When will autonomous vehicles finally rule the road? When the price is right.
McKinsey&Company
Ghost in the machine In the news • Call it like it is. Should self-driving cars be marked as such? Arguments against labeling include the idea that if self-driving cars are easily identifiable, human drivers may react to them differently, throwing off the machine learning intended to respond to people’s normal driving habits. But on balance, labeling wins the debate, says one science and technology policy professor. The rules of the road need to evolve to account for the driving habits of robots, and that will start with being able to spot them. [MIT] • The road less traveled. It’s going to take more than self-driving cars to make autonomous driving a normal part of daily life. Roads also need to be modernized—for example, with digital systems that alert cars when pedestrians are near (and the other way around). One start-up is partnering with state and local governments to create a network of tech-enhanced “smart roads” in the US. On those roads, drivers of some cars equipped with hands-free driving systems don’t even have to watch where they’re going. [Axios] Despite their additional costs, robo-taxis could become price competitive with private, manually operated cars and even transit services in the coming decade. On McKinsey.com • Data driven. To understand how the autonomous-vehicle (AV) market could evolve, McKinsey developed a Mobility Market Model using data from about 2,800 cities and rural regions in more than 110 countries. While costs for AV services are very high today, they could decline significantly in the next ten years as the technology advances, McKinsey analysis finds. The cost per mile for a personal robo-taxi trip could amount to just 40 to 50% of a driver-based ride-hailing trip. • The road ahead. Automakers, suppliers, transit agencies, and tech players all want to know how much autonomous mobility will cost and the size of the opportunity. Making these calculations is complex and depends on many factors, including the population density of cities, vehicle type, and operational scale. Read on to learn how the costs of shared AV services could progress over the coming decade, along with what may speed up consumer adoption of robo-taxis. — Edited by Katy McLaughlin Be driven Was this forwarded to you?

AN ARTICLE A DAY, PICKED BY OUR EDITORS
Anxiety is an emotion all of us experience, but there’s a lot of confusion and misinformation about what it really is. Having a healthy outlook on anxiety means viewing it as a part of being human, not as a problem to solve, says Dr. Tracy Dennis-Tiwary in a new Author Talks interview. Get perspective on how this mindset shift can help us be more innovative and creative, and how anxiety can be a source of strength and resilience. Be sure to check it out. — Joyce Yoo, digital editor, New York

A leader’s guide to new and improved talent strategies
Leading Off
Share this email
ESSENTIALS FOR LEADERS AND THOSE THEY LEAD
At about this time in 2021, when Leading Off last covered talent management, the great exodus of employees from the workplace had just begun. A year later, as we settle into the new normal, it’s time to check in on how leaders are handling talent challenges—which continue to be severe. Are you able to keep people from leaving? Are you addressing the underlying workplace issues? This week, let’s explore the current state of play in the talent game and how some emerging trends may reshape it in the coming years. AN IDEA 
Adopt an entirely new set of tactics The so-called Great Resignation could last for several more years as people continue to reevaluate their personal and professional lives after the pandemic. Unlike previous cycles of downturn and recovery, this attrition is marked by many people leaving their employers without another job in hand or quitting the workforce entirely. Some who quit return but do so only if they’re assured of flexibility, adequate pay, and a sustainable workload. Employees want to be valued as whole people, not just workers; they expect employers to provide a strong company culture, a sense of community, caring coworkers, and career mobility—and may not stick around if those needs aren’t met. Leaders may need to revamp their talent strategies altogether, rethinking compensation and benefits and factoring in other employee needs such as mental and physical well-being, psychological safety, and scheduling and staffing flexibility.
A BIG NUMBER 780,000 That’s the number of additional tech specialists Germany will need by 2026 to meet the economy’s demand. Companies worldwide face an acute shortfall of tech talent at a time when being technologically strong is critical to success in a digital world. Traditional hiring or outsourcing won’t cut it; leaders must tackle the issue by adopting a multifaceted approach, such as setting up a focused team to manage the whole candidate experience, providing advanced planning and development tools, and creating an environment where developers and engineers are treated as innovators and active participants in the business.
A QUOTE “We regularly confuse people with roles and confuse talent with broad skill pools. In many organizations, roles today bear no resemblance to what they’d look like if you were designing them from scratch.” That’s McKinsey’s Bill Schaninger in this podcast on the importance of getting the right people into the roles most likely to deliver value. Only a few roles are truly critical to the organization, and “everything else probably sits in a skill pool, a clustering of common skills deployed in different ways,” says Schaninger. Deriving maximum value from those skills may mean reshuffling talent, whether that involves hiring new employees or moving incumbents into jobs that are better aligned with their skills and aspirations. To fill roles so that they yield tangible returns, first evaluate the candidates’ fit, advises McKinsey’s Bryan Hancock. “Figure out exactly what you need new folks to do and assess against it,” he says. “If the incumbent is great, great. If not, you’re going to realize it in six months or 18 months or 24 months. A better fit drives better returns.”
A SPOTLIGHT INTERVIEW 
Companies tend to overlook in-house employees for promotions or filling open roles, often because of a perceived skills gap. But matching internal workers with available jobs offers organizations “the ability to move talent dynamically,” says McKinsey’s Emily Field in this podcast on creating an internal talent marketplace. A digitally enabled talent marketplace offers visibility into your organization’s labor supply, identifying people’s skills and willingness to take on new opportunities. Rather than trying to fit candidates into rigidly defined roles, leaders can use AI-generated data to find alternative or adjacent skills that are a close match. “From a societal-impact perspective, employers are helping their employees create the skills to thrive in a new part of the organization, instead of the alternative—watching them exit,” says Field.
MANIC MONDAY 
Make that Wednesday for most companies that offer a hybrid work schedule. Wednesday is the day workers are most likely to be in the office—if they go into the office at all. As companies try to woo employees back to their cubicles, they’re experimenting with ever-more-imaginative perks. At last count, these included live concerts, beer and wine tastings, pop-up snack stands, free food and T-shirts, and terrarium-making classes. A few companies have begun to offer commuting stipends to help ease the financial burden of trekking back to the office. And to supervise it all, some organizations are hiring chief happiness officers, mindfulness leaders, and vice presidents of employee success. Lead with talent. — Edited by Rama Ramaswami, a senior editor in McKinsey’s Stamford office

Heading back to the office? Three practices matter most to hybrid workers.
McKinsey&Company
Building a better hybrid office In the news • Rethinking the return. As employees hesitate to return to daily commuting, bosses are relaxing the rules about going back to the office. In April, the CEO of a large US bank said that about 40% of the company’s 270,000 employees would be allowed to work partly from the office and partly from home. Wall Street and Silicon Valley employers alike are revisiting ambitious plans that asked workers to be on-site a certain number of days. In a tight labor market, managers worry that punishing workers who remain at home may push them to quit. [Bloomberg] • Taking attendance. Millions of workers have gotten used to the autonomy and flexibility that go hand-in-hand with working from home. But as companies renew calls for employees to return to the office, executives face a key decision: Should they keep tabs on worker attendance or trust that employees are doing their jobs? Although new software tools enable employers to collect data on when and how often workers are going to the office, experts say that using “bossware” (that is, surveillance software) can erode corporate culture. [NYT] Nearly 60% of our survey respondents working in hybrid models ranked work–life support in the top inclusion practices they want their organizations to improve. On McKinsey.com • Hooked on hybrid. Employees appear to be hooked on hybrid work, according to McKinsey’s new research. In a survey of more than 1,300 workers spanning three continents, 75% said that they prefer a hybrid working model. Of that group, more than two out of three said that they would likely look for jobs elsewhere if asked to return to the office full time. Companies that don’t offer opportunities for hybrid work risk losing employees, including younger workers, who without a hybrid work option are nearly 60% more likely than their older peers to leave. • What workers want. Inclusive workplaces increasingly enable companies to attract and retain top talent, McKinsey research reveals. Employees who work in an inclusive setting are seven times likelier to say that their companies are high-performing and are 47% likelier to stay. To learn what matters most to employees, McKinsey asked which inclusion practices workers want their companies to work hardest to improve. Every demographic said that three critical practices matter most in building an inclusive, hybrid workplace. — Edited by Belinda Yu Get hybrid right Was this forwarded to you? Sign up here.

AN ARTICLE A DAY, PICKED BY OUR EDITORS
There is still much uncertainty surrounding the long-term effects of the war in Ukraine and the humanitarian crisis it has unleashed. In the short term, the war will complicate efforts to address climate change and the path to a net-zero economy. But if leaders take bold steps to boost energy-efficiency measures and adopt renewable-energy alternatives, this could be a positive turning point that accelerates progress in the long term. Don’t miss a new article that delves into what is needed for an orderly net-zero transition and what the future could hold. — Joyce Yoo, digital editor, New York 
The net-zero transition in the wake of the war in Ukraine: A detour, a derailment, or a different path? The invasion of Ukraine will, at least initially, complicate the transition path to a net-zero economy, but this tragic development could still prove to be a turning point in accelerating progress in the medium run.

Revenue growth by design: Your design department has business impact
The Shortlist
Share this email
Our best ideas, quick and curated | may 20, 2022 View in browser
This week, we look at what makes a successful business design department (and no, it’s not a pricey coffee machine in a fancy loft office). Plus, worker power is on the rise—or is it? And read about our new Global Energy Perspective 2022. 
Embedding design. Building a modern, successful design department is one of four actions a CEO can take to drive revenue growth at twice the rate of industry peers, McKinsey research shows. But what makes for a successful design department and how do companies avoid siloing it off from the rest of the business? To answer these questions, we looked at data from three million—yes, million—designers and design leaders in more than 100,000 design departments, combined with their organizations’ financial performance. We also surveyed more than 250 business and design leaders and held interviews with 30 senior executives in leading design-driven companies. Part of the team. In our new report, Redesigning the design department, we found that organizational integration was the hallmark of successful design departments. Instead of trying to “protect” designers within the design studio, leading chief design officers work with the C-suite to embed designers into cross-functional teams and give them the training and the tools needed to collaborate and lead successfully. This practice was true across almost all industries that we reviewed: both B2C and B2B. We also found three core integration themes: Cross-functional organizational structure. The best design teams had designers organized with dotted lines to their design departments (for knowledge sharing, tools, and community) but hard lines to their project team. All project team members—including designers, marketeers, financiers, and project managers—had a common set of financial incentives linked to time, cost, revenue, and customer satisfaction. And this included putting designers into cross-functional teams to improve the company itself, not just the products and services. Nurturing design talent. Leading design departments developed their designers through training, secondments, and mentorship in business and technology to better integrate them into the company. They also recognized that designers put purpose at the top of their list of reasons to seek new employment. The best design departments recognize this and empower their designers with projects where they can make tangible improvements to products, to the organization itself, and to wider society. Tools and infrastructure. For both physical and digital design, it was important to have collaboration tools that enabled designers to deliver their best work. Particularly, the digital domain we analyzed saw the introduction of more than 30 well-regarded new tools in the past four years. However, the research did not suggest that there was “one tool to rule them all,” but rather that “tool vitality” mattered. In addition, the rate at which design departments pilot, scale, and retire tools was a positive indicator of department health. And we believe this will be even more important as new generative, AI-based tools become more prevalent. Big picture. Organizations that get these three themes right see benefits not only in financial performance but also through having happier employees, greater innovation, and stronger environmental, social, and governance impact.
OFF THE CHARTS Want not, waste not? In 2020, Californians bought and wore 510,000 to 530,000 tons of clothing. Some 500,000 of those tons will eventually enter landfills—covering an area about 3.5 times the size of Los Angeles. More than 97 percent of the textiles used in this clothing are virgin materials, and less than 1 percent of the materials worn today will resurface in clothing manufactured tomorrow. The key to changing those numbers lies in circularity—specifically, in building a closed loop for recycling materials back into the manufacturing process, reducing both waste and reliance on natural resources.

PODCAST Is worker power on the rise? The answer is: it depends. Knowledge workers with skills that are easily portable across employers and geographic locations have power. Folks who are in jobs that require them to be on-site or in person, such as service-related jobs, are still grappling with local labor markets with very different dynamics. That said, as the Great Attrition persists, employer–employee dynamics appear to be changing. In this installment of the McKinsey Talks Talent podcast, two McKinsey talent experts discuss who actually benefits in today’s labor market—and how durably.

What’s changed about consumer behavior? Plenty—but much has stayed the same, too.
McKinsey&Company
Keeping up with consumers In the news • Bracing for sluggish sales. Demand for everything from toothpaste to soft drinks surged during the COVID-19 pandemic, even as US consumer goods giants raised prices to cover increases in the cost of labor, materials, and shipping. But now, top industry leaders are bracing for a slowdown in sales: analysts say that US consumer confidence may decline as high inflation cuts into spending power. Some companies, anticipating that consumers will tighten their purse strings, are debuting more affordable products and streamlining packaging. [Reuters] • Party like it’s 2019. Many Americans are returning to the shopping, entertainment, and travel habits they had before the COVID-19 crisis began. Although it once seemed that people would be stockpiling cleaning products forever, year-to-date sales of hand sanitizer have dipped more than 50% from their levels a year ago. The spending habits and lifestyles of Americans changed dramatically in March, when many schools stopped enforcing mask mandates and COVID-19 got less press coverage. [WSJ] Only 38% of survey respondents said they feel optimistic, down from 44% in October 2021. On McKinsey.com • No penny pinchers here. US consumers are embracing new ways of doing things as they go back to their familiar old behavior, McKinsey’s latest Consumer Pulse survey shows. Americans are spending more online, but they’re also returning to brick-and-mortar stores. They’re leaving their homes again but still spending on home improvement. Although inflation is at its highest level in 40 years, US consumers continued to open their wallets in early 2022. In March, US consumers spent 18% more than they did two years earlier, and credit card debt is rising again. • Battle of the brands. Americans are still switching to different brands and retailers in 2022, and about 90% of them intend to keep shopping around, McKinsey analysis reveals. A top motivation for brand-swapping is concern over high prices. In light of inflation, US consumers are now looking for value, and when they decide what to buy, brand purpose is less of a factor now than it was in 2020. Explore seven charts (from our survey) that highlight how US consumers are feeling, shopping, and spending—and what companies can do to satisfy their quickly changing expectations. — Edited by Belinda Yu See what’s changed for consumers Was this forwarded to you?

AN ARTICLE A DAY, PICKED BY OUR EDITORS

Don’t miss this conversation with the director-general of the World Trade Organization, Ngozi Okonjo-Iweala, who happens to be the first woman and first African in the role. From the ways the pandemic affected global trade to vaccine access in emerging economies and what an equitable recovery might look like, this lively conversation covers a lot of ground. Check it out, and subscribe to the McKinsey Global Institute’s Forward Thinking podcast if you like what you hear. — Torea Frey, managing editor, Seattle 
Forward Thinking on trade, vaccines, and sustainable and inclusive growth with WTO Director-General Ngozi Okonjo-Iweala The World Trade Organization’s first African—and first female—director-general reflects on the impact of the pandemic on trade, the imperative to ensure that vaccines reach Africa and other emerging economies, and how to ensure that trade is more inclusive in the years ahead. Address challenges
Quote of the Day “[An] important part of a successful digital transformation is how you define what ‘good’ really looks like here. Because there isn’t a point in time when digital transformation is done. It’s much more about, ‘How am I building a real muscle for the organization to continue getting better and better as I go on?’” —Kate Smaje, McKinsey senior partner, on why digital transformation should be front and center on the CEO agenda in a recent episode of The McKinsey Podcast

Space curious? Get in line.
McKinsey&Company
Space jams In the news • Hot springs and rocket launches. One Japanese region known for its natural hot springs is working to establish itself as an Asian spaceport. A US rocket manufacturer chose the area’s airport, which is being revamped to accommodate rocket launches, for its first satellite launch from Asia, and a US start-up has announced plans to land its crewless space plane there in 2026. Dozens of proposed spaceports across Asia are hoping for space business and the potential of additional revenue from new investments, space tourists, and space talent. [FT] • Fly them to the moon. The global space tourism market is soaring, with offerings including helium balloon trips up to 100,000 feet, astronaut boot camps, and zero-gravity flight simulations. But while the space travel market could be worth an estimated $3 billion by 2030, the first space hotels have yet to be built (although plans exist). And for most would-be space travelers, the prices remain out of this world. [NYT] Twenty nations, spanning four continents—Africa, Asia, Europe, and North America—have estimated civil-space spending of more than $100 million each a year. On McKinsey.com • More space. The US has the most space activity and the most space funding in the world; the American civil-space budget is about twice that of the next closest nation and represents more than 40% of the global total. But other countries are getting into the space game: around 70—most recently, Costa Rica, the Philippines, and Rwanda—have established national space agencies to date. New regional agencies include the Latin American and Caribbean Space Agency and the Asia–Pacific Space Cooperation Organization. • Globally galactic. More national and private agencies are sure to come, which means that the potential for increased space activity is extremely high and will require greater international collaboration. Current challenges—including the growing amount of space debris—will intensify, and new ones will surface. McKinsey has compiled a high-level overview of the global space landscape, including an interactive map detailing countries’ space activity, budgets, and number of space start-ups and active satellites. — Edited by Justine Jablonska Look up Was this forwarded to you?
