CEOs, make a metaverse plan. Step one? Know the real risk.
On Point
Three steps to a metaverse strategy Brought to you by Liz Hilton Segel, chief client officer and managing partner, global industry practices, & Homayoun Hatami, managing partner, global client capabilities
• Numbers game. McKinsey estimated the market value of metaverse activity in June 2022 at between $200 billion and $300 billion. In an analysis of metaverse spending and opportunity, McKinsey’s managing partner of global client capabilities, Homayoun Hatami, and his coauthors find that the metaverse could generate $4 trillion to $5 trillion—about the size of Japan’s economy—in roughly eight years. Some 95% of business leaders expect the metaverse to positively affect their industry within five to ten years, according to our April 2022 survey.

Join me on Wednesday for a distributed tracing workshop: tracking across your application stacks
Hi MD,
It's Liam Hurrell, Senior Technical Training Specialist at New Relic University, here. Are you looking to improve how you use trace data to find and fix errors or latency issues? If so, you can register for the free online workshop that I'll be hosting on Wednesday 22nd February at 10 AM GMT/ 11 AM CET.
While APM transaction tracing is helpful for analyzing calls in a single application, distributed tracing broadens your view by showing the path a request takes across multiple applications and services–from start to finish. In this practical session, you’ll learn how New Relic Distributed Tracing can extend your transaction tracing capabilities, and help you resolve issues in a distributed architecture.
You can find the full agenda on the registration page here. While we recommend attending the hands-on workshop live, you can also register to receive the recording.
Hope to see you then,
Liam HurrellSenior Technical Training Specialist

Farewell dinners, Mindful Mondays: How workplace rituals create community
On Point
Why rituals at work matter Brought to you by Liz Hilton Segel, chief client officer and managing partner, global industry practices, & Homayoun Hatami, managing partner, global client capabilities
• End the ‘me’ mentality. The COVID-19 pandemic halted many office rituals, from watercooler banter to in-person celebrations recognizing employees’ achievements. While some organizations have been intentional about bringing back the physical aspect of work, other companies rely on virtual get-togethers. In this episode of the McKinsey Talks Talent podcast, talent leaders Bryan Hancock and Bill Schaninger suggest that the absence of strong workplace rituals may lead some employees to adopt a “me” mentality.

Millions of customers are flocking to the early-stage metaverse. But is it really the next big thing or just another fad? The bottom line: With its potential to generate up to $5 trillion in value by 2030, the metaverse is too big for companies to ignore—and if CEOs don’t hop on the metaverse train, they risk being left at the station, write Homayoun Hatami, Eric Hazan, and Hamza Khan. Check out these 10 insights to understand both the opportunities and risks of what some are calling “the next iteration of the internet,” and then dive deeper with more insights in our special collection, McKinsey on the Metaverse.

Rekindling US productivity is a $10 trillion opportunity
Harmony Internal - McKinsey
On the path to sustainable, inclusive growth Brought to you by Liz Hilton Segel, chief client officer and managing partner, global industry practices, & Homayoun Hatami, managing partner, global client capabilities
New from McKinsey & Company
As we mark another Presidents’ Day in the US, business leaders and policy makers are striving to build a future that delivers sustainable and inclusive growth. But to make progress, they must also confront looming challenges—including workforce shortages, debt, inflation, and the cost of the energy transition. The tasks at hand are Herculean, but there’s one area of focus that can help: productivity. Returning labor productivity growth to its historical level would not only add $10 trillion to US GDP, but it would also help finance the net-zero transition, bring workers back to the job even as the population ages, and put the brakes on rising inequality, write Olivia White, Asutosh Padhi, Kweilin Ellingrud, Anu Madgavkar, and co-authors in a new McKinsey Global Institute report. Explore these insights for ways to revive the engine of US economic power and prosperity, and understand how companies, leaders, and society can work toward sustainable, inclusive growth in the US and beyond.

Why the new ethics of AI are the CEO’s responsibility
Harmony Internal - McKinsey
Only human Brought to you by Liz Hilton Segel, chief client officer and managing partner, global industry practices, & Homayoun Hatami, managing partner, global client capabilities
If a chatbot had written this edition of Leading Off, would you have known the difference? Generative-AI models are gaining worldwide attention for creating text and graphic content that is convincingly human-like—so much so that a public-school system has even banned the use of one such AI tool in its schools. While these powerful technologies offer exciting opportunities for innovative content creation, they present ethical dilemmas for which many organizations are unprepared. For leaders, that means taking a fresh look at the long-standing debate over AI’s promise and perils. Here’s how the discussion is evolving.
The risks of AI—such as privacy violations, bias, and fraud—are well known, but generative models add new challenges. For example, the technology could be misused to produce deepfakes (fake images or videos that may present people or individuals in a negative light) or spread misleading or harmful information. It has always been the CEO’s job to ensure responsible deployment of AI systems, but now it’s even more important for the chief executive to take on this task personally. High-level corporate value statements won’t suffice “in a world where ‘right’ and ‘wrong’ can be ambiguous and the line between innovative and offensive is thin,” caution McKinsey’s Roger Burkhardt, Nicholas Hohn, and Chris Wigley. Rather, CEOs need to set clear-cut standards for their organizations by “using examples that show how each value translates into the real-world choices that analytics teams make.”
That’s the percentage of organizations that are working to mitigate AI-related cybersecurity risks, according to the 2022 McKinsey Global Survey on AI—and it’s only marginally higher than the 48 percent reported in 2019. In fact, while AI adoption has more than doubled since 2017, the lack of progress on mitigating any AI-related risks remains “concerningly consistent,” note McKinsey partners Michael Chui and Helen Mayhew and their coauthors. Mitigation of personal-privacy risk is even lower than it was in 2019, and managing “explainability”—the capacity to express how AI models come to their decisions—has barely improved in three years.
That’s McKinsey senior partner Lareina Yee and colleagues on the game-changing potential of new technologies that create original content by learning from existing data. Generative-AI systems have achieved public popularity because of their ability to write convincing text and produce artwork, but, increasingly, their business uses are also catching on: early adopters are deploying them to create, among other things, product user guides, IT code and documentation, legal document drafts, and business presentations. Eventually, AI will become “boring,” predicts an Economist article, as the technology is “applied to ever more jobs and company functions.” But right now, generative AI is not a ready-set-go technology, the McKinsey experts warn: “Its nascency requires executives to proceed with an abundance of caution.”
Generative AI may be stealing the headlines, but mainstream AI has yet to make inroads into strategy—and that’s where leaders need it the most, suggests McKinsey senior partner Yuval Atsmon in this episode of our Inside the Strategy Room podcast. “Only 7 percent of respondents to our survey about the use of AI say they use it in strategy or even financial planning,” he says. “In areas like marketing, supply chain, and service operations, it’s 25 or 30 percent.” That may be because executives expect too much from AI capabilities at this stage; out of six possible levels of AI development, only three are currently available. “Where AI can be affordably used in strategy today is for building blocks of the strategy,” says Atsmon. For example, one company uses AI to scan for certain consumer technology usage patterns that could give the business a strategic edge. “It can be a sharp knife that cuts through some of the clutter,” he says.
Lead by managing AI responsibly.

Dispelling the mystery of zero-based budgets
Harmony Internal - McKinsey
An alternative to indiscriminate job cuts Brought to you by Liz Hilton Segel, chief client officer and managing partner, global industry practices, & Homayoun Hatami, managing partner, global client capabilities
Dispelling the mystery of zero-based budgets
Back in 2014, many companies found that their revenues were growing more slowly than their sales, general, and administrative (SG&A) costs were. Controlling those costs became essential. At such times, executives often think they have to make large, arbitrary budget cuts, no matter how imprudent or unsustainable. But a McKinsey team argued that companies had a better choice: zero-based budgeting (ZBB).
ZBB does involve “building a budget from zero,” but it is also very much more: a repeatable process that organizations can use to scrutinize every part of the annual budget, rethink their processes, manage their financial performance, and implant a cost management culture among employees. A best-practice ZBB program exposes all cost drivers and uses the findings to set aggressive but realistic budget targets. Executives and managers can then understand and debate the company’s finances and work.
ZBB can cut SG&A budgets by 10 to 25 percent, often within six months. Yet it remains a mystery for many executives. At a time when businesses are again trying to rein in costs, you’ll want to read “Five myths (and realities) about zero-based budgeting.”Learn how to cut budgets intelligently Michael Birshan and Ishaan Seth, “How ambidextrous leaders manage through volatile times”
Ankur Agrawal, Stefon Burns, Kyle Hawke, and Matt Jochim, “The SG&A imperative in times of crisis”

Executives understand the benefits of customer-centric strategies, but many of them don’t know how to implement one. Read our 2016 classic “Linking the customer experience to value.”
