To untangle supply chains solve three critical challenges, say top execs
McKinsey&Company
Supply chain salve In the news • Mix things up. Diversifying global supply chains may be key to easing vulnerabilities that the COVID-19 pandemic exposed, according to research by the International Monetary Fund. If one big supplier runs short of labor, that can drop an economy’s output by nearly 1%. But greater diversification among source countries could cut global GDP losses by roughly half, to 0.4%, the IMF found. IMF’s model suggests that using more foreign inputs and being able to substitute inputs across suppliers can increase resilience to supply shocks. “Dismantling global value chains is not the answer,” the researchers stated. [Reuters] • Pain at the ports. Tight restrictions aimed at limiting COVID-19 transmission in China mean more lockdowns—and more supply chain constraints. Shanghai is the biggest container port in the world and has been locked down since late March. By one estimate, 30% of global shipping delays are originating in Asia. Those delays are massive: one in five cargo ships is stranded in a port somewhere in the world. The bottlenecks have a snowball effect, forcing cost increases for businesses and, analysts say, could further escalate inflation. [Fortune] 
“Before the pandemic, the rationale for automation of supply chains was financial. Today it is as much—if not more—about risk mitigation as it is about financial performance.” On McKinsey.com • Under pressure. As global supply chains buckle under the weight of demand, transportation and logistics experts gathered at the UN’s 84th Inland Transport Committee meeting to parse the industry’s challenges. Speaking with McKinsey’s Tom Bartman, the executives noted three big challenges: global labor shortages (partially due to an aging workforce and limited engagement with young people), a lack of crucial equipment needed to decarbonize fleets, and the ripple effect of bottlenecks at crucial supply chain junctures. • Logistics lifelines. These hurdles aren’t insurmountable, but they will require better visibility and coordination up and down the supply chain and for organizations to rethink priorities, the executives said. The panelists reviewed how companies are navigating the ongoing unpredictability and discussed options for greater involvement from public-sector actors, which could help to ease the strain. Watch the video for two critical things supply chain executives are doing to relieve disruptions in the supply chain. — Edited by Sarah Thuerk Clear the bottlenecks Was this forwarded to you?

A more productive environment for everyone
McKinsey&Company
Share this email
McKinsey Classics | May 2022 
A more productive environment for everyone Let’s say you’re facing a “difficult conversation”—for example, informing a colleague that you’ll have to pull out of an important meeting the two of you have been planning for weeks. You start by baldly stating that you can’t attend it. Behavioral research shows that the other person’s brain then goes on defense, diverting scarce mental energy by launching an automatic “snap, sulk, or skulk” mode. Emotionally sophisticated neural machinery shuts down, and the quality of work declines. But suppose you take a different tack. You start by saying nice things about that person’s work. Then you add that you want to spend more time with your son, and it’s really important for you to participate in a tennis match with him that conflicts with the meeting, so you won’t be able to attend it. Your coworker thinks, “Wonderful! He’s such a great parent.” Both parties to the conversation remain on a high level of mental energy. You have just learned the “positive no” technique. Simple communication tweaks based on behavioral research can nudge employees into top form and create a more productive environment. For more, read our 2016 classic “How small shifts in leadership can transform your team dynamic.” — Roger Draper, editor, New York Learn these simple communication tweaks

How can real estate predict, model, and measure climate risk? A primer.
The Shortlist
Share this email
Our best ideas, quick and curated | April 22, 2022 View in browser
This week, the hazards and opportunities for real estate as the world tackles climate change. Plus, why boards should be more strategic about cloud, and Terry Crews, the Brooklyn Nine-Nine actor and former NFL player, explores how “tough guys” can find strength in vulnerability. 
For what it’s worth. The value of real estate has long been set primarily by its proximity to the center of action in any town or city. Today, risks posed by climate change are changing how real-estate value is calculated. These risks may be physical, as markets consider hazards posed by a changing climate. There are also transition risks, including changes to the economy, to regulations, and in consumer behavior as the world targets net zero. The real-estate industry is increasingly realizing that these risks have implications for long-term values, revenue, operating costs, and capitalization rates. Obvious, and not so obvious. Some climate risks are easier to see, like those posed to properties in coastal settings where flooding could cause physical damage. But it’s trickier for real estate to learn to predict, model, and measure harder-to-perceive risks. For example, there could be declines in sectors or markets tied to traditional energy sources that could lead to depressed occupancy and lower rents. Significant capital investment may be required to meet local energy efficiency and emissions standards; there may also be new tenant demands as companies aim to comply with new regulations governing their own carbon footprints. Build better. One way to mitigate climate-change risks is to construct buildings in more efficient ways that create fewer emissions. It’s no simple task: construction is directly or indirectly responsible for almost 40 percent of global carbon-dioxide emissions from fuel combustion and 25 percent of greenhouse-gas emissions across the economy. These statistics may be surprising, as we tend to think of moving objects, such as cars and airplanes, as potential “gas guzzlers,” not static buildings. Decarbonize existing buildings. With roughly 80 percent of the predicted building stock for 2050 already in existence today, there is a huge need to retrofit. It won’t be cheap: the average annual spending on physical assets between 2020 and 2050 would be $1.7 trillion per year. The buildings sector would have to decarbonize by improving energy efficiency, for example, through the use of insulation and by replacing fossil fuel–powered heating and cooking equipment with low-emissions systems, among other interventions. Stakeholders across the value chain will have to collaborate to succeed. The industry will need to align incentives for stakeholders such as building owners, who invest capital, and tenants, who may see the benefits of reduced operating costs. Plenty of hands will be required to insulate and decarbonize buildings, resulting in a net gain of about half a million direct jobs by 2050. A new door opens. Climate-change risk poses many challenges to the real-estate sector, but it also opens up new opportunities. Firms can differentiate by offering buildings that use greener materials and are constructed in energy-conserving ways. Residents and tenants around the world are increasingly eager to live and work in spaces that consider the environment and their health and wellness. High-rise buildings will increasingly be built for mixed-use purposes, where floors in the same building will be used for offices, homes, and hotels. Real-estate companies that think deeply about how people want to live and work, and the values and community that matter to them most, will have the edge. — Katy McLaughlin
OFF THE CHARTS Cloud lets you compete on skill rather than scale Cloud will help organizations to both reduce IT costs and support innovation through powerful emerging technologies. The existing and growing range of cloud services means that those companies—including new entrants—that do establish the right vision, governance, and operating model to leverage the cloud will compete on skill rather than scale. Yet only about 13 percent of boards are actively engaged in conversations about cloud, despite its tremendous potential value. For many boards, not knowing how to have strategic conversations about cloud is the biggest barrier to their involvement.

PODCAST The rising risk of a global food crisis In the global food system, previous supply–demand scenarios were mostly encoded around weather and other supply-related events. In the past few years, the global pandemic has clearly tested, and in many cases proved, the resilience of the food system. But Russia’s invasion of Ukraine, one of the world’s six breadbasket regions, risks tilting the food system into global crisis. In this installment of The McKinsey Podcast, two McKinsey agriculture experts discuss the looming threat, what’s at stake, and what might be done to help.

THREE QUESTIONS FOR Terry Crews In Tough: My Journey to True Power, Terry Crews, the Brooklyn Nine-Nine actor and former NFL player, explores how “tough guys” can find strength in vulnerability. This is excerpted from an edition of McKinsey Global Publishing’s Author Talks series. Why write this book, and why now? Tough is a journey of revelation for me. My whole life, I thought the definition of tough was totally opposite to what being tough actually is. When you find something out, you have a responsibility to tell your truth to others who may not know it. For me, writing a book is the best way to convey your thoughts and put everything out there as thoroughly and completely as you can without being taken out of context, which is a big thing that happens now on social media—people can take one thing and twist it to mean something else. The good thing about a book is that the people who decide to read it tend to be invested, and they can take in the whole of what you say, which is something that’s been lost, I think, in a lot of conversations. How did you used to define toughness? One thing I discovered in writing this book is that my definition of toughness was “cold.” It was the ability to shut emotion off. I’ve heard a quote—hopefully, I don’t mess it up—but it was about intense morality and how, if you have it, it makes a bad soldier. You have to turn off your moral compass to be a good soldier, so that you can do what needs to be done no matter who gets hurt or what goes on around you or how your world can crumble. That definition of tough had taken over, especially in the world of masculinity. I was involved in a very competitive world. From growing up among gang members and drug dealers all the way to sports and the NFL, I watched, and I became what I saw. It was about turning off your emotions, turning off what you’re feeling, turning off your pain compass. The revelation that came to me much later was that toughness is not the ability to throw a punch. One thing I say all the time is that you can either have success or revenge, but you can’t have both. Many men live their lives like they’re in a revenge movie, like it’s a fantasy where they’ve been wronged, and now they’re going to get back at every person who wronged them, one at a time. The problem is that success is about letting go. Success is not about getting back at people; it’s about finding a new way to live, about finding new areas and new things so that it doesn’t even matter what someone else does to you, because you’re already gone, you’re already in a new place. What should business leaders understand about being tough? I truly believe that competition is the opposite of creativity. Creativity is mixing two things together. The definition, at its core, is when someone finds one thing and then goes, “Wait a minute, if I put this in there, I have something new!” When you put yourself into something, you are automatically exercising creativity simply because that cause, or project, or team you join has never had you. When you collaborate with another person, you are going to come up with something special. That’s just the way creativity goes. But if you’re fighting with everyone—if you’re trying to beat everyone—creativity stops, and then judgment starts. I like to say judgment kills all creativity. Creativity stops because you’re working for perfection. You’re working against other people. You’re looking at other people’s papers. You’re trying to compare. This is called the sin of comparison—when what you have is never good enough, because you’re always looking at someone else’s stuff. You’re not collaborating, you’re competing. I like being on a show like Brooklyn Nine-Nine, where we can collaborate and we can make people laugh. Remember, when you’re doing comedy, the only rule is that you have to say yes. Especially in ad-libbing and especially with improv, you have to accept what the other person is saying for it to be funny. I love being this big, muscular guy in this comedy world, you know? I created a new thing, and because of that, it made me an original. I decided to just do that with everything: don’t worry, don’t fight against people, just collaborate and make something new. — Edited by Barbara Tierney Share this Q & A

In this new era of work, what will it take to make a future-ready office?
McKinsey&Company
Office politics In the news • Are we having fun yet? Big tech companies want their employees to come back to the office. Instead of punishing the cubicle shy, they are attempting to lure workers with bands, beer, and barbecue—and, for good measure, free pizza, gyros, coffee, T-shirts, and terrarium-making classes. Some researchers doubt that tunes and noshes will be all that convincing: in one ongoing survey of thousands of workers, most respondents want to come to an office only two or three times a week, while a third say that they never want to return at all. [NYT] • They doth protest too much. Employers are trying to reinstate in-office work by touting its supposed advantages, such as collaboration, mentoring, and company culture. But studies show that open offices are associated with less collaboration, the benefits of mentoring are unequally shared, and company culture may be code for a homogenous workforce. Companies should tout less and provide more proof that commutes and other in-person work inconveniences pay off. [Bloomberg] Yesterday’s financial-services headquarters are no longer fit for tomorrow. To future-proof flagship offices, banks and insurers should consider the larger forces reshaping their industry and redefine the purpose of their workplaces. On McKinsey.com • Fit for purpose. The largest banks and insurers have invested millions, and sometimes billions, of dollars in their headquarters—only to be faced with the question of whether anyone needs to come into the office at all. Digitization, the benefits of a diverse workforce, and fintech disrupters are changing what spaces are needed and how and when they are used. The answer for the financial services industry isn’t to bring workers back to the old office but to reorient headquarters around learning, inclusion, and entrepreneurial action. • Ten ways to win. McKinsey interviewed 30 internal and 16 external financial-services experts—the latter, leaders with roots in traditional banks and insurance organizations, some of whom now work for fintech companies. Their insights were distilled into a list of ten bold moves that banks and insurers can take to rethink their flagship offices. Hybrid solutions, such as wiring offices with cutting-edge tech, should support core missions, such as integrating a diverse cast of remote collaborators.

AN ARTICLE A DAY, PICKED BY OUR EDITORS
As industries and governments around the globe look toward a net-zero future, the road to decarbonization will be a challenge, particularly for sectors that produce the majority of global greenhouse-gas emissions. But according to McKinsey research, opportunities for transformation are underway. A new collection highlights articles and reports from nine emissions-intensive industries—including automotive, oil and gas, agriculture and food, and more—on their work to combat climate change. Dive into these insights to get smart about what’s being done and what to expect in the future. — Joyce Yoo, digital editor, New York

Investment in green energy is taking off in Asia. Which sectors play the biggest roles?
McKinsey&Company
Power players in Asia In the news • Fuel focused. The war in Ukraine is driving Europe to bolster its plans for alternative sources of energy, which may benefit China’s clean-energy companies. To transition from fossil fuels to clean energy, Europe expects to install 900 additional gigawatts of wind and solar power by 2030, an almost twofold increase from its initial plans. These efforts place manufacturers in China—where most of the parts for global solar equipment are produced—in a prime position to benefit from the increased demand. [Bloomberg] • Room for improvement. Although Asia–Pacific’s progress toward sustainability has some “bright spots,” such as the expansion of green and affordable energy, many Asian nations appear to be lagging behind other parts of the globe on sustainability efforts. “Without acceleration, this region is not set to achieve any of the sustainable development goals by 2030,” a UN official says. The COVID-19 crisis has set back progress in areas like sustainable production and climate action by 30 to 40 years, which is particularly troubling given the region’s exposure to climate change. [CNBC] Asia could see an increase of up to tenfold in green business start-up activity in the next few years, McKinsey analysis finds. On McKinsey.com • Eyes on the net-zero prize. More than 130 countries are working toward carbon neutrality, and consumers are noticing brands’ sustainability efforts. The myriad materials and equipment required to meet net-zero targets create opportunities for energy players worldwide. Since 2018, the number of investment deals involving green start-ups rose by 67%, with start-ups linked to sustainability attracting $2 billion in investments worldwide. Europe and North America currently lead in terms of investment size, but Asia is quickly catching up. • Green investment doubles in Asia. Led by electric vehicles and renewable energy, investment activities in green energy and related industries doubled over the past ten years in Asia. Investors there have the chance to capitalize on declining costs for renewable technologies, which have dipped 90% in the past decade. See our analysis of the best paths to growing green businesses in Asia, in addition to five technologies that are advancing fast. — Edited by Sarah Thuerk Go green and lean Was this forwarded to you?

Americans have new ideas. What they need is capital.

DELIVERING ON DIVERSITY, GENDER EQUALITY, AND INCLUSION
This week, we consider the landmark confirmation of Dr. Lisa D. Cook to the US Federal Reserve Board. Plus: a look at who gets VC funding. THE ZEITGEIST New people, new ideas 
Photo courtesy of Michigan State University This week, the US Senate confirmed Dr. Lisa D. Cook as a member of the Federal Reserve Board. Dr. Cook will be the first Black woman to serve as a Fed governor. The Fed’s newest governor is an expert on innovation—and she says that racism and sexism are standing in the way of it. She often highlights the stats on US venture capital funding: only about 1 percent of VC funding goes to Black Americans. About 5 percent goes to women founders. And just 0.2 percent goes to Black women. The economist puts it plainly: “That’s got to change. That means that we are leaving a lot of ideas on the table.” After all, Cook says, “If you rely on the same old people, you are going to get the same old ideas.” McKinsey analysis shows that access to capital is a major roadblock for Black founders in the US. White entrepreneurs start their businesses with an average of over $100,000 of capital, including nearly $20,000 in outside equity such as venture capital. Black founders, on the other hand, start with about $35,000 in start-up capital—including just $500 of outside equity. Black-owned funds such as Harlem Capital and Backstage Capital (both founded in 2015 and referenced in this MGI report) are working to shift the status quo. Harlem Capital has set out to “change the face of entrepreneurship and create generational wealth for people of color and women.” Backstage Capital, which is headquartered in LA, describes investing in underrepresented founders as “the biggest opportunity in investment.” In the words of Arlan Hamilton, the fund’s managing partner: “We invest in the very best founders who identify as women, people of color, or LGBTQ+. I personally identify as all three.” Jewel Burks Solomon Making the innovation process more inclusive would boost the US economy at large. Dr. Cook estimates that GDP per capita could be up to 4.4 percent higher if more Black Americans and more women were able to participate in the innovation economy. In other words, she says, standards of living would be higher for everyone. Dr. Cook takes care to emphasize the connection: “We are not just calculating GDP for GDP’s sake, but to achieve higher living standards.” One American city—Atlanta—stands out as a site of inclusive innovation. That’s thanks in part to Georgia Tech, along with HBCUs, including Dr. Cook’s alma mater, Spelman College. Among the VC funds that are remaking the landscape is Atlanta-based Collab Capital, which is focused exclusively on Black founders. Launched in 2019, the firm closed its first $50 million fund last year. Managing partner Jewel Burks Solomon (pictured above) founded her own start-up in Atlanta back in 2013. “At the time,” she says, “most investors I was talking to were trying to convince me to move back to Silicon Valley or maybe to New York.” In fact, being in Atlanta meant better access to her customers—and to key talent. Editor’s note: It has been a pleasure leading Intersection. This is my last issue at the helm of the newsletter, so to all readers: thank you, and stay tuned! — Edited by Julia Arnous, an editor in McKinsey’s Boston office

Improving the childcare experience for working parents
the Daily read

AN ARTICLE A DAY, PICKED BY OUR EDITORS
Companies need to start thinking differently about childcare requirements in the wake of the Great Attrition. Workable childcare options remain elusive for working parents, particularly working mothers, who are grappling with affordability, quality, reliability, convenience, and accessibility of childcare. As companies think about managing returning talent and attracting new employees, improving the childcare experience could be central to turning the Great Attrition into the Great Attraction. Check out a new article to see why supporting working families is a win-win. — Katherine Tam, digital editor, New York 
The childcare conundrum: How can companies ease working parents’ return to the office? The status quo work culture no longer works for most families—particularly those with very young children. But companies’ support for childcare can turn worker attrition into attraction. Here’s how. Understand families’ needs
Quote of the Day “Allyship is stepping up in support of colleagues who are identified in another group: to support them, to create opportunities for them, to speak up when you see negative behaviors, and also to amplify and lift them up.” —Nora Gardner, McKinsey senior partner on the business case for diversity, equity, and inclusion in a recent episode of the McKinsey on Government podcast

Hiring? Look to your existing employees first.
McKinsey&Company
Acting on attrition In the news • The gray resignation. Of the five million US workers who left their jobs during the COVID-19 pandemic, the majority—nearly 70%—were 55+. In the UK, meanwhile, the employment rate of over-50 workers fell twice as much as that of workers aged 25 to 49 in 2020. Older workers are leaving the workforce at high rates, reversing a prepandemic trend of older workforces and leaving behind substantive skills shortages. [FT] • The great job switch. About 64% of recent job switchers report that their new job pays more, and nearly 9% say that they’re earning at least 50% more, according to a recent survey of more than 2,000 workers in the US. The job-switching trend is expected to continue: one-fifth of workers aged 25 to 54 expect to leave their current job within a year, and one-fourth expect to stay just one or two years. [WSJ] “Across the board, you see workers saying … if I’m going to go to work, it actually needs to matter.” On McKinsey.com • Acute talent shortage. Workers want more flexibility, more career mobility, more money, and—crucially—greater purpose. STEM [science, technology, engineering, and mathematics] workers especially are leaving their jobs for similar ones that pay more. The ongoing talent shortage is real and may get worse. But as leaders go on the lookout for talent during this Great Attrition, they may be overlooking their best internal talent. • Go internal. McKinsey’s Emily Field, Bryan Hancock, and Bill Schaninger discuss on a recent episode of McKinsey Talks Talent how an internal talent marketplace—an AI-enabled platform that matches openings with internal employees—could help organizations bridge talent supply and demand. Such a marketplace, they posit, can democratize the hiring process and reduce bias by creating more transparency into relevant jobs. The benefits are massive: workers can move into well-fitting internal roles, while employers retain people rather than watch them leave. — Edited by Justine Jablonska Make the match Was this forwarded to you?
