Intersection is back! We’re diving into DEI, every other Thursday
Intersection
Active allyship Edited by Justine Jablonska
(she/her/hers)
Editor, New YorkWelcome to Intersection, where we dive into diversity, equity, and inclusion in and for the workplace. In this issue, we talk about why allyship matters, especially for the “onlys” in your organization.
SPOTLIGHT
More organizations in the US are adopting various allyship efforts—such as inclusive-language practices—to advance a culture of inclusion. Nevertheless, LGBTQ+ employees persistently report experiencing microaggressions and feeling isolated at work, McKinsey research shows. Additionally, recent movements across the US to limit the rights of the LGBTQ+ population, and especially those of transgender individuals, highlight that the issues facing the LGBTQ+ community are as pressing as ever. To help organizations understand the people they’re employing—and how to support them—we’ve paired data and insights from the survey responses of more than 4,000 LGBTQ+ individuals across US workplaces. Among the most striking findings: allyship is critical in ensuring that LGBTQ+ employees feel they are included, supported, and not alone.
DATA DROP
Being an 'only' means being the only person like yourself in a given situation, usually because of, but not limited to, your gender, sexual orientation, race, or ethnicity. More than half of gay, lesbian, and nonbinary employees report strong feelings of being an “only” at work.
MAKE IT RIGHT
Want to help? You can start by including your pronouns in all introductions and adding them to your videoconference screen and other group communication tools if you feel comfortable doing this, says McKinsey associate Danny Hurvitz, who is part of the author team for this issue’s Spotlight article. “By doing so, you’re providing others with the opportunity to share their pronouns in a safer space,” says Hurvitz. “As a nonbinary colleague who utilizes the gender-neutral pronouns they/them/theirs, I always lead with my pronouns in introductions. More often than not, I’m alone in doing so, which further emphasizes I’m an ‘only’ in the room. By sharing your pronouns, you can help create a more inclusive space for transgender and gender-nonconforming [TGNC] colleagues to feel comfortable sharing theirs—and also inclusively support your colleagues.”
BOOK TALK
This issue’s book recommendation comes from McKinsey associate Danny Hurvitz, who recently finished and recommends Eric Cervini’s The Deviant’s War: The Homosexual vs. the United States of America, a finalist for the 2021 Pulitzer Prize in history. The book details the life and work of Frank Kameny, a pioneer of the queer-rights movement and, as Hurvitz told me, “a major force of believing there’s pride—not shame—in being LGBTQ+.” The book includes recently released FBI reports, firsthand accounts from early activists, and numerous personal documents to tell the story of a rising political movement. Hurvitz notes that the book takes a “fantastically nuanced and critical view of important queer organizations” and is “an important read to better understand queer political history.”

A leader’s guide to postpandemic innovation strategies
Harmony Internal - McKinsey
Creative thinking Edited by Rama Ramaswami
Senior Editor, New YorkIt is the best of times and the worst of times for innovation. You’d think that remote work would stifle creative collaboration, but quite the opposite is true—thanks to virtual networks and bold adoption of technology, organizations have innovated and digitized at record speed, in some cases accelerating the creation of digital offerings by a stunning seven to ten years. At the same time, many leaders are preoccupied with the immediate fallout of the pandemic and are not confident that they have the resources and commitment to innovate for the long term. But it’s possible to combine speed and stability to create new approaches to innovation. This week, let’s explore some strategies that work even in uncertain environments.
Innovation isn’t about playing it safe, but many companies have been doing just that since the COVID-19 crisis began. McKinsey research shows that organizations are deprioritizing innovation in favor of shoring up their core business, sticking with known opportunities, and waiting until “there is more clarity.” But they may be losing out on unconventional ways to grow. The pandemic set in motion far-reaching disruptions such as radical shifts in consumer behavior, changes to sales models, and the advent of unexpected competitors. For example, medical-device manufacturers suddenly had to contend with home appliance makers that began to produce ventilators. Such shifts represent major long-term opportunities for organizations, and savvy leaders know that historically, companies that invest in innovation during a crisis outperform their peers during the recovery. Not sure how to jumpstart your innovation plan? This framework may help.
That’s the number of practices that contribute to high performance in innovation. In a multiyear, global study of organizations conducted in 2012, McKinsey found that high performers in product, process, or business-model innovation had eight attributes and behaviors in common—and managed them better than their peers would have. For example, most companies have high aspirations, but high-performing innovators combine aspirations with meeting quantitative financial-growth objectives. And most companies want to discover new things, but the best innovators collect and synthesize insights to identify problems and potential solutions. Follow-up research that we conducted in 2019 shows that mastering five or more of the eight innovation essentials correlates with strong financial results.
That’s Jack Welch, the legendary CEO of GE, in an interview with the New York Times in 1985. Underlying Welch’s sweeping—and controversial—transformation of GE over several decades was a clear recognition that organizations must anticipate and keep pace with change—or be overwhelmed by it. “Change before you have to,” is a familiar Welch maxim. But even successful, well-managed companies can be blindsided by change and fail to make the strategic and cultural innovations needed to cope with it; in this Wall Street Journal article, a research scientist and former innovation leader at IBM explains why.
Innovation doesn’t have to be flashy to have a significant impact. Engineering and construction management company Bechtel focuses on innovation in everyday activities such as training, teamwork, and technology adoption to achieve its net-zero targets, according to Shaun Kenny, Bechtel’s global infrastructure leader. In this discussion with McKinsey’s Tony Hansen, Kenny describes how his company innovates to meet energy transition challenges. “For our industry, the key questions are ‘what’ and ‘how’—that is, ‘What types of major projects are being delivered and developed?’ and ‘How will we deliver them?’” he says. Innovations in various focus areas help address those questions: for example, improving cycle time for installations increases productivity, and mobile workstations and base camps in the field enable professionals to visualize what they are building. “Sustainability is about bringing innovation to the ways we work today to enable the needs of future generations,” Kenny says.
If you want to innovate fast but without too much risk, “intrapreneurship”—acting as an entrepreneur within an established company—may be just the thing for you. Most large corporations have unused ideas that enterprising employees can turn into an innovation, which may even result in a new business or subsidiary for the company. A “skunk works” project is a variant of this. Derived from a secret program to develop a spy plane, the term now refers to any unit within an organization that works on confidential or advanced projects, with little or no interference from the parent company. The advantage of these models is that even if your venture fails, you have a safety net.

Air travel is back—but can airlines win over consumers before the ‘honeymoon phase’ ends?
On Point
Four key areas to reboot travel Edited by Kanika Punwani
Senior Copy Editor, Southern California• Changing consumer loyalties. People are increasingly returning to air travel, with domestic and international business travel increasing by double digits between February and April 2022. But despite steady satisfaction ratings, negative sentiment among travelers is on the rise, reveal McKinsey senior partners Kevin Neher, Jules Seeley, and colleagues. Recent flight cancellations and staffing shortages could result in a wave of customer dissatisfaction, leaving loyalty up for grabs.
• Flight shaming. As airline leaders look to the future, addressing sustainability concerns could become a priority. Younger customers are particularly concerned about their carbon footprint. Senior partner Tomas Nauclér and colleagues find that 32% of travelers age 18 to 24 report experiencing “flygskam,” or shame of flying—and nearly 50% say that they would be willing to pay for carbon-neutral flights. See four key areas airlines can focus on to regain their footing in the latest edition of the McKinsey Quarterly Five Fifty.
