Space curious? Get in line.
McKinsey&Company
Space jams In the news • Hot springs and rocket launches. One Japanese region known for its natural hot springs is working to establish itself as an Asian spaceport. A US rocket manufacturer chose the area’s airport, which is being revamped to accommodate rocket launches, for its first satellite launch from Asia, and a US start-up has announced plans to land its crewless space plane there in 2026. Dozens of proposed spaceports across Asia are hoping for space business and the potential of additional revenue from new investments, space tourists, and space talent. [FT] • Fly them to the moon. The global space tourism market is soaring, with offerings including helium balloon trips up to 100,000 feet, astronaut boot camps, and zero-gravity flight simulations. But while the space travel market could be worth an estimated $3 billion by 2030, the first space hotels have yet to be built (although plans exist). And for most would-be space travelers, the prices remain out of this world. [NYT] 
Twenty nations, spanning four continents—Africa, Asia, Europe, and North America—have estimated civil-space spending of more than $100 million each a year. On McKinsey.com • More space. The US has the most space activity and the most space funding in the world; the American civil-space budget is about twice that of the next closest nation and represents more than 40% of the global total. But other countries are getting into the space game: around 70—most recently, Costa Rica, the Philippines, and Rwanda—have established national space agencies to date. New regional agencies include the Latin American and Caribbean Space Agency and the Asia–Pacific Space Cooperation Organization. • Globally galactic. More national and private agencies are sure to come, which means that the potential for increased space activity is extremely high and will require greater international collaboration. Current challenges—including the growing amount of space debris—will intensify, and new ones will surface. McKinsey has compiled a high-level overview of the global space landscape, including an interactive map detailing countries’ space activity, budgets, and number of space start-ups and active satellites. — Edited by Justine Jablonska Look up Was this forwarded to you?

Five questions for airline executives to boost corporate travel

AN ARTICLE A DAY, PICKED BY OUR EDITORS
When it comes to flying, business trips have always been crucial to the airline industry. Before the pandemic, corporate trips made up about 12 percent of air traffic but accounted for about half of the airline sector’s profitability in the US. While carriers may be eager to slash prices and offer steep discounts, there are other data-driven ways to speed up recovery. How can airlines get back on track and make business travel a rewarding experience for all? Check out a new article for suggestions and the five pitfalls to avoid. — Katherine Tam, digital editor, New York

Protecting the climate could create trillions in economic opportunity. Here’s how.
McKinsey&Company
Countdown to net zero In the news • The wrong side of history. A new UN report on climate change indicates that harmful carbon emissions are at a historic high, putting the planet on a pathway to global warming of more than double the 1.5°C target agreed to in the 2015 Paris Agreement. Although carbon pollution temporarily dipped amid the global lockdowns of the early COVID-19 crisis, emissions have since rebounded. However, the report also argues that it is still possible to cut emissions in half by 2030. Creating more walkable cities, electrifying transport, and removing carbon from the atmosphere can help. [WaPo] • Commodities crunch. The war in Ukraine, supply chain snarls, and record-high prices of commodities have led some experts to fear that the world’s transition to clean energy could intensify inflation. Soaring demand for minerals used for electric vehicles, solar panels, wind turbines, and electrical grids could lead to inflationary prices and supply shortages, they say. But while damage from a hotter climate will likely be permanent, a temporary shortfall of critical minerals could be eased through innovation (for instance, creating batteries that use less cobalt) and improving technology and recycling. [Bloomberg] Smart companies recognize the opportunity in sustainability investments, particularly as more stakeholders demand net-zero commitments. On McKinsey.com • A $12 trillion opportunity. Shifting from high- to low-emissions assets could create the largest capital reallocation in history. That would spur booming demand for climate-friendly goods and services, as well as the technologies, equipment, and infrastructure needed to produce them. Eleven value pools—including transport, buildings, power, and water—may generate more than $12 trillion in annual revenues by 2030. • Playing offense is the best defense. As more stakeholders demand net-zero commitments, companies that act quickly can tap into the revenue growth that the transition could bring, while also delivering environmental benefits. Instead of playing defense and trying to minimize sustainability-related risks, companies can create value by going on the offensive—for instance, by building green businesses.

AN ARTICLE A DAY, PICKED BY OUR EDITORS
It’s no surprise that sustainability is on the minds of both companies and consumers. Many companies have made public commitments to sell goods that have less impact on the environment, and consumers want to buy products made from recycled plastics. This may be an opportunity for advanced-recycling technologies, which could expand the recycling landscape and produce plastics that are suited for applications such as packaging for food. Check out a new article that explores how this could be a major win for consumers, companies, and the environment. — Joyce Yoo, digital editor, New York

Birth rates are trending down: Is the population in trouble?
McKinsey&Company
Imagine all the people In the news • What’s the real story? The connection between population and economics can be murky. The US economy is often described as dynamic because the country’s population is more youthful than, say, Japan’s. Between 2000 and 2019, the US economy grew 46% compared with Japan’s 26%. But Japan’s growth occurred despite a declining working-age population, while its per capita growth rate for those aged 16 to 64 was 5% higher than that in the US. Other trends are clearer—for example, declining fertility rates in Europe, South Korea, and the US, which may make economic growth in those regions harder to achieve. [FT] • Not so fast. Fertility isn’t the only factor in population growth or decline. Deaths and immigration are just as important. In 2016, the number of immigrants to the US exceeded the number of people leaving by more than one million. But immigration has since cratered, falling below 250,000 in 2021. And about that declining fertility rate? It’s sometimes regarded as a sign of female empowerment. But that, too, may be simplistic. There’s a growing gap between the number of children Americans say they want and the number of children they have. One possible reason: caring for children has become too expensive. [Atlantic] “One of the coolest things about demography is that it’s a window to our past and a window to our future. It’s the closest thing to a crystal ball that we have.” On McKinsey.com • Billions and billions. Since 1975, the global population has increased by one billion people every 11 to 12 years, and the planet is now approaching the eight-billion-people mark. What does it mean for this many people to exist? It’s easy to cite smart-sounding population stats without really understanding their implications. Fertility, mortality, and migration all influence population trends, but there’s a great divide between richer and poorer countries that affects these three variables, says political-demography expert Dr. Jennifer Sciubba. • Staying close to home. In the book 8 Billion and Counting: How Sex, Death, and Migration Shape Our World, Dr. Sciubba provides an overview of global demographic trends. One discovery: migration is rare. During speaking engagements, she often asks audiences, “What proportion of the world’s population do you think lives outside the country in which they were born?” Most say 20 to 50%, but the right answer for the past 50 years has been 2 to 4%. In a recent conversation with McKinsey, she describes these and other findings and explains why there’s no need to panic about population trends. — Edited by Heather Byer Read between the (trend) lines Was this forwarded to you?

How to stay cool as competition heats up in ice cream and yogurt

AN ARTICLE A DAY, PICKED BY OUR EDITORS
Who doesn’t have a favorite ice cream flavor? But when it can seem like there’s 34 factors to consider in the cold-foods aisle—inflation, your grocery budget, organic versus locally sourced versus a dairy alternative, and what about yogurt?—it can give consumers a headache that’s more than just a brain freeze. The old, steady ice cream and yogurt marketplace is melting away under shifting priorities and quick swap-outs: Gen Z is most likely to abandon their trusty favorites, trading down for cost, or up for premium taste or more natural ingredients. And with the ice cream market roughly tracking the economy, dairy fits the trend of consumers flitting from brand to brand to balance health, wealth, and their own changing tastes. Don’t miss a new article on what ice cream says about us all. — Sarah Skinner, digital editor, New York

Changing behaviors (your own included): A leader’s guide
Leading Off
Share this email
ESSENTIALS FOR LEADERS AND THOSE THEY LEAD
In the arcade game Whac-A-Mole, players whack plastic moles with a mallet as the hapless creatures pop their heads out of burrows, but as soon as they whack one, a new one pops up. That’s similar to what happens when organizations implement behavioral-change programs without preparation: they may pound one mole (behavior) into its hole only to find another immediately rearing its head. Organizations can’t move forward with change unless they can create and reinforce behavioral changes. But the task becomes daunting in a remote or hybrid work environment, which rarely allows for face-to-face reinforcement. This week, let’s focus on what you can do to build the behaviors and capabilities needed to effect lasting change. AN IDEA 
Change behaviors through innovation, skill building, and role modeling In other words: show, don’t tell. At a time when organizations must build new skills to renew themselves, it’s worthwhile for leaders to reinforce a positive environment and different ways of working. During the COVID-19 pandemic, for instance, several companies used the situation as an opportunity to try out new ideas, protect the core of their organizations, and inspire and energize their workers. One organization redeployed 1,000 retail-store employees to internal sales and retrained them in three weeks. Another tried to find temporary jobs for displaced team members by partnering with companies that were expanding their workforces. A leading company donated $10 million to expand online learning, and, in an inspiring example of role modeling, a manufacturer’s top executives deferred between 20 and 50 percent of their salaries.
A BIG NUMBER 43% That’s the share of time that people habitually enact everyday actions, such as shopping or exercising, while thinking about something else, according to research by the Wood Habit Lab at the University of Southern California. Context often triggers habit-forming behavior—for example, the more often a behavior occurs within a certain location, the stronger a habit can become. In the current era of remote and distributed work, location might not help as a trigger, but leaders can still support their teams in building better workplace habits by providing the right context and cues. Changing cues in the environment by using formal mechanisms, such as subtle interventions or behavioral nudges, or offering personalized coaching is a powerful way to disrupt old habits or develop new ones.
A QUOTE “All our life, so far as it has definite form, is but a mass of habits—practical, emotional, and intellectual.” That’s the 19th century psychologist William James on the vast influence that habit wields over people’s daily lives. In his lecture series Talks to Teachers on Psychology, James urged teachers to ensure that their pupils formed good habits that would eventually turn into automatic daily behaviors. Today’s business leaders seeking to cement lasting behavioral change can turn the power of habit to their advantage. Consider the “influence model,” which uses four key actions to win—and keep—employee commitment to organizational transformation. For example, helping people understand why the change is happening, instead of assuming that they already know the reason, can influence them to change their behavior. One way to do this is to develop a change story that describes the company’s new direction and why it is important. Another tactic is to instill a sense of control and competence in people, helping them develop better habits to achieve performance goals.
A SPOTLIGHT INTERVIEW 
Want your change program to succeed? Before putting any formal mechanisms in place or defining any potentially desirable behaviors, understand your employees’ mindsets and why they’re behaving as they are. “As soon as you get into this mindset realm, you get to the root cause of why smart, hardworking, well-intentioned people aren’t already behaving in the way that you want them to behave from a management-practice standpoint,” says McKinsey’s Scott Keller in this podcast. “You’ve unlocked the key to transformation because if you can shift that mindset, people can’t go back.” For example, employees who are convinced that their job is to give customers what they want may perform entirely differently—and better—if they shift their mindset to believing that their job is to add value by helping customers understand what they really need.
OUT OF TUNE 
It’s all too easy to focus solely on employees during a change program. “Leaders can make or break a company transformation,” say the authors of a McKinsey blog on improving leadership teams’ behaviors. Discord among senior leaders can destroy trust, skew priorities, and diminish employee engagement. Only 60 percent of leadership teams report being aligned on their purpose, and although most teams rank consistent communication as a priority, less than 40 percent report practicing it. To boost team harmony, identify and act on three to five behaviors that are most critical to delivering your organization’s value agenda. Lead by behaving well. — Edited by Rama Ramaswami, a senior editor in McKinsey’s Stamford office

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

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
