6.6 billion mobile users. Are you prepared to monitor that?
As of 2022, there are more than 6.6 billion smartphone users in the world, roughly equivalent to 83.4% of the world’s population.
Smartphones have revolutionized the way companies advertise, communicate, and most importantly, interact with their consumers by way of mobile applications. And those consumers prefer using apps on iOS or Android devices. But it isn’t always easy to replicate a desired mobile application on another platform.
Developers need to keep up with the times and in our blog post "Cross-platform support with React Native and mobile monitoring" you can learn how to monitor your iOs and Android apps built with React Native.

COOs are making a comeback
Harmony Internal - McKinsey
Share this email
Edited by Stephanie d’Arc Taylor
Editor, Southern CaliforniaBehind every great CEO, there’s a great COO. After a few years out of vogue—in 2018, only 32 percent of Fortune 500 companies had one—the COO is back in a big, bold way. Nearly half of Fortune 500 companies in the energy and financial sectors have COOs in 2022. And with CEOs increasingly serving as the external face of companies, COOs now more than ever are the internal ballast for organizations, especially as they face unprecedented operational disruptions. In a new article, McKinsey managing partner Darryl Piasecki reports on conversations with several current and former COOs on the skills they view as critical to the position. The old proficiencies, he writes, are no longer enough. In order to face the uncertainties of 2023 and beyond, COOs need to evolve their skillsets to prioritize resilience and agility.

Excited for end-of-year shopping? US consumers are feeling good about the holidays.
On Point
Edited by Belinda Yu
Editor, Atlanta• Happy holidays. As the holiday-shopping season draws nearer, US retailers face some big challenges. They’ve endured severe supply chain problems over the past few years, and now, consumer sentiment about the economy is historically low. Still, Americans are more enthusiastic about the holidays than they’ve been in years, find McKinsey senior partner Kelsey Robinson and colleagues. According to our latest Consumer Pulse Survey of more than 1,000 US consumers, 55% say they’re excited about holiday shopping in 2022, up from 34% last year.

Decarbonising India: Charting a pathway for sustainable growth
Harmony Internal - McKinsey
Share this email
Edited by Stephanie d’Arc Taylor
Editor, Southern CaliforniaLet’s get the bad news out of the way: India is the world’s third-largest carbon emitter (though far behind the United States and China). The good news is that there’s plenty of room—and ambition—for green growth. In fact, India has the potential to contribute nearly half the carbon space needed globally to achieve a 1.5°C pathway. But change needs to come soon. The subcontinent is looking toward a period of rapid development: over three-quarters of the India of 2050 is yet to be built. Policies must be implemented in the next decade to ensure this infrastructure is developed more sustainably. The planet isn’t the only potential beneficiary of these policies: India’s transition from thermal power to renewables, to cite just one example, stands to significantly decrease the average cost of power supply, save the country a cumulative $1.7 trillion in the foreign exchange, and position India as a world leader in green technologies. For more actions to accelerate India’s decarbonization, check out a new report by Rajat Gupta, Shirish Sankhe, and their coauthors.

A leader’s guide to spotting and preparing for change
Harmony Internal - McKinsey
Share this email
Edited by Rama Ramaswami
Senior Editor, New York
The business environment has always been subject to shifting cycles—typically, periods of turbulence are followed by eras of relative stability and progress. But today’s profound economic and political upheavals are directly challenging long-held beliefs about how the world works, according to a new report from experts at the McKinsey Global Institute. What the coming era will look like is uncertain, but leaders should watch for major changes across five domains: the world order, technology platforms, demographic forces, resource and energy systems, and capitalization. Each domain presents difficult questions, such as how to make energy systems resilient, feasible, and affordable, or where to find the next productivity engine to propel growth. “If we are indeed in the early throes of a seismic shift—as the evidence appears to suggest—leaders must both prepare for the possibility of a new era and position themselves to shape it,” the report’s authors suggest.
That’s McKinsey senior partner Steve Van Kuiken on the power of new technologies to enable faster and more far-reaching innovations. The sheer magnitude of the changes—in computing power, bandwidth, and analytical sophistication—now shaping the tech market may overwhelm organizations if they don’t take steps to adapt in the next three to five years. For example, leaders need to prepare for a shift from periodic to perpetual learning, which delivers varying skills across the entire organization. “In practice, that will mean orienting employee development around delivering skills,” Van Kuiken says. “This requires breaking down a capability into its smallest sets of composite skills.” Leaders could start by asking themselves what skills their organizations’ data managers and advanced users of analytics need to develop, and the levels of learning required for them to do so.
“Most business school courses don’t have a segment on prepared leadership,” says Simmons University President Lynn Perry Wooten in this conversation with McKinsey on how leaders can stay ahead of the next crisis. Prepared leadership is what Wooten calls the fourth “p,” a new pillar that complements the traditional lynchpins of profits, planet, and people. Many leaders tend to manage crises as individual occurrences and often don’t have a formula or recipe to follow the next time a disaster occurs. Developing a “resiliency muscle” can help to create such a recipe. One way for leaders to strengthen their resiliency is to scan the outside world regularly to make sense of events; another is to “ask how they are going to get out of the crisis and what their theories of change are,” says Wooten. “That might include learning about scenario planning, dialogue, or case studies. When we can combine growth and learning with a plan of action, this is that resiliency muscle.”
It might just take a sorcerer’s spell to lure reluctant workers back to office buildings. As remote work becomes widespread, what to do with the vast expanses of empty office space will become a pressing problem. One solution may be to make offices into “places of magic,” in the view of McKinsey senior partners Rob Palter, Aditya Sanghvi, and colleagues. “Many questions are swirling in the minds of office occupiers about how work should be done in the next normal, how to think about talent, what the role of the workplace should be, and how much real estate companies need,” they say. “A food-and-beverage ecosystem of restaurants, lounges, cafeterias, pantries, all digitally accessible, has to emerge.”
Lead by preparing.

Perplexed by digital twins? Learn what they can do for organizations.
On Point
Edited by Belinda Yu
Editor, Atlanta• Defining a digital twin. Many people use the term “digital twin” loosely, say McKinsey partners Kimberly Borden and Anna Herlt in a recent episode of the McKinsey Talks Operations podcast. A digital twin is a digital representation of a physical object. Crucially, digital twins are linked with real data sources and can be updated in real time. Digital twins can bring tremendous value to companies. For instance, companies that use digital twins can reduce development time, improve product quality, and rapidly test and redesign products.

Calm leadership through crisis, the new age of industrial technology, and a conversation with CNBC’s Julia Boorstin
Readers & Leaders
Share this email
THIS MONTH'S PAGE-TURNERS ON BUSINESS AND BEYOND
Crisis can often trigger reactive behavior, and for good reason: when we’re scared, we stick to what we know. In this edition of Readers & Leaders, take a first glance at the upcoming book Deliberate Calm, a guide to navigating an increasingly complex—and sometimes frightening—world. The right solutions require leaders to practice self-awareness and adaptive decision making, say authors Jacqueline Brassey, Aaron De Smet, and Michiel Kruyt. This week, The Titanium Economy, McKinsey’s new book on the burgeoning industrial sector, hit bookshelves. Earlier this month, CNBC’s Julia Boorstin explained why cultural hurdles have made woman leaders inherently exceptional. Catch more conversations from Author Talks, as well as new reads from this month’s bestselling business books, prepared exclusively for McKinsey by NPD BookScan. Itching for more?

AUTHOR TALKS
When circumstances get complicated, having a practice of calm and consciousness can help empower leaders to face challenges proactively, not reactively. Combining cognitive science, consciousness exercises, and more than 50 years of collective boardroom experience, McKinsey senior knowledge expert Jacqueline Brassey, senior partner Aaron De Smet, and former partner Michiel Kruyt offer Deliberate Calm: How to Learn and Lead in a Volatile World. In an upcoming edition of Author Talks, the authors explain how people can confront external uncertainty by first connecting with their inner self.
“Whether there is a particular thing that matters to you or you want to change a particular behavior or you want to learn something new or you want to engage in something difficult that you never did before . . . it’s about having a growth mindset, self-compassion, and kindness. I practice those. One of the things that I personally do is watch my sleep. I work on reframing that and on exercise, mindfulness, and meditation, as well. Be kind. You will make mistakes, and that is an important part of deliberate calm, as well. You have to make mistakes to learn.”
—Jacqueline Brassey, McKinsey senior knowledge expert, in an upcoming edition of Author Talks. Preorder Deliberate Calm: How to Learn and Lead in a Volatile World (Harper Collins, November 2022).IT BEARS REPEATING
“When looking at the risks of recession, the fact that we’re facing record inflation, and the uncertainty in the business world right now, I think about the challenges that women have always faced and the way they’ve coped with them: having to do more with less, having to be scrappy, and having to bring in perspectives from across organizations. The approaches that women have either been forced to take or have had the impulse to take are going to be incredibly valuable right now in navigating these uncertain times.”
—Julia Boorstin, CNBC senior media and tech correspondent, creator of the Disruptor 50 franchise, and author of When Women Lead: What They Achieve, Why They Succeed, and How We Can Learn from Them (Simon & Schuster, October 2022), in a recent edition of Author Talks.OUT NOW

“Titanium economy companies have been going about doing what they’re actually good at, which is delivering great returns for their shareholders, taking care of customers, taking care of employees, doing the job around communities, and cleaning the environment—but they have never really found an opportunity to pull it all together and tell the story.” —Asutosh Padhi, managing partner for McKinsey in North America, in a recent edition of Author Talks.IN CASE YOU MISSED IT

What will happen when the era of globalized business ends? “I think that we’ve reached the end of pure economic globalization. Countries are going to have to decide if they share each other’s values.

How to avoid panicked decision making by remaining focused on the future: “In the current global scenario, it’s really important that we shift away from short-termism to a long-term focus.

How Europe’s CEOs can push through swirling economic currents
The Shortlist
Share this email
Edited by Barbara Tierney
Senior Editor, New YorkThis week, how Europe’s business leaders can place smart bets on the future. Plus, e-scooters get a leg up with investors, and Tech for Execs on the importance of creating a cloud “sandbox” for developers.
Continental drift. Inflation is rising, business signs are weakening, war is continuing, winter is coming: Europe at the tail end of 2022 is facing headwinds that make the future more difficult to imagine than usual. An energy crisis, born of the Ukraine conflict, threatens to derail the net-zero transition. Semiconductor shortages and labor shortages remain. The latest McKinsey scenarios, undertaken in partnership with Oxford Economics, suggest that European GDP will most likely contract overall in 2023.
Growth mindset. Today’s European business leaders are accustomed to crisis, given the era’s myriad monetary and political tests (not to mention a global pandemic). In an article on this defining moment, senior partners Hemant Ahlawat, Homayoun Hatami, María del Mar Martinez and their colleagues write that to flourish, European organizations have to understand that playing defense in a volatile environment isn’t enough. Businesses must anticipate and respond to crises and opportunities, placing smart bets on the future—even a murky one.
Betting on future growth. European business leaders face a deeply unsettled economy, with potentially existential risks for those companies with weaknesses in their balance sheets and business models. We see this in the technology arena, where Europe is vulnerable across all sectors on growth and competitiveness, hindering long-term resilience and jeopardizing future growth and strategic autonomy. Reacting swiftly during a downturn can position companies to grow more over the long term. Given seismic events within its own continent, a robust Europe is needed now more than ever.
A recent McKinsey Health Institute report on employee burnout finds that one out of four employees around the globe experiences toxic behavior in the workplace. Some suffer through it in silence; some lash out; some just leave. In a recent interview with McKinsey, Tessa West, New York University psychology professor and author of Jerks at Work: Toxic Coworkers and What to Do About Them, discusses the cognitive, emotional, and physiological effects that workplace toxicity can have on individuals and their coworkers, and how stress can “cascade” through the organizational levels. She also talks about strategies for identifying and tackling toxic behaviors and related stress on personal and systemic levels.
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.
Why it’s important. Companies are looking to increase the clock speed of their organizations. How quickly developers can create and deploy code is a critical component in enabling the business’s overall speed.
In the past, developers would develop directly on their laptops. While that approach can work in isolated cases with a small number of teams, it does not scale. Problems include nonstandardized tooling, underpowered laptops unable to process and run big data, and bug-ridden code that worked locally on a developer’s laptop but not when deployed more broadly.
What you can do about it. Developing an effective self-service sandbox capability can be daunting for some engineers, given its complexity. Talk to your chief information officer about internal developer platforms (IDPs), a capability that simplifies the process of provisioning infrastructure, security, and tooling through a user-friendly interface. And ask whether the platform engineering team can provide a set of standardized common tools that all sandboxes can take advantage of, such as asset repositories, testing tools, or even standardized monitoring tools.

Why is corporate growth so difficult to achieve?
On Point
Edited by Alexandra Mondalek
Associate Editor, New York• The ‘growth code.’ A study of 5,000 of the world’s largest public companies over the past 15 years reveals that creating a business that has healthy, sustainable growth is difficult to achieve. From 2009 to 2019, only one in eight of those organizations grew more than 10% per year. To help companies buck these trends, McKinsey partners Chris Bradley and Rebecca Doherty and their coauthors outline ten rules for achieving growth. For example, periodic pruning of slow-growing areas of a business and reinvesting the proceeds into new areas can jump-start growth.

Quiet quitting and performance management
Harmony Internal - McKinsey

Edited by Sarah Skinner
Digital Editor, New YorkPerformance management is always tricky—but this year, managers are staring down a particularly daunting set of challenges. Worn-out workers. Weakening work relationships. Quiet quitting, compounding two-plus years of record regular-old quitting. Inflation. And for some, maybe that means “you won’t have the difficult conversation because the thought of losing another employee is devastating,” as senior partner Bill Schaninger puts it. If year-end has you worried, don’t miss this new episode of the McKinsey Talks Talent podcast, where Bill speaks with Bryan Hancock, global lead of McKinsey’s talent work, about the trends that have managers on edge—and how to handle them.

Hi there,
We’re asking for your participation once again. As 2022 goes into 2023, we'll have a host of new API developments (no pun intended), and we want to know what things matter above others, so we can share it in our annual State of Software Quality | API report.
In the past, we've surfaced things like:
- What API consumers look for most in documentation
- The biggest API challenges that teams are hoping to solve
- The adoption of API specifications and design approaches
Why Should I Participate?Besides contributing to your industry (and earning early access to the report when it comes out), we’re trying something new.
By completing this 10 minute survey survey, you will be given the opportunity to direct a donation, given by SmartBear, to your choice of one of the following charities: Make a Wish, AnitaB.org, or Clearloop.
