Want gender parity in your workforce? Retain and advance women early in their careers.
McKinsey&Company
Why diversity in tech matters .Let’s get technical In the news • Digital divide. Men are 21% more likely to have internet access than women across the globe. And in the world’s least developed countries, that number rises to 52%. Closing this colossal digital gender divide—exacerbated by the COVID-19 pandemic—will require not just internet access and equipment but also access to training and education. The ongoing digital acceleration can amplify opportunities for women to get the access and training they need—especially for the new technologies that will comprise the majority of future jobs. [WEF] • #DressForSTEM. Pi Day is celebrated around the world on March 14. That’s also the day of “Dress for STEM,” an annual event celebrating women in STEM (science, technology, engineering, and math). This year marked the seventh such celebration, with participants around the world wearing purple to honor women STEM pioneers as well as past, present, and future generations of women scientists. The event is also a reminder of the stark underrepresentation of women in many STEM fields: although they make up almost half of the labor force, in 2022, women hold just 27% of all STEM careers. [WaPo] Most of the leaders we interviewed acknowledged that their companies have uneven early-promotions processes that perpetuate the broken rung on the career ladder for women in technical roles. On McKinsey.com • Off the bat. Long-term career success is crucially dependent on early promotions. And that’s exactly where McKinsey research consistently shows that women lose ground. Across all industries and roles, women hold 48% of entry-level roles and 41% of first-level manager positions. But in crucial technical fields like engineering and product management, where women hold just 34% of entry-level roles to start, just about one-fourth (26%) hold first-level manager positions. Diversity is critical in these technical roles to help debias the technologies that are such an intrinsic part of modern life. • Broken rung. To better understand the barriers that women in technical roles face around early promotions, McKinsey spoke with early-tenure individuals who work in technical roles, as well as their leaders and supervisors. We found that most companies are aware of the broken rung on this career ladder. But the majority of the people we interviewed said that their companies are not monitoring women’s advancement in these roles and lack a systematic approach to that advancement. See three enablers that can help organizations make career development easier and fairer for women in technical roles. — Edited by Justine Jablonska Repair the ladder Was this forwarded to you?

According to Tom Vozzo, CEO of Homeboy Industries, there are two Americas: “the America that most of us live in, and then the America that the poor and the marginalized—the demonized people—live in.” In a new episode of Author Talks, Vozzo talks about his journey from corporate executive to leading the world’s largest gang rehabilitation and reentry program. Hear what he has to say—and explore how we can apply these life lessons to helping disenfranchised people move forward in life. — Joyce Yoo, digital editor, New York Author Talks: A tale of two Americas Tom Vozzo spent 26 years as a top executive before pivoting to a nonprofit that rehabilitates gang members.

What can 3-D printing do for you? A lot, it turns out.
McKinsey&Company
Take advantage of 3-D printing .The promise of 3-D printing In the news • Rush into print. More companies are using additive manufacturing, aka 3-D printing, to make parts and products that consumers can use. The technology dangles the promise of solving supply chain and sustainability challenges, while making it easier to personalize products (think 3-D-printed dentures or implants) and lower the cost of innovation. One CEO of a 3-D printing company believes the technology will bear much fruit in the coming decade. [Fast Company] • Home, sweet printed home. 3-D-printed house frames require far less labor and a simplified supply chain, making them a promising solution for affordable housing. A handful of companies and NGOs are already using the technology, but it may take five to ten years before it becomes commonplace. Don’t expect all home-building costs to plummet: windows, plumbing, HVAC, and electrical systems will still require custom labor. [PBS] Manufacturers must build the skills, processes, and business models needed to make additive manufacturing shine in the industrial world. On McKinsey.com • Decades of progress. Additive manufacturing (AM) has been a long time coming: the first commercial machines were developed 40 years ago. By 2020, the sector had grown into a €13.4 billion industry with a 22% annual growth rate and 200-plus companies developing new hardware, software, and materials. Parts can now be made faster, from a wider range of materials (including high-strength aluminum alloys and medical-grade polymers), and with more sophisticated, AI-supported systems. • Dimensional improvements. Faster machines, better materials, and smarter software will help make 3-D printing a realistic solution for many real-world applications. One standout sector already demonstrates the industry’s potential: the medical-devices industry, where AM technologies are now applied routinely to produce prosthetics and implants. As AM works out issues that concern manufacturers—including slow printing speeds and expensive materials—more industries are likely to follow suit. — Edited by Katy McLaughlin Read the fine print Was this forwarded to you?

But in the wake of the pandemic, unmanageable workloads and increased home responsibilities are taking a toll, and many are leaving the workforce altogether.

Whose fault is it anyway? Debugging distributed systems.
It’s frustrating trying to figure out performance issues throughout your distributed system. Nobody wants to spend hours digging through your logs, only to later find out that it was an external service causing the issue.
Distributed tracing does this by showing you the path a software request follows as it travels through your system, making troubleshooting easier—and a lot faster.
If you haven’t already, enabling distributed tracing is as simple as installing the New Relic One agent for your preferred language.
Follow the instructions to instantly install and configure your agent so you can spend less time debugging, and more time building.
Happy Monitoring,

The employer–employee relationship is changing. Which workers have more power?
McKinsey&Company
How expectations are changing .Power to the people In the news • Rethinking the 9-to-5. A majority of independent workers in the US—70%—now believe independent work to be more secure than a traditional, full-time job, according to a 2021 survey. The COVID-19 crisis has led workers to rethink their work lives. At the same time, expanded unemployment assistance, a wave of early retirements, and a shortage of childcare options have limited the pool of available workers. Since workers have more power to hold out for the jobs they want, employers should consider offering employees greater autonomy and flexibility. [HBR] • Fatter paychecks. The US labor market is continuing to heat up, with wages increasing briskly in January through March as employers offer bigger paychecks to lure a limited number of workers. Wages climbed by 5.6% from the prior year, leaping over the 2 to 3% annual gains of the 2010s. Meanwhile, the unemployment rate slipped to 3.6% in March from 3.8% the previous month. The most dramatic pay increases have been in leisure and hospitality, where workers in nonmanagerial roles have seen wages shoot up nearly 15% over the past year. [NYT] “The worst thing employers can do is come out with a mandate, whether it’s the five-day return to how it was or the dressed-up four-day mandate.” On McKinsey.com • The power to walk. In this tight labor market, workers are flexing the power to walk away from jobs they don’t want—and most of them haven’t come back, say talent experts Bryan Hancock and Bill Schaninger in an episode of McKinsey Talks Talent. Of the folks who have quit their jobs, only a third are returning to full-time employment, McKinsey research shows. “Maybe that’s the real power. They aren’t going back. And the employers have to decide whether or not they like the new terms,” says Schaninger. • Pockets of power. “We are seeing some increased worker power in some pockets,” says Hancock. How much power depends upon the type of employment. Knowledge workers who work remotely can access a nationwide labor market, but folks who serve customers or handle equipment often face very local labor markets. In addition, some gig economy workers are finding that although work platforms are evolving, they haven’t met all of their needs.

Amidst persistent economic uncertainty and increased digitization, today’s finance leaders face many new challenges and a growing scope of responsibilities. “This time of change represents an opportunity for the CFO to have disproportionate impact, becoming almost a copilot of the business with the CEO,” says McKinsey partner Ankur Agrawal in a new article that explores how the role is transforming and expanding.

Can this collaboration be saved? Here's a guide for leaders.
Leading Off
Joint effort .Share this email ESSENTIALS FOR LEADERS AND THOSE THEY LEAD Collaborative work has become all consuming. The time that most people spend on meetings, emails, messaging, and phone calls accounts for 85 percent or more of their workweeks, and since the COVID-19 pandemic began, collaboration demands have only increased. Collaboration—whether it is between individuals or among teams or business units—can take an organization from good to great, but when done without care, it can derail projects and exhaust the participants. This week, let’s explore ways to collaborate better, as well as some habits of collaboration that may undermine performance. AN IDEA Be strategic and intentional in identifying collaborators “Why am I in this meeting?” We’ve all asked ourselves this question when we’ve felt that we had little or nothing to contribute to a meeting’s agenda. Diverse perspectives are indeed valuable, but you should resist the temptation to corral every available expert to staff your next project. Be selective when picking collaborators, looking for complementary skills and depth of knowledge that can be applied directly to the problem at hand. “This intentionality helps ensure that inefficient collaboration does not stymie innovation and productivity,” says McKinsey’s Stephanie Spangler. “Being intentional about when to collaborate and what projects you say ‘yes’ to also could help avoid the strain of collaboration overload.” To make the most of your collaborators’ expertise, provide immediate feedback on their contributions rather than waiting until the end of the project to debrief the team. A BIG NUMBER 30 That’s the percentage of extra time it takes to complete tasks if you’re doing them in parallel—and for heavy multitaskers, it may take even longer than that. Switching back and forth among tasks damages productivity: our brains are wired to work best when focusing on one thing at a time. The same principle applies to collaborating with people. Research shows that individuals are most creative when focusing on one activity most of the day and collaborating with just one other person. Fragmented and frantic days packed with activities, meetings, and group discussions can hamper creativity. It may not be possible to eliminate these distractions entirely, but consider redesigning working norms to assign and manage collaborative work more thoughtfully. A QUOTE “It is possible to have too much of a good thing.” That’s the ancient Greek storyteller Aesop warning us of the dangers of too much sunshine in his fable “The marriage of the sun.” In our own era, the dangers of too much collaboration are all too apparent. Virtual-interaction technology gives us the ability to connect constantly, but, ironically, the onslaught of meetings, emails, and texts often doesn’t lead to productive collaboration. To achieve high-quality, focused interactions, leaders can focus on three broad categories of collaboration: decision making, creative solutions and coordination, and information sharing. Getting these right will require corrective action, such as clarifying who makes decisions (ideally, just one person), empowering employees to come up with innovative solutions, and—you guessed it—reducing the number of meetings and their attendees. Treat meeting time as a precious commodity and take it as seriously as you would financial capital. A SPOTLIGHT INTERVIEW If you suffer from collaboration overload, take heart: it is possible to collaborate effectively. So much more effectively, in fact, that you can claw back 18 to 24 percent of your time, says Rob Cross, Edward A. Madden Professor of Global Leadership at Babson College, in this McKinsey Author Talks interview. But he warns that there isn’t a “single, seductive principle” to follow: “This is more of a brawl than a ballet.” That means setting norms around collaboration, whether it involves allocating time strategically, energizing and engaging people, or networking purposefully. The best collaborators are “seeding relationships and developing an understanding of how they could work together with others,” says Cross. “Then when the opportunity comes by, their response is much greater than those of people who don’t do this. So they’re able to mobilize resources that produce a bigger outcome.” SIX DEGREES OF SEPARATION There are many reasons collaborations fail, but a common one is that leaders neglect to set up the conditions needed to support collaboration, relying instead on conventional solutions to fix collaborations when they break down. Research by Babson College professor Rob Cross and coauthor Inga Carboni outlines six patterns of collaborative dysfunction that can harm performance. Examples include hub-and-spoke networks, where leaders micromanage or make all decisions on their own, and disenfranchised nodes, in which groups and team members are isolated from one another. And beware of overwhelmed nodes, in which excessive collaboration brings projects to a standstill. Lead collaboratively. — Edited by Rama Ramaswami, a senior editor in McKinsey’s Stamford office Follow our thinking Share these insights Did you enjoy this newsletter?

The metaverse could intensify competition for jobs and increase turnover: since employees in the digital realm can work from any location, both job hunters and recruiters will have more options. As companies establish a presence in the metaverse, they’ll also create new jobs. [WSJ] • Ahoy there, workmate. Why not work from a pirate ship or a space station? In the metaverse, you can. Three-dimensional, virtual worlds are set to transform the way we work, bringing new interactive, collaborative experiences that remote workers crave. For instance, in the virtual workplace, colleagues’ avatars can walk into conference rooms in real time, kick back in a lounge, and bump into each other and say hello. If they want to take a break, workers can do so in digital spaces set aside for well-being (like a virtual forest or aquarium). [HBR] “If you wait a year and a half or two years to do something, to have a clear metaverse strategy, and to start testing assumptions, it might be a little bit too late.” On McKinsey.com • Massive opportunities. The metaverse is where our physical and digital lives meet, and it’s already changing how companies do business, says Cathy Hackl in an episode of McKinsey’s new podcast, At the Edge. “There are massive opportunities to take new commerce models and do them at scale,” says Hackl, a futurist, metaverse expert, and author. For example, in a virtual-to-physical transaction, you could buy something in a virtual-reality environment that then shows up as a physical item delivered to your house. • Metaverse moments. “We’re seeing a lot of glimpses of the metaverse, or what I call metaverse moments,” Hackl says. Companies have the chance to “reimagine” themselves in the metaverse right now: “What is the extension of who you are?” They’ll also need to come up with new metrics—beyond likes, shares, and subscribers—to determine what success looks like for virtual experiences and communities. To learn three things leaders can do today to understand the potential opportunities in the metaverse, listen to the full podcast. — Edited by Belinda Yu Enter the metaverse Was this forwarded to you?

Understand market trends Transformative role of intangible assets in companies and economies with Jonathan Haskel and Stian Westlake “William Blake talked about the dark Satanic mills, these inhuman pieces of tangible capital. Intangible capital is in some ways about what makes us human. It’s about ideas, and it’s about relationships. It’s about expressiveness. Some people may ask whether we should be making that the basis of the economy. But we would argue that this is actually making those things that matter to us as humans more central to our thriving.” Tune into the podcast The social contract in a postpandemic world with Minouche Shafik and Andrew Sheng “Our social contract is broken. And that is at the heart of why our politics is so divided and so many citizens around the world are disappointed and frustrated.” “Modern society is killing Mother Nature.

McKinsey&Company
A collection of insights on globalization: What’s at stake? .Share this email New from McKinsey & Company The globalization imperative The global pandemic and Russia’s invasion of Ukraine have sparked a new debate on the viability of globalization.

Check out these insights from our archives to dive into the continued evolution of globalization and what might come next. Read more Forward Thinking on globalization and the evolving role of corporate leadership in the 21st century with Matthew Slaughter A leading economist and business school dean reflects on globalization, concluding that “we’ve learned people want to know policies will matter for them”, and that “a lot of us underestimated the possible magnitude of distribution pressures from freer trade and immigration and flows of capital.” Listen to the episode Globalization in transition: The future of trade and value chains Global value chains are being reshaped by rising demand and new industry capabilities in the developing world as well as a wave of new technologies. Understand the landscape Globalization’s next chapter Globalization isn’t in retreat, but it has morphed into a very different phenomenon, increasingly powered by trade in services and by intraregional trade. Explore the trends It’s not your father’s globalization anymore Globalization has morphed in a very different—and more digital—direction, writes James Manyika on LinkedIn. Assess business models Globalization’s ongoing challenge Are politics and aid—in lieu of free trade—to blame for the issues facing globalization today?
