expert adds. [BBC] Workers experiencing burnout symptoms are six times more likely than those who aren’t to say that they intend to leave their employers in the next three to six months. On McKinsey.com • A worldwide challenge. When there’s a chronic imbalance between the demands of a job and the resources available to tackle them, workers may become depleted, cynical, and emotionally distant. Employee burnout is a widespread challenge. Between February and April 2022, McKinsey conducted a global survey of nearly 15,000 workers and 1,000 HR decision makers in 15 countries. On average, one in four employees surveyed reported experiencing symptoms of burnout, McKinsey partner Erica Coe and coauthors found. • Toxic work environments. In all 15 countries surveyed by McKinsey, toxic workplace behavior was the biggest predictor of burnout symptoms and intent to leave—by a large margin. Employees who report experiencing high levels of toxic behavior at work are almost eight times more likely than those who don’t to experience burnout symptoms, according to the 2022 survey.

• CEOs get one chance to make a good first impression. What does it take to transition well?

  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 Starting strong as a CEO In the news • Business as a battlefield. Some CEOs leading through tumultuous times are undergoing leadership development exercises that mimic military training, with companies paying anywhere from $10,000 to $100,000 for the experience. Corporate interest in military exercises shows how leaders are trying to reassert power and control, one workplace strategist says. The CEO of a company whose members participated in a pit stop simulation says that the experience helped his colleagues communicate more and share their weaknesses with one another. [NYT] • A team effort. Even superstar CEOs can’t do it all alone: behind every great leader is a great team. To build a strong leadership team, a successful leader needs to consider which leadership team style is best for the company, its mission, and the CEO’s personality. For instance, the CEO could foster competition or cooperation among team members. By aligning on the leadership team’s purpose, outlining team structures, and deciding the right approach to dissent and decision making, executives can mold individuals into one team. [Fast Company] “Outsider CEOs have an advantage in bringing a fresh eye and they tend to move more boldly and quickly to challenge orthodoxies.” On McKinsey.com • A challenging transition. The CEO role is unique. As the face of the company and the ultimate integrator, the chief executive’s position comes with new responsibilities and stakeholders. So it’s no wonder that 90% of CEOs say they wish they had managed the transition differently, according to McKinsey senior partners Kurt Strovink and Carolyn Dewar. Dewar coleads McKinsey’s CEO excellence work and is a coauthor of the book CEO Excellence: The Six Mindsets That Distinguish the Best Leaders from the Rest. • Success from the start. In writing CEO Excellence, the McKinsey authors sat down with about 70 of the world’s best CEOs. More than two-thirds said that the role wasn’t what they had expected it to be, Dewar shares. Yet there is a profound opportunity for both personal and institutional renewal. Transitioning to a new CEO can “unfreeze” organizations, reaffirm what’s valuable about the culture, and innovate for the next chapter.

We need to consider key characteristics of different database types, including popular options for each, and compare their use cases. Types of Software Engineers and Their Typically Required Skills In this overview, we'll explore three key types of Software engineers: Front-End Engineer: Specializes in creating user interfaces using HTML, CSS, and JavaScript. They focus on ensuring that apps are visually appealing and user-friendly. Back-End Engineer: Works on the server-side of web applications, managing data, business logic, and server infrastructure to ensure functionality, performance, and security. Full-Stack Engineer: A versatile expert who combines the roles of Front-End and Back-End engineers, handling UI design, server-side tasks, databases, APIs, and ensuring seamless application integration. They cover the entire development spectrum from start to finish. Over to you: Which type of software engineer resonates most with your interests and career aspirations? How does a Password Manager such as 1Password or Lastpass work? How does it keep our passwords safe? The diagram below shows how a typical password manager works. A password manager generates and stores passwords for us. We can use it via application, browser extension, or command line. Not only does a password manager store passwords for individuals but also it supports password management for teams in small businesses and big enterprises. Let’s go through the steps. Step 1: When we sign up for a password manager, we enter our email address and set up an account password. The password manager generates a secret key for us. The 3 fields are used to generate MUK (Master Unlock Key) and SRP-X using the 2SKD algorithm. MUK is used to decrypt vaults that store our passwords. Note that the secret key is stored locally, and will not be sent to the password manager’s server side. Step 2: The MUK generated in Step 1 is used to generate the encrypted MP key of the primary keyset. Steps 3-5: The MP key is then used to generate a private key, which can be used to generate AES keys in other keysets. The private key is also used to generate the vault key. Vault stores a collection of items for us on the server side. The items can be passwords notes etc. Step 6: The vault key is used to encrypt the items in the vault. Because of the complex process, the password manager has no way to know the encrypted passwords. We only need to remember one account password, and the password manager will remember the rest.

  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 generative AI opportunity In the news • Burger bots. The next time you’re at a drive-through speaker, the voice that’s taking your order may not actually belong to a human. Throughout the US, hundreds of fast-food places are using chatbots to receive orders as they grapple with ongoing worker shortages—made worse by the COVID-19 pandemic. AI-enabled ordering systems are not intended to oust employees from their jobs but rather to compensate for a historic lack of employees, according to fast-food workers, restaurant managers, and industry experts. [WSJ] • AI’s effect on jobs. Clerical work is likely the sector to be most affected by generative AI, according to a new UN report. That can have greater repercussions for female employees, particularly in advanced economies, where a disproportionate number of women hold these types of jobs. For the majority of roles, however, generative AI will probably allow a part of workers’ responsibilities to be automated, rather than eliminating the need for those positions. [Reuters] “Between now and 2030 in the US, about a third of paid activities people do today potentially could be automated using generative AI and all kinds of technologies.” On McKinsey.com • Big benefits. Generative AI technologies have some potential to benefit every business and function, say McKinsey Global Institute partner Michael Chui and senior partner and global leader of QuantumBlack, AI by McKinsey Alex Singla on a recent edition of The McKinsey Podcast. Generative AI’s possible business applications are wide-ranging. Leaders can use generative AI to write software, create personalized or brand marketing, and design products. All told, generative AI could add $2 trillion to $4 trillion each year across the global economy. • Workers with superpowers. Generative AI could give employees “superpowers” through automating parts of their jobs. By shedding some routine tasks, knowledge workers should be able to spend more time thinking, solving problems, and coaching colleagues. About a third of the activities that organizations pay people to do today could be automated between now and 2030 in the US.

In this issue, we will explore common replication strategies and key factors in choosing a suitable strategy. Throughout this issue, we will use databases as examples. Note that they are not the only data sources where replication can be useful. Replication could apply to cache servers like Redis and even application servers for critical in-memory data structures. So, what is replication? It's a method of copying data from one place to another. We use it to make sure that our data is available when and where we need it. It helps us improve the durability and availability of our data, reduce latency, and increase bandwidth and throughput. But choosing a replication strategy isn't always straightforward. There are different strategies, each with its own benefits and drawbacks. Some strategies might be better for certain use cases, while others might be better for different situations. In this issue, we'll explore three main replication strategies: Leader-Follower, Multi-Leader, and Leaderless. We'll break down what each strategy is, how it works, and where it's most effectively used. We’ll discuss the trade-offs involved in each, so we can make informed decisions about the best strategy for our systems. So, let's dive in and start exploring the world of data replication together. A Primer on Replication Let’s examine at a high level why replication is needed. As we mentioned earlier, we’ll use databases as examples throughout, but this applies to other types of data sources as well. Improving Durability Improving durability is perhaps the single most important reason for data replication. When a single database server fails, it could lead to catastrophic data loss and downtime. If the data is replicated to other database servers, the data is preserved even if one server goes down. Some replication strategies, like asynchronous replication, may still result in a small amount of data loss, but overall durability is greatly improved. You might be wondering: Isn’t regular data backup sufficient for durability? Backups can certainly recover data after disasters like hardware failure. But backups alone have limitations for durability. Backups are periodic, so some data loss is likely between backup cycles. Restoring from backups is also slow and results in downtime. Replication to standby servers provides additional durability by eliminating (or greatly reducing) data loss windows and allowing faster failover. Backups and replication together provide both data recovery and minimized downtime. Improving Availability Another critical reason to replicate data is to improve overall system availability and resilience. When one database server goes offline or gets overwhelmed, keeping applications running smoothly can be challenging. Simply redirecting traffic to a new server is non-trivial. The new node needs to already have a nearly identical copy of the data to take over quickly. And switching databases behind-the-scenes while maintaining continuous uptime for applications and users requires careful failover orchestration. Replication enables seamless failover by keeping standby servers ready with up-to-date data copies. Applications can redirect traffic to replicas when issues occur with minimal downtime. Well-designed systems automatically handle redirection and failure recovery via monitoring, load balancing, and replication configurations. Of course, replication has its own overhead costs and complexities. But without replication, a single server outage could mean prolonged downtime. Replication maintains availability despite outages. Increasing Throughput Replicating data across multiple database instances also increases total system throughput and scalability by spreading load across nodes. With a single database server, there is a maximum threshold of concurrent reads and writes it can handle before performance degrades. By replicating to multiple servers, application requests can be distributed across replicas. More replicas means more capacity to handle load in parallel. This sharding of requests distributes workload. It allows the overall system to sustain much higher throughput compared to a single server. Additional replicas can be added to scale out capacity even further as needed. The replication itself has associated overheads that can become bottlenecks if not managed properly. Factors like inter-node network bandwidth, replication lag, and write coordination should be monitored. But proper replication configurations allow horizontally scaling out read and write capacity. This enables massive aggregated throughput and workload scalability far beyond a single server's limits. Reducing Latency Data replication can also improve latency by locating data closer to users. For example, replicating a database to multiple geographic regions brings data copies closer to local users. This reduces the physical network distance that data has to travel compared to a single centralized database location. Shorter network distance means lower transmission latency. So users' read and write requests see faster response times when routed to a nearby replicated instance versus one further away. Multi-region replication enables localized processing that avoids the high latencies of cross-country or intercontinental network routes. Keep in mind that distributing copies across regions introduces complexities like replica synchronization, consistency, and conflict resolution with concurrent multi-site updates. Solutions like consistency models, conflict resolution logic, and replication protocols help manage this complexity. When applicable, multi-region replication provides major latency improvements for geo-distributed users and workloads by localizing processing. The lower latency also improves user experience and productivity.

  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 Building a digital New York Times In the news • New leadership. On Wednesday, CNN said it has hired Mark Thompson, former CEO of the New York Times Company, to serve as its new chair and CEO. Thompson, whose tenure begins on October 9, led the New York Times through a period of rapid expansion, adding millions of digital subscribers and bolstering the company’s financial performance. Prior to joining the Times, Thompson began his career as a trainee at the BBC, where he was eventually appointed director general in 2004. [NYT] • Cable news chief. Longtime news veteran Mark Thompson, the incoming CEO of CNN, will start his new role prior to the US presidential election in 2024, an event that typically attracts millions of TV viewers for cable news companies. Thompson will run the strategy, operations, and business units of CNN, according to its parent company. He will also step into the role of the news network’s editor in chief, supervising all of its editorial content. One of Thompson’s objectives will be to grow CNN’s digital offerings while minding its cable TV channels. [WSJ] “Many become leaders because they’re great at one thing. In this digital moment, you need people who can be good at one thing and can then learn something else.” On McKinsey.com • An outsider’s perspective. From 2012 to 2020, Mark Thompson, the New York Times Company’s former president and CEO, oversaw the institution’s dramatic transformation. Under his watch, the Times’s digital readership jumped from half a million to nearly 5.7 million subscribers. Yet in 2019, when Thompson announced his ambition to reach 10 million subscribers by 2025, many were skeptical, he said to McKinsey senior partner Yael Taqqu and McKinsey Global Publishing’s Raju Narisetti. Thompson’s outsider status had the advantage of a “cold eye,” he explained. • Building on past success. During an earlier period when the company faced economic difficulties, the Times launched daily lifestyle sections, with topics such as culture and entertainment, food, and dining. That “started making the case for a bigger proposition,” which eventually led to the debut of news products such as NYT Cooking. “It was about trying to get a conveyor belt of improvements and ideas,” Thompson said.
