    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.

    Decarbonizing the world’s industries: A net-zero guide for nine key sectors
    The sectors that produce the majority of global greenhouse-gas emissions face a steep challenge to decarbonize, but our research shows that solutions are within reach. In many cases, a transformation is well underway. This collection draws together articles and reports that lay out a pathway to net zero for nine emissions-intensive industries.

    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.

    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
    A photo of Dr. Lisa Cook in a classroom

    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.”

    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!

    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.

    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.

    Cool climate tech
    In the news
    Deus ex machina. Technology got us into this mess, but it also might get us out of it. Energy experts point to tech with the potential to either slow or reverse climate change. Ground-source heat pumps and high-efficiency air conditioners offer more efficient heating and cooling. Direct air capture can remove carbon dioxide from the atmosphere and can operate in any location. Next-generation nuclear power plants and clean electric grids are not fantasies but real options currently being built. [WSJ]
    Mind the (funding) gap. Cryptocurrency, the metaverse, and NFTs excite investors looking for the next big thing. That’s a problem for European companies aspiring to raise money for viable climate-change solutions. Investors get excited about start-ups, but funds tend to dry up at the scaling phase that could convert an idea for a better battery or sustainable aviation fuel into a game changer. European companies say that investors will only pony up the hundreds of millions of dollars needed if regulations compel the use of sustainable products and systems. [NYT]
    Scaling up interdependent climate technologies often requires a more cooperative approach than businesses might be accustomed to.
    On McKinsey.com
    Great need. To reach net zero by 2050, capital spending on low-emission equipment and infrastructure would need to average about $6.5 trillion a year. The annual production of clean hydrogen would need to increase more than sevenfold, requiring an additional $540 billion of investment. The global capacity of long-duration energy storage must increase by a factor of 400 by 2040, which will depend on innovations in chemical, electrochemical, mechanical, and thermal technologies.
    Cooperate to compete. Climate technologies are interdependent, so competing in these markets often requires cooperation across value chains and industrial ecosystems. The success of climate technologies, including green methanol, green hydrogen, green steel, and carbon capture, depends on first being able to generate and store renewable electricity. Read on to learn why executives shouldn’t wait for a supportive ecosystem to form, and how they can gain big first-mover advantages.

    Forward Thinking on democratizing technology with Anne-Marie Imafidon
    “Having a computer science degree should not be a prerequisite for being one of the only people in control of what happens next. It’s about democratizing. It’s about giving folks agency so we can make collective decisions about what happens next rather than it being that technical power race. I don’t know if we can call it race to the—I’m going to call it the bottom, race to the dystopia.”

    ESSENTIALS FOR LEADERS AND THOSE THEY LEAD
    Business lore is rife with high-profile examples of bad decisions, some of which sank entire companies. But questionable decisions that make headlines aren’t the only ones that can fail. The common, routine decisions we make every day can easily go awry and delay projects, alienate employees and customers, or hurt financial performance. In today’s uncertain environment, leaders are under constant pressure to make smart decisions fast. This week, let’s explore some decision-making practices that can make the process easier.
    AN IDEA
    Standing office worker addressing three colleagues
    Focus on speed, quality, and results
    Contrary to what you might expect, it doesn’t take very long to make a good decision. A McKinsey survey shows that fast, high-quality decisions correlate strongly with good company performance. This applies to all types of decisions—big bets that affect the company’s future; cross-cutting decisions, which are smaller in scope and made in collaboration with different groups across the company; and delegated decisions, which are the province of individuals or specific business units. Just 37 percent of our survey respondents say that their organizations’ decisions show both speed and high quality, and only 20 percent make fast, high-quality decisions that also deliver strong financial returns. The top performers’ formula for success? Make decisions at the right level (for example, don’t be afraid to delegate down to lower levels of the organization), focus on enterprise-level value, and get commitment from accountable stakeholders.
    A BIG NUMBER
    11
    That’s the number of ingrained myths that could trip up leaders who are trying to justify a decision. These might include beliefs such as, “I don’t have the time to give to this decision,” “I know I’m right,” “I trust my gut,” or “There’s just one way to do this.” An effective way to counter decision-making myths is slowing down and making a strategic stop—taking what the author of this Harvard Business Review article calls a “cheetah pause.” Cheetahs are known not just for their incredible speed but also for their ability to slow down quickly when they spot their prey. Pausing in a calculated way, rather than racing toward a decision, can help you bust the myths and evaluate whether to move in a new direction or stay the course.

    A QUOTE
    “The number of alternatives that leadership teams consider in 70 percent of all important strategic decisions is exactly one. Yet there’s evidence that if you get a second alternative, your decisions improve dramatically.”
    That’s Stanford University professor Chip Heath in this discussion with McKinsey on how senior leaders can boost their decision-making effectiveness. For example, considering just one more option can make good decision making up to six times more likely. Heath suggests using a four-pronged decision-making framework, known by the acronym WRAP: explore a wider set of options to create more debate, reality-test your assumptions through research, step back and attain some distance from your choice, and—although it may be hard to acknowledge—prepare to be wrong at the end of the process.
    A SPOTLIGHT INTERVIEW
    Headshot of Bernhard Günther
    A series of biased decisions led to time and cost overruns in a major investment project at the German electric utility RWE. “What became obvious is that we had fallen victim to a number of cognitive biases in combination,” says CFO Bernhard Günther in this McKinsey Quarterly interview. “We could see that status quo and confirmation biases had led us to assume the world would always be what it used to be.” The project’s disappointing performance led Günther to spearhead fundamental changes in decision-making processes at the company. This included launching training programs for leaders and managers on becoming aware of biases, being more open to dissent and conflict, and learning debiasing practices—all of which eventually resulted in better decisions. A key factor in the success of RWE’s debiasing program was that top management set an example. “That’s true of any kind of change, not just debiasing,” Günther says. “If it’s not modeled at the very top, it’s unlikely to happen further down the hierarchy.”
    JAM SESSION
    Illustration of colored arrows on yellow background
    Research shows that having too many choices can confuse people, forcing them to make snap decisions or not decide at all. A well-known study of consumer psychology reveals that shoppers are ten times more likely to make a purchase if they choose among six rather than 24 flavors of jam. Business leaders confronted with a long list of potential courses of action can pare down the choices by using a simple checklist-based approach to eliminating biases and screening bad decisions before they happen—freeing up resources to implement better alternatives.
    Lead decisively.

    Global food system crisis
    In the news
    Scarce rice. The price of fertilizer has skyrocketed so much that rice farmers in Asia are using less of it, which, in turn, means that less rice will grow. As a result, rice crops could drop by 36 million tons by next season, an amount that would feed 500 million people. The lack of rice will likely contribute to the food inequalities already present in developing nations. And the high price of fertilizer is just one of myriad factors contributing to a growing worldwide hunger crisis. [Bloomberg]
    Soaring food prices. As COVID-19-era supply chain issues continue, food prices across all categories have hit all-time highs not seen for decades. High fuel costs and worker shortages have now been compounded by recent events—including Russia’s invasion of Ukraine, a serious avian flu outbreak in the US, an ongoing and worsening drought in the American West, as well as border snarls delaying produce from entering the US. [WaPo]
    “The war in Ukraine threatens to disrupt the food system globally, well beyond the conflict zone.”
    On McKinsey.com
    Regional and global repercussions. Millions of Ukrainians are trapped in the greatest humanitarian crisis since World War II, and among all else, their access to food amid the immediate conflict is in jeopardy. The war is also threatening to majorly disrupt global food systems: the Black Sea, whose north and northeast borders are Ukraine and Russia, respectively, is a key food supply hub. The region’s instability will undoubtedly have secondary effects on other breadbaskets dependent on its wheat and fertilizer.
    A whiplash effect. To understand what’s at stake and at risk as the war continues—including the crucial roles that the region plays within the worldwide food system—McKinsey global editorial director Lucia Rahilly sat down with McKinsey partners Daniel Aminetzah and Nicolas Denis for The McKinsey Podcast on April 4. They discussed the supply chain strains already happening as a result of the Russian invasion, as well as potential outcomes and what can be done to help.
