THIS MONTH'S PAGE-TURNERS ON BUSINESS AND BEYOND
When schools and day-care centers shut down at the peak of the pandemic, moms stepped up. Between supervising remote school, doing housework, and preparing lunch, working mothers were now balancing two jobs and lots of cognitive labor, often causing their paying jobs to suffer. In this edition of Readers & Leaders—McKinsey’s monthly newsletter on the books business leaders are reading—catch a discussion on working-mother burnout with Reshma Saujani, interviews about why work isn’t working for women of color and how to achieve optimum performance at work and in life, and the month’s bestselling business books, prepared exclusively for McKinsey by NPD BookScan.

AUTHOR TALKS
Millions of mothers have been pushed out of the workforce since the pandemic began, either downshifting to part-time work or leaving their jobs altogether to care for their children—and at disproportionate rates to their male counterparts. In a recent edition of Author Talks, we sat down with Reshma Saujani, founder of Girls Who Code, to discuss double standards in caretaking and more from her new book Pay Up: The Future of Women and Work (and Why It’s Different Than You Think).
“This wasn’t just a pandemic story. For far too long, we have been juggling too much. We were sold a big corporate lie: that we could ‘girl boss’ our way and ‘lean in’ our way to the top. We have always participated in a workforce not only not built for us but that has been stacked against us. I think moms are tired. I think we’re burned out. I think we’re angry.” Watch the full interview.IT BEARS REPEATING

IN CASE YOU MISSED IT
Deepa Purushothaman discusses why work isn’t working for women of color: “The idea that corporate America is a meritocracy really sets women of color up to struggle. It really sets us up to believe that we have to perform and behave in a certain way to rise, and I think that doesn’t allow us to be our full selves. It doesn’t allow us to bring the unique properties that we have and the power that we have to the workplace.’” Watch the full interview.
Rich Diviney shares SEAL team strategies for optimum performance: “In the team setting, it’s not at all about competition. In fact, it’s the opposite; it’s about vulnerability. The best—the highest performing—SEAL teams, for example, all did what we were able to do because we were all incredibly open to displaying our vulnerability.” Watch the full interview.
Catherine Price wants you to go have fun: “We typically think of fun as something that we can only have or experience when things are already going well, but what I’ve come to realize is that the opposite is true. Actually, fun can boost our resilience and our spirits in a way that makes it easier for us to cope with whatever life may throw our way, whether it’s a global pandemic or anything else.” Watch the full interview.BUSINESS BESTSELLERS TOP

AN ARTICLE A DAY, PICKED BY OUR EDITORS 
Do you prefer shopping online or in physical stores? Though online shopping has really taken off in recent years, brick-and-mortar stores are not going anywhere. In fact, in 2021, US retailers announced approximately twice as many store openings as store closings. Retailers who want their physical stores to remain relevant should pay attention to the changing needs of their customers and the omnichannel experience. A new episode of McKinsey on Consumer and Retail podcast explores the future of stores and the five things to get right. — Babi Oloko, digital editor, New York

Will ‘FemTech’ make healthcare more female-focused? It’s trying.
The Shortlist
Share this email
Our best ideas, quick and curated | march 25, 2022 View in browser
This week, we look at the progress being made in women’s healthcare and the challenges that remain. Plus, the pandemic is changing workplace design, and Tech for Execs explains how reordering the steps in data processing—from ETL to ELT—opens up a world of possibility for your data. 
A gap in care. Women, one half of the world’s population, account for 80 percent of consumer purchasing decisions in the healthcare industry. Yet women’s health has been considered a niche market—a subset of healthcare. Approximately 1 percent of healthcare research and innovation is invested in female-specific conditions beyond oncology. Women have been underrepresented in medical trials, and the current global innovation pipeline reveals mismatches between health investments and health needs as they relate to women. Making strides. The good news is that recent advances in genomics, tissue engineering, and cell and gene therapy can be applied to underserved female-specific conditions, creating better health outcomes for women. Current gaps also present new opportunities for investors, companies, and other stakeholders across the healthcare ecosystem. Where does ‘FemTech’ fit in? The term, coined by the entrepreneur Ida Tin in 2016, encompasses software and tech solutions that improve healthcare for women, including maternal health, fertility, menopause, and general health conditions that affect them disproportionately or differently (such as osteoporosis or cardiovascular disease). Since then, FemTech has grown to include a broader range of tech-enabled, consumer-centric products. For example, at-home diagnostics, trackers, and wearables are helping women take greater charge of their health and health-related data. Clinical-diagnostics companies are addressing unmet medical needs in areas such as endometriosis and preterm birth. And more companies are focusing on culturally sensitive and tailored care for Black women, LGBTQ+ populations, and women in low- and middle-income countries. Beyond maternity. McKinsey recently analyzed 763 FemTech companies and found that that public awareness, company formation, and funding are surging as FemTech’s impact grows in more categories. For instance, Maven Clinic, which started as a virtual clinic in maternity care and expanded across the reproductive life cycle, is now valued at more than $1 billion. Solid momentum. Although FemTech companies currently receive just 3 percent of all digital-health funding, forecasts suggest opportunities for double-digit revenue growth. In our scan of hundreds of FemTech companies, we found that many are filling gaps not yet addressed by biopharma and device incumbents. In a short period, FemTech has already demonstrated impressive early wins, improving women’s lives in a way that redounds across society. An even greater disruption could be ahead.
OFF THE CHARTS The B2B balancing act Although B2B companies have swung between e-commerce sales and field sales during the various stages of the COVID-19 pandemic, more buyers are now aiming for balance. A recent McKinsey Global Survey of thousands of B2B decision makers found that they have settled into using a mix of sales channels, although videoconferencing and emails have declined since the start of the pandemic. Check out our chart of the day here.
INTERVIEW The rebirth of workplace design Diane Hoskins, co-CEO of Gensler, a global design and architecture firm, has been thinking about effective workplaces for decades. In a recent interview, she discusses how COVID-19 has disrupted workplace norms, such as forcing companies to rethink open-plan offices that had been a source of distraction and stress for many workers even before the pandemic. “From a design standpoint, there’s now a conversation about what is the role of workplaces at the individual-worker level and not just at the company, industry, or world level,” Hoskins said. “That is a very powerful shift. It opens the door to new solutions that may be unexpected.”

TECH FOR EXECS The ABCs of ELT—or is it ETL? Our experts serve up a periodic look at the technology concepts leaders need to understand to help their organizations grow and thrive in the digital age. What it is. ELT or ETL, regardless of the order of letters, stands for extract, transform, and load. Collectively, these terms refer to the process of moving data from a source (such as a point-of-sale system) to an intermediate location (such as a relational database) from where the data can be accessed by an application (such as an AI-driven recommendation engine that suggests the next gadget you should buy based on your past purchases). Why it matters. The order of the letters does matter to businesses. Technology innovations enabled a shift from on-premise ETL to cloud-based ELT, which has arguably paved the way for virtually any company to create value from data—for example, by powering AI that’s now contributing significantly to bottom lines. From the 1970s through the early 2000s, a data point extracted from a source was sent to an intermediary system that transformed it into whatever format its database destination required—for example, sorting it into specific structured fields—and then forwarded it on to be loaded to that database (E-T-L). Along came a new suite of database systems in the 2000s to manage big (and messy) data in data lakes and enable E-L-T. Businesses could now extract data from multiple sources in their original, raw format and load them straight into a data lake where they could then be transformed into any number of formats needed by various applications—no intermediary data-preprocessing system required. An added bonus: data scientists could access and explore the raw data in the data lake as they worked on new applications, rather than having to tap back into varied and sundry source systems. Soon after, the cloud made ELT even easier—businesses could create data lakes and set up APIs (explained in last month’s Tech for Execs) to move the data from them to applications without having to worry about physical infrastructure. What the benefits are. ELT reduces cost and complexity and speeds up data processing. It also provides flexibility, since it allows easier movement of any data type—structured (tabular), unstructured (text, video), or anything in between—to multiple applications and enables data scientists and engineers to query and work with data in one place, fostering innovation. ETL isn’t dead. ELT hasn’t completely supplanted ETL, as there are cases where ETL is necessary. For example, it’s often needed when legacy infrastructure is in play or when it’s beneficial to use an intermediary system to anonymize personal data before sending it to a data lake (as opposed to configuring myriad guardrails for access to the data lake). Embrace cloudiness. Enabling faster and more flexible data management is one of the many benefits of moving to the cloud. If you don’t have a cloud strategy to drive business outcomes beyond IT cost savings, it’s time to craft one—a cloud transformation engine can help.

What’s next for streaming services?
McKinsey&Company
The future of streaming In the news • Shelling out for streaming. Thanks to streaming services, TV and film fans are binge-watching gobs of addictive, high-quality content. But with each platform creating its own slate of exclusive programming, the cost savings that led millions to cut ties with cable suddenly don’t seem so great. In fact, 43% of US adults said in a December survey that they were concerned about how much they spend on streaming subscriptions. That’s why the streaming industry’s next move may be to rebundle services. [Quartz] • In search of subscribers. In the first two years of the COVID-19 pandemic, people turned to streaming platforms like never before, with companies attracting millions of subscribers throughout 2020 and 2021. But a streaming giant’s lackluster forecast for new subscribers in the first quarter of 2022 seems to have dampened investor enthusiasm. To keep growing, media firms need to evolve: for example, by bundling streaming services with other perks such as merchandise or theme-park discounts. [CNBC] “The future growth in streaming is going to be outside the US. Folks are going to look at what they have built and try to figure out who can help make their footprint more global.” On McKinsey.com • ‘Content without borders.’ “Today, technology is shrinking the world, and it’s becoming one global marketplace for content,” says Jeffrey Hirsch, CEO of media and entertainment company Starz. That means that within the next decade, consumers across the globe will have access to entertainment made in any part of the world, predicts Hirsch. Over the next two to three years, competition will be stiffest in subscription video on demand (SVOD): research shows global consumers will have four to six SVOD services in their homes. • Stories from anywhere, available everywhere. Two technologies will accelerate the expansion of streaming services to all corners of the world, says Hirsch. Compression technology can be used to put high-definition movies and series onto mobile devices in a cost-effective way. Voice recognition will enable consumers to quickly choose a language for audio or subtitles. For more on how Starz works with creators, connects with streaming audiences, and makes diverse content pay off, read the full interview. — Edited by Belinda Yu Watch what happens Was this forwarded to you?

The rise of the FemTech unicorn
Intersection Subject Line
Share this email
DELIVERING ON DIVERSITY, GENDER EQUALITY, AND INCLUSION
In this issue, we look at FemTech—the definition and the latest developments—as well as the mismatch between health investments and women’s health needs. THE FACTS The market is there 
More than $2.5 billion—that’s how much funding the world’s FemTech companies received last year (including all forms of capital raising). What do we mean by “FemTech”? Coined in 2016 by Danish entrepreneur Ida Tin, the term has grown to encompass a range of tech-enabled, consumer-centric products and solutions. These span menstrual health, pelvic and sexual health, contraception, fertility, maternal health, and menopause, as well as a number of health conditions that affect women disproportionately or differently, such as osteoporosis or cardiovascular disease. FemTech funding is surging, but this is just the beginning. McKinsey analysis shows that there are plenty of white spaces in the start-up landscape, particularly in areas beyond fertility and maternal health. Some companies have already branched out: Maven Clinic, for example, started in maternity care and then expanded across the reproductive life cycle. The company was recently valued at more than $1 billion. “Is there really still an unmet need in this area?” Although that attitude may be surprising, that’s the kind of question that some FemTech entrepreneurs continue to face, explains McKinsey senior partner Dr. Lucy Pérez. McKinsey research shows that the market is there—and some investors are taking notice.
THE TAKEAWAY 
Less than 2 percent—that’s the share of the global healthcare pipeline that’s focused on conditions beyond oncology that are largely specific to women. Remarkably, women’s health has been considered a niche market and a mere subset of healthcare—but that’s finally beginning to change. That means more research on conditions such as endometriosis, which affects one in ten women and girls of reproductive age—and can often take a decade to be diagnosed. It means that more providers may recognize possible signs that a woman is having a heart attack—such as nausea, shortness of breath, and general discomfort. And it means that more women will have their pain taken seriously and receive appropriate treatment for it. Here’s more from McKinsey on how modern medicine was developed with male physiology as the default, the consequences of women’s historical exclusion from medical trials, and the opportunities to better meet women’s healthcare needs. Essential to keep in mind: the conditions discussed in this piece don’t affect cis women alone; transgender and nonbinary people may also share some of these healthcare needs. — Edited by Julia Arnous, an editor in McKinsey’s Boston office

Burned by higher prices? Here’s the best way to shrink costs and strengthen your business.
McKinsey&Company
Coping with costs In the news • ‘Shrinkflation.’ Check-processing fees, surcharges for materials, and charging for previously free services: companies are creating new ways to pass along cost increases to consumers, and often without changing the sticker price. Several industries have long employed what economists call “shrinkflation” during challenging times, downsizing packaged content to avoid conspicuous price hikes—for instance, selling cans of tuna with less meat. Hidden price increases may allow firms to pass along costs more easily, but consumers are also pushing back, forcing some businesses to cancel fees. [WSJ] • Pass the buck. Amid historically high inflation, more US small businesses are charging higher prices to account for rising costs, reveals a new survey. In January 2022, 47% of small-business owners said that they are passing costs on to consumers, compared with 39% last November. Another 32% said that if inflation persists, they’ll be forced to raise prices in the near future. Some small businesses are now unable to order supplies in smaller amounts, since vendors are favoring big clients that place high-volume orders. [CNBC] Companies need better tools to tackle rising prices. CEOs can look for them across their business operations. On McKinsey.com • Sticker shock. People everywhere are paying higher prices for materials, products, and services. At the end of 2021, Europe saw natural-gas prices rise to more than 12 times prepandemic levels, while in January 2022, the US consumer price index soared 7.5% over the previous year. For the first time since the start of the COVID-19 pandemic, executives consider inflation and supply chain disruption to be bigger threats to economic growth than the pandemic itself, according to a McKinsey survey. • Beyond the usual solutions. Raising prices and revisiting purchase agreements are typical ways of dealing with cost pressures that just won’t cut it these days. Leaders must look across the entire business, including every aspect of its operations, to reduce costs and protect the business from volatility. One electric-vehicle battery maker, by overhauling its production system, improved labor productivity by 75% and reduced defects by 80%.

Are you ready to be a CEO?
Re:think
We interviewed 67 CEOs for our new book, CEO Excellence (which I wrote with Scott Keller and Vikram Malhotra), and many of them said they were surprised at how ill prepared they felt when they stepped into those shoes. And these are the cream of the cream! We looked at 20 years of data on more than 2,400 public-company CEOs to find the very top performers. These top execs went in thinking they knew what to do, but when we asked them to look back, almost all of them said that they were surprised by what the job actually was and what it took to do it well.
One part of the surprise is that you have so much more to do that needs doing all the time. There are so many elements to the job, both internally and externally, and you must be on top of all of them all of the time. The breadth and the complexity of the role are unique, you’re doing it under more scrutiny than ever, and your decisions have more ripple effects than ever.
All the external stuff is so new and challenging. For example, once upon a time CEOs might have come into the job thinking that they just had to manage the relationship with the board, keep it at arm’s length, and let the members do their thing. But these excellent CEOs have discovered that this isn’t true at all. They learn how much the board can really help the business. Getting that out of a board takes a lot of time: you want to help the board evolve so that it has the right talent to advise a changing business; you have to give the directors the information they need to see the full context; you have to be radically transparent with them. That takes time.
I want to note one crucial mindset: the best CEOs come to understand that they should concentrate on the things that only they can do. What is the work that no one else is equipped to do? What are the things that only you, as the ultimate point of integration, can do? Those need to be the focus of your time. Everything else must be pushed out to others because there just aren’t enough hours in the day.

How clean is that glass of water? The US is spending billions to fix aging H2O systems.
McKinsey&Company
Getting wise about water In the news • Salty water. Rising sea levels can not only cause floods and erode coastal communities but also, over time, cause salt water to leech into aquifers and contaminate drinking water. Academic researchers are looking closely at communities along the Gulf and Atlantic coasts to identify which water systems are most vulnerable to saltwater intrusion and how utilities might respond. “Smart” water systems, for instance, use wireless sensors to discover when salinity is high, enabling resource managers to shift to other water sources. [Scientific American] • Dried up. There’s no end in sight for the drought in the American West, which could potentially get worse over the coming months. A new US government forecast reveals “below-average precipitation is most likely” in the West. That’s more bad news for the region, where water shortages are already affecting many communities. Another study noted that between 2000 and 2021, the West was the driest it had been in 1,200 years. [CNN] Approximately ten million American households are without clean drinking water. On McKinsey.com • Pipes older than grandma. Much of the US’s water and wastewater infrastructure was built in the 1970s and 1980s. The average US water network pipe is 45 years old, with some cast-iron pipes more than a century old. And in certain communities, drinking water is unsafe because of lead and other contaminants. Throughout the nation, 400,000 schools and childcare centers don’t have access to clean drinking water. At the same time, US water systems lose six billion gallons of treated drinking water every day through leaks. • New funding flows. Over the next five years, the US Bipartisan Infrastructure Law provides a historic amount of new spending to update water infrastructure through two EPA programs. The approximately $30 billion allotted to the Drinking Water State Revolving Fund and the nearly $13 billion allocated to the Clean Water State Revolving Fund will help communities replace lead pipes, remove contaminants from water, and update water-treatment plants. Read the article for five ways government and business leaders can prepare for the incoming flow of capital. — Edited by Belinda Yu Care about clean water Was this forwarded to you? Sign up here.

What has your employer done for you lately?
McKinsey&Company
Courting employees In the news • Ti amo, mon cheri. Amid a labor shortage, employers are attempting to motivate workers by offering them more than just a regular paycheck. That’s led employers to explore their employees’ “love languages,” or the forms of appreciation—such as praise, time off, or gifts—that mean the most to individual workers. Research indicates that workers who feel appreciated miss fewer days of work and are less likely to leave. [NYT] • Modern love. In industries where compensation is roughly equivalent among competitors, companies use benefits to lure talent. Employees today tend to characterize benefits packages that include remote-work options, unlimited PTO, and extensive healthcare coverage as “modern,” and traditional benefits (such as a set number of days off) as behind the times. About 80% of US workers say a flexible schedule is an important consideration when weighing a job offer. [Fortune] Those who voluntarily left their jobs cited experiences with uncaring leaders, unsustainable expectations of work performance, and lack of career advancement as factors in their decision. On McKinsey.com • Buh-bye. More than 4.3 million US workers voluntarily quit their jobs in December 2021—and many of them may not be that eager to return to the workforce. In a recent McKinsey survey of almost 600 workers who voluntarily left a job without another in hand, 44% said that they have little to no interest in returning to traditional jobs in the next six months. That’s a problem for businesses, since the number of current job openings exceeds the number of new hires by 4.6 million. • Love ’em or lose ’em. Reviewing compensation and benefits is just the first step to retain workers. Companies must also invest in building “sticky” workplaces by listening to employees, addressing their concerns, fostering a sense of community, and measuring outcomes. Find out why workers are leaving, why some are returning, and how to keep them for good. — Edited by Katy McLaughlin Show workers the love Was this forwarded to you? Sign up here.

We would like to invite you to our virtual event, “Accelerating Digital Transformation with Observability,” which will take place tomorrow at 14:00 CET.
We will begin the session with a discussion on the challenges that organizations face during a cloud migration—from building a CCoE to adopting a strong DevOps culture. We will also examine how these organizations must adjust their monitoring strategies for their new cloud environments, and how this transformation can impact their growth, costs, and assumed risks.
This discussion will be followed by a product demo and a live Q&A session.
We look forward to hosting you virtually!

Health equity: A framework for the epidemiology of care
the Daily read
Share this email
AN ARTICLE A DAY, PICKED BY OUR EDITORS
Better healthcare is an absolute good. But whose health concerns have we been solving for? The analysis changes as we think through an equity lens. Indeed, health inequities manifest in a variety of ways: limited access to food, care, or medication; unmet needs, when innovation is misaligned with disease burdens; or underserved communities, when key actors fail to engage groups commensurate with their needs. Addressing the issues has obvious benefits for patients—and the pharmaceutical and life sciences companies that serve them. A new article outlines a framework to approach health equity, recognize its limits, and sharpen decision making. Don’t miss it. — Torea Frey, managing editor, Seattle
