Is your resource allocation strategy stuck in neutral?
Share this email
Brought to you by Alex Panas, global leader of industries, & Axel Karlsson, global leader of functional practices and growth platforms
Welcome to the latest edition of McKinsey Classics. We hope you find our perspectives useful. Let us know what you think at Alex_Panas@McKinsey.com and Axel_Karlsson@McKinsey.com.

June 2025
To celebrate the 60th birthday of McKinsey Quarterly, the McKinsey Classics newsletter is dedicating a full year to enduring Quarterly articles that were ahead of their time. Also, check out our latest special-themed birthday issue of the Quarterly, on the future of growth, available now.
Companies face a rapidly changing environment spurred by disruptive technologies, volatile markets, and shifting demographics. To keep pace, they need an equally dynamic resource allocation strategy. But when it comes to investing in capital, talent, and other scarce resources, some business leaders will stick to what’s been working and leave well enough alone. That’s a risky move. As the authors of this McKinsey Quarterly classic observe, if a company’s resource allocation strategy is stuck in the past, soon the company may be as well.
To overcome this inertia, business leaders can take four critical steps. First, develop a target portfolio to inform your allocation agenda. Second, seed and nurture promising investments while also pruning resources from less promising ventures and harvesting businesses that no longer fit the portfolio. Third, adopt simple rules to help remove politics and bias from decision-making. And fourth, implement systematic processes to strengthen allocation activities, such as granular planning and regular investment reviews.
For more on how companies can shift their resource allocation strategies into high gear, read our 2012 Quarterly classic “How to put your money where your strategy is.”—Edited by Drew Holzfeind, editor, Chicago

AI Vs Machine Learning Vs Deep Learning Vs Generative AI
Artificial Intelligence (AI)
It is the overarching field focused on creating machines or systems that can perform tasks typically requiring human intelligence, such as reasoning, learning, problem-solving, and language understanding. AI consists of various subfields, including ML, NLP, Robotics, and Computer VisionMachine Learning (ML)
It is a subset of AI that focuses on developing algorithms that enable computers to learn from and make decisions based on data.Instead of being explicitly programmed for every task, ML systems improve their performance as they are exposed to more data. Common applications include spam detection, recommendation systems, and predictive analytics.
Deep Learning
It is a specialized subset of ML that utilizes artificial neural networks with multiple layers to model complex patterns in data.Neural networks are computational models inspired by the human brain’s network of neurons. Deep neural networks can automatically discover representations needed for future detection. Use cases include image and speech recognition, NLP, and autonomous vehicles.
Generative AI
It refers to AI systems capable of generating new content, such as text, images, music, or code, that resembles the data they were trained on. They rely on the Transformer Architecture.Notable generative AI models include GPT for text generation and DALL-E for image creation.
Over to you: What else will you add to understand these concepts better?

How SQL Query Executes In A Database?
STEP 1
The query string first reaches the Transport Subsystem of the database. This subsystem manages the connection with the client. Also, it performs authentication and authorization checks, and if everything looks fine, it lets the query go to the next step.
STEP 2
The query now reaches the Query Processor subsystem, which has two parts: Query Parser and Query Optimizer.
The Query Parser breaks down the query into sub-parts (such as SELECT, FROM, WHERE). It checks for any syntax errors and creates a parse tree.
Then, the Query Optimizer goes through the parse tree, checks for semantic errors (for example, if the “users” table exists or not), and finds out the most efficient way to execute the query.
The output of this step is the execution plan.
STEP 3
The execution plan goes to the Execution Engine. This plan is made up of all the steps needed to execute the query.
The Execution Engine takes this plan and coordinates the execution of each step by calling the Storage Engine. It also collects the results from each step and returns a combined or unified response to the upper layer.
STEP 4
The Execution Engine sends low-level read and write requests to the Storage Engine based on the execution plan.
This is handled by the various components of the Storage Engine, such as the transaction manager (for transaction management), lock manager (acquires necessary locks), buffer manager (checks if data pages are in memory), and recovery manager (for rollback or recovery).
Over to you: What else will you add to understand the execution of an SQL Query?Top 20 AI Agent Concepts You Should Know
Agent: An autonomous entity that perceives, reasons, and acts in an environment to achieve goals.
Environment: The surrounding context or sandbox in which the agent operates and interacts.
Perception: The process of interpreting sensory or environmental data to build situational awareness.
State: The agent’s current internal condition or representation of the world.
Memory: Storage of recent or historical information for continuity and learning.
Large Language Models: Foundation models powering language understanding and generation.
Reflex Agent: A simple type of agent that makes decisions based on predefined “condition-action” rules.
Knowledge Base: Structured or unstructured data repository used by agents to inform decisions.
CoT (Chain of Thought): A reasoning method where agents articulate intermediate steps for complex tasks.
ReACT: A framework that combines step-by-step reasoning with direct environmental actions.
Tools: APIs or external systems that agents use to augment their capabilities.
Action: Any task or behavior executed by the agent as a result of its reasoning.
Planning: Devising a sequence of actions to reach a specific goal.
Orchestration: Coordinating multiple steps, tools, or agents to fulfill a task pipeline.
Handoffs: The transfer of responsibilities or tasks between different agents.
Multi-Agent System: A framework where multiple agents operate and collaborate in the same environment.
Swarm: Emergent intelligent behavior from many agents following local rules without central control.
Agent Debate: A mechanism where agents argue opposing views to refine or improve outcomes.
Evaluation: Measuring the effectiveness or success of an agent’s actions and outcomes.
Learning Loop: The cycle where agents improve performance by continuously learning from feedback or outcomes.
Over to you: Which other AI agent concept will you add to the list?
How RabbitMQ Works?
RabbitMQ is a message broker that enables applications to communicate by sending and receiving messages through queues. It helps decouple services, improve scalability, and handle asynchronous processing efficiently.
Here’s how it works:
A producer (usually an application or service) sends messages to the RabbitMQ broker, which manages message routing and delivery.
Within the broker, messages are sent to an exchange, which determines how they should be routed based on the type of exchange: Direct, Topic, or Fanout.
Bindings connect exchanges to queues using a binding key, which defines the rules for routing messages (for example, exact match or pattern-based)
Direct exchanges route messages to queues that match the routing key exactly, as shown with Queue 1.
Topic exchanges use patterns to route messages to matching queues.
Fanout exchanges broadcast messages to all bound queues, regardless of routing keys.
Finally, messages are pulled from the queues by a consumer, which processes them and can pass the results to other systems.
Over to you: What else will you add to the RabbitMQ process flow?

Quality over quantity. Among technological innovations in production and distribution, the rise of user-generated content, and the proliferation of premium content, today’s audiences have a dizzying array of media to consume. For media companies and other industry stakeholders, the result is a high-stakes competition for consumer attention. Media brands, creators, and marketers have long gauged consumer attention by the quantity of time spent with their content or the size of their audience. But this overlooks a more important issue: the quality of time spent, explain McKinsey Senior Partners Kabir Ahuja and Marc Brodherson and their coauthors.
•
Three kinds of consumers. Consumption and monetization vary widely across 20 major mediums in the attention economy, and differing levels of attention are a key reason for that variability. Backed by a survey of 7,000 global consumers, McKinsey has developed an “attention equation” that reveals the full drivers of attention value. Attention doesn’t simply equal the amount of time spent; it equals the amount of valuable time spent, which is based on consumers’ focus and intent. Learn about the three most valuable types of media consumers, including the “content lovers” who are today’s superfans, and visit our McKinsey at Cannes Lions 2025 page for more about our work there.

A Guide to Database Transactions: From ACID to Concurrency Control
A Guide to Database Transactions: From ACID to Concurrency Control
Forwarded this email? Subscribe here for moreLatest articles
If you’re not a subscriber, here’s what you missed this month.
Database Schema Design Simplified: Normalization vs Denormalization
SQL vs NoSQL: Choosing the Right Database for An Application
To receive all the full articles and support ByteByteGo, consider subscribing:
Modern applications don’t operate in a vacuum. Every time a ride is booked, an item is purchased, or a balance is updated, the backend juggles multiple operations (reads, writes, validations) often across different tables or services. These operations must either succeed together or fail as a unit.
That’s where transactions step in.
A database transaction wraps a series of actions into an all-or-nothing unit. Either the entire thing commits and becomes visible to the world, or none of it does. In other words, the goal is to have no half-finished orders, no inconsistent account balances, and no phantom bookings.
However, maintaining correctness gets harder when concurrency enters the picture.
This is because transactions don’t run in isolation. Real systems deal with dozens, hundreds, or thousands of simultaneous users. And every one of them expects their operation to be successful. Behind the scenes, the database has to balance isolation, performance, and consistency without grinding the system to a halt.
This balancing act isn’t trivial. Here are a few cases:
One transaction might read data that another is about to update.
Two users might try to reserve the same inventory slot.
A background job might lock a record moments before a customer clicks "Confirm."
Such scenarios can result in conflicts, race conditions, and deadlocks that stall the system entirely.
In this article, we break down the key building blocks that make transactional systems reliable in the face of concurrency. We will start with the fundamentals: what a transaction is, and why the ACID properties matter. We will then dig deeper into the mechanics of concurrency control (pessimistic and optimistic) and understand the trade-offs related to them.
What is a Database Transaction?...

Problem solving: Adopt design thinking
Email 3 of 7
How to solve problems with design thinking
In the previous session, we looked at the critical first task of defining the problem through steps, mindsets, languages, and frameworks. In this third email, we’ll look at why design thinking—a human-centered, iterative process—can be especially helpful in solving problems.
Defining the problem and analyzing data are commonly known tasks in problem solving, but how does design factor into the equation? Companies that strategically tap into design thinking—a systemic, intuitive, customer-focused problem-solving approach that can be used to create maximum impact—are better able to respond to shifting landscapes and generate improved performance, write McKinsey’s Michael Birshan and coauthors. The proof is in the pudding: from 2013 to 2018, companies that embraced the business value of design had TSR that were 56 percentage points higher than those of their industry peers.
Uniquely challenging times call for unique approaches, and design thinking offers a much-needed fresh perspective for leaders navigating volatility.

Banishing middle manager stereotypes. Historically, middle managers have often been maligned. But they are essential to an organization’s success, explain McKinsey Partners Bryan Hancock and Emily Field, with McKinsey alumnus Bill Schaninger, in an episode of McKinsey Talks Talent. McKinsey research shows that managers directly influence employee performance, satisfaction, and overall well-being, says Field, who coauthored the book Power to the Middle: Why Managers Hold the Keys to the Future of Work with Hancock and Schaninger.
