  Share this email Share this email on LinkedIn   Share this email on Twitter   Share this email on Facebook   ESSENTIALS FOR LEADERS AND THOSE THEY LEAD Brought to you by Liz Hilton Segel, chief client officer and managing partner, global industry practices, & Homayoun Hatami, managing partner, global client capabilities Mergers and acquisitions, when executed well, are one of the most critical tools companies can use to create value. But they’re not always the most popular path to growth. This was certainly true in 2023, a tough year for M&A by many measures. Yet hope springs eternal, thanks to a late-in-the-year rebound in deal activity and continued confirmation that programmatic acquirers (companies that pursue multiple small or midsize acquisitions every year) outperform their competition. This week, we look at the reasons why M&A might matter now more than ever and the ways that companies can prepare for their next deal. AN IDEA M&A is not dead It’s been a volatile few years for the M&A market, which was in a bona fide slump in 2023. While the S&P 500 rose by 24 percent, global deal value and volume were both lower than in the pandemic year of 2020. Despite the glum statistics, McKinsey senior partners Jake Henry and Mieke Van Oostende are optimistic about M&A’s prospects. In their 2024 M&A activity report, they predict a growing appetite for deals due to a few factors: amid major changes in the business environment, M&A is strategically essential to competitiveness; macroeconomic concerns, such as inflation, are tempering; and many investors have a healthy amount of cash on hand. While the M&A opportunity varies by industry and region, the report points to steps that all companies can take to prepare for a potential groundswell of transactions. Among them: reevaluating the company’s M&A themes and strategies (divestitures included) that are most relevant to the business, investing in the capabilities and assets that will support future portfolio changes, and pursuing partnerships and alternative deal types, such as joint ventures, to mitigate potential risks and financing issues. A BIG NUMBER $8.3 trillion That’s how much money the world’s 2,000 largest companies (or the “Global 2000”) spent on deals in the past decade. With the right M&A blueprint and capabilities, the payoff from transactions can be huge. Yet even with so much value at stake, McKinsey’s Ignacio Fantaguzzi and Christopher Handscomb say that one important M&A capability, culture, is often overlooked. “Differences in cultures can exist at any level and can seriously disrupt operations and jeopardize integration,” they say. “Companies may differ in their cultures around decision making—one may have a top-down, directive culture while the other’s is consultative and process-driven.” To practice effective culture management, it’s important for organizations to recognize the differences in how work gets done, decide on a future culture for the integrated company, and develop a change story that will inspire the new culture (and related behavioral changes) to take root. A QUOTE “It’s critical for potential acquirers to take time at the outset to measure both their own organizational health and that of the target company.” That’s McKinsey’s Jeff Rudnicki and colleagues on the virtues of a “healthy” corporate culture in large M&A deals, or transactions in which the deal is worth at least 30 percent of the acquirer’s market capitalization. While the odds for success in large deals are essentially a coin toss, Rudnicki and coauthors explain that a few traits of organizationally healthy acquirers help give these companies a competitive edge: they are rigorous in their selection and management of talent, focused on the deal’s value proposition (and actively communicate that to stakeholders), and disciplined in their process of integrating a target. A SPOTLIGHT INTERVIEW Long-running McKinsey research continues to demonstrate the value of a programmatic approach to M&A, in which dealmaking is treated as a continuous process, rather than an event, that requires a robust set of capabilities. Not only does a programmatic M&A strategy yield consistently better returns than all other approaches to transactions, but it can also be instrumental in boosting a company’s resilience. “To develop that muscle, you need to think about M&A holistically, starting with a link to strategy,” says McKinsey’s Patrick McCurdy in a recent episode of the Inside the Strategy Room podcast with Tobias Lundberg, Jeff Rudnicki, and Joanna Stone Herman, a partner at M&A advisory firm Oaklins DeSilva & Phillips. McCurdy and colleagues also identify what they call “the three Cs”—competitive advantage, conviction, and capacity—which can enable programmatic acquirers to continue pursuing deals, and finding success, even through a downturn. LET THEM EAT CAKE Few mergers are as full of emotion or extravagant desserts as a marriage ceremony. Yet similar to our outlook for corporate deals, the wedding cake forecast is calling for bigger, bolder confections. Perhaps as an antidote to the smaller-scale, pandemic-era celebrations of recent years, some couples are springing for epic sheet cakes that span the length of tables, invoke a bit of nostalgia, and make finding the right pastry chef nearly as important as finding the perfect partner.

  DELIVERING ACTIONABLE INSIGHTS ON THE DAY’S NEWS As only McKinsey can Brought to you by Liz Hilton Segel, chief client officer and managing partner, global industry practices, & Homayoun Hatami, managing partner, global client capabilities Top trends in M&A In the news • 2023 M&A slump. M&A volume around the world slowed in 2023, with many businesses postponing dealmaking amid economic uncertainty, the Wall Street Journal states. Steeper interest rates meant that fewer buyers were willing to pay top dollar to acquire companies, and purchasers and sellers were often unable to settle on a price, bankers and M&A professionals said. Even so, US corporate earnings are increasing, and possible interest rate cuts in 2024 could revitalize M&A activity, experts noted. [WSJ] • Potential pickup in 2024. Global M&A activity in 2023 dipped to a ten-year low as higher interest rates made it costlier for companies to finance acquisitions and as buyers and sellers struggled to see eye to eye on prices, Reuters reports. Cross-border deals have become tougher to complete, since some countries have enacted more complex regulations, according to investment bankers and corporate lawyers. Still, the M&A market looks livelier in 2024, with deal volumes picking up in the fourth quarter of 2023. [Reuters] Global deal value jumped 41% from the third quarter to the fourth quarter of 2023, showing signs of recovery. On McKinsey.com • Vital for growth. M&A dealmakers have weathered a tough year, with global M&A activity in 2023 dropping to $3.1 trillion, a 16% decrease from 2022. Still, CEOs across industries say that M&A is a more vital strategy than ever, McKinsey senior partners Jake Henry and Mieke Van Oostende reveal. Companies that made more than two small to midsize deals annually over ten years through 2022 delivered a median excess TSR of 2.3%, McKinsey’s latest analysis of the world’s 2,000 largest public companies found. • The most active region. The performance of various sectors and regions may indicate which areas of M&A are likely to recover most quickly from the global M&A market’s ten-year low in 2023. The Americas remained the most active market for M&A, accounting for more than half of global activity in 2023. The region also claimed 11 of the world’s 20 largest deals announced in 2023. Consider five steps companies can take now to prepare for what could be a wave of M&A deals in 2024. See strategies for M&A in 2024 — Edited by Belinda Yu, editor, Atlanta Was this forwarded to you?

The cheat sheet below shows a list of guidelines. What is Sensitive Data? Personal Identifiable Information (PII), health information, intellectual property, financial information, education and legal records are all sensitive data. Most countries have laws and regulations that require the protection of sensitive data. For example, the General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) in the European Union sets stringent rules for data protection and privacy. Non-compliance with such regulations can result in hefty fines, legal actions, and sanctions against the violating entity. When we design systems, we need to design for data protection. Encryption & Key Management The data transmission needs to be encrypted using SSL. Passwords shouldn’t be stored in plain text. For key storage, we design different roles including password applicant, password manager and auditor, all holding one piece of the key. We will need all three keys to open a lock. Data Desensitization Data desensitization, also known as data anonymization or data sanitization, refers to the process of removing or modifying personal information from a dataset so that individuals cannot be readily identified. This practice is crucial in protecting individuals' privacy and ensuring compliance with data protection laws and regulations. Data desensitization is often used when sharing data externally, such as for research or statistical analysis, or even internally within an organization, to limit access to sensitive information. Algorithms like GCM store cipher data and keys separately so that hackers are not able to decipher the user data. Minimal Data Permissions To protect sensitive data, we should grant minimal permissions to the users. Often we design Role-Based Access Control (RBAC) to restrict access to authorized users based on their roles within an organization. It is a widely used access control mechanism that simplifies the management of user permissions, ensuring that users have access to only the information and resources necessary for their roles. Data Lifecycle Management When we develop data products like reports or data feeds, we need to design a process to maintain data quality. Data developers should be granted with necessary permissions during development. After the data is online, they should be revoked from the data access. What does ACID mean? The diagram below explains what ACID means in the context of a database transaction. Atomicity The writes in a transaction are executed all at once and cannot be broken into smaller parts. If there are faults when executing the transaction, the writes in the transaction are rolled back. So atomicity means “all or nothing”. Consistency Unlike “consistency” in CAP theorem, which means every read receives the most recent write or an error, here consistency means preserving database invariants. Any data written by a transaction must be valid according to all defined rules and maintain the database in a good state. Isolation When there are concurrent writes from two different transactions, the two transactions are isolated from each other. The most strict isolation is “serializability”, where each transaction acts like it is the only transaction running in the database. However, this is hard to implement in reality, so we often adopt loser isolation level. Durability Data is persisted after a transaction is committed even in a system failure. In a distributed system, this means the data is replicated to some other nodes. SPONSOR US Get your product in front of more than 500,000 tech professionals.

  DELIVERING ACTIONABLE INSIGHTS ON THE DAY’S NEWS As only McKinsey can Brought to you by Liz Hilton Segel, chief client officer and managing partner, global industry practices, & Homayoun Hatami, managing partner, global client capabilities Rediscovering office rituals In the news • Emotional catalysts. Life is full of rituals. They can energize and motivate people, enhancing their lives, according to a Harvard Business School professor. Yet for many employees, the COVID-19 pandemic took away the ubiquity of workplace rituals such as morning meetings or coffee with a work friend, the Financial Times notes. To cope, some remote workers have re-created rituals, such as replacing the commute with walking around their neighborhoods. In the hybrid work world, people working from home can use rituals to provide structure (and meaning). [FT] • The power of a nap. One particularly relaxing—and beloved—ritual is the afternoon nap (yes, even in some office settings). But are naps actually good for you? Researchers have found that the brains of people who nap several times a week are larger than those of people who never nap, according to the BBC. Aging brains shrink, and smaller brains are tied to various negative health effects. Still, it’s best to get excellent nighttime sleep rather than try to compensate for a poor night’s sleep with a nap, a professor of sleep medicine explains. For the perfect power nap, sleep in the midafternoon for up to 20 minutes. [BBC] “Rituals that work tend to have two aspects. One is community building. The second is usually a physical aspect: being together, raising a glass, making a toast.” On McKinsey.com • A lost art? Workplace rituals can bring colleagues together, helping people move beyond “me” to “we,” McKinsey partner Bryan Hancock and senior partner emeritus Bill Schaninger share in an episode of the McKinsey Talks Talent podcast. The pandemic paused many such rituals, to the extent that the youngest cohort in the workforce might not be familiar with them. Rituals can be milestones to celebrate important events, such as making partner or clinching a deal, but they are not limited to major accomplishments. During a routine meeting, colleagues can share cool projects they have worked on that week, helping everyone (particularly younger colleagues) get a feel for the breadth of their work. • Meaningful and inclusive. It’s important to avoid events that the top brass might call “rituals” but that some employees find to be “forced fun,” Hancock shares. One way to make sure rituals are truly meaningful is to bring in elements of mindfulness and gratitude—for instance, through volunteering together, employees do a good deed while building bonds. Being inclusive is important, too. Not everyone drinks, so a happy hour that includes both alcohol and mocktails can be a great option. Explore the benefits successful workplace rituals can bring.

This shift has been driven by the rapid increase of online content and the growing demand for personalized, relevant experiences. Let’s dive into the four pivotal stages for this evolution. In the mid-1990s, search engines like Yahoo! were rudimentary, focusing on text-based searches with basic algorithms for indexing web pages. The search results were ranked based on keyword matches without considering the user’s context or personal preferences. This phase was about cataloging the burgeoning web content as the internet started its exponential growth. Enter Google with its PageRank algorithm, revolutionizing search by evaluating not just keyword relevance but also the quality and quantity of page links. This significantly improved the relevance and quality of search results, marking a leap forward in information retrieval.  As the internet grew, search engines started to incorporate more nuanced data, including users’ search histories, locations, and devices, to refine search results. This period also introduced diverse content types – images, videos, and news – directly into search results, making the experience more personal and comprehensive. However, this increased personalization also sparked privacy and data protection concerns. Today, we’re in an era dominated by AI and machine learning, powering recommendation systems that suggest content not based on explicit queries but on users’ past behaviors, preferences, and interactions. Giants like YouTube, Netflix, and Amazon rely on these systems to enhance engagement and drive sales. Recommendation systems represent a significant shift from user-initiated information retrieval to active content curation. In the past, there wasn’t so much content online, and users could easily discover content through keyword-based searches. Now, with the internet’s vast expanses of data, platforms compete for users’ attention, and recommendation systems play a crucial role in filtering and presenting personalized content. It’s often quipped that these systems know us better than we know ourselves. In this issue, we’ll explore the inner workings of recommendation systems and their pivotal role in driving a company’s revenue. Stay tuned as we uncover the secrets behind how YouTube and other platforms tailor content to captivate and engage their audiences.  1 Why Do We Need Recommendation Systems? Recommendation systems are everywhere these days. Whether shopping on Amazon, binge-watching on YouTube or scrolling through TikTok, these systems curate content specifically for us, potentially leading to hours of engagement. But why are these systems so crucial, especially for platforms like YouTube?  At the heart of platforms like YouTube is a dynamic ecosystem involving content creators, viewers, and advertisers. Content creators produce videos, viewers consume this content, and advertisers aim to capture viewers’ attention. Recommendation systems play a pivotal role in enhancing this ecosystem, attracting more creators, viewers, and advertisers.  The diagram below shows the effects of a recommendation system on the YouTube platform. Without recommendation systems, viewers would have to sift through content to find what interests them, while advertisers manually searched for their ideal audience. This made discovery cumbersome and less effective, with many views and advertisers missing out on potentially perfect matches. Smart recommendation systems transform the experience by leveraging algorithms that analyze various data points – view history, user profiles, trending topics, and recommendations from friends – to personalize content for viewers. This tailored approach means viewers are more likely to engage deeply with content, encouraging creators to produce more and advertisers to invest more, thanks to better targeting and higher conversion rates. Consider an e-commerce giant like Amazon, where recommendation systems personalize product suggestions. Even a 1% improvement in their recommendation accuracy can translate into tens of millions in sales revenue daily. This massive impact underscores why major companies continually invest in enhancing their recommendation algorithms and models. The investment in recommendation systems isn't just about boosting sales or viewer numbers; it's about enriching user experiences and fostering user retention. These systems are designed to understand and anticipate user preferences which create a more engaging and personalized online experience. 2 How Does a Recommendation System Select For Us? Now that we understand the role of a recommendation system in enhancing a business’s ecosystem, let’s dive deeper into how these systems curate content for us. At the heart of a recommendation system is a deep-learning model designed to predict user preferences for specific videos. This involves scoring and ranking videos, integrating advertisements, and generating the final set of recommendations. Unlike simpler models, a deep learning-based system can more accurately mimic the complex process of human decision-making for content selection. To train the model to predict user preferences accurately, it’s essential to analyze data from three key sources: Videos: Considering the vast size of video data, the model leverages various attributes such as video descriptions, tags, actual content, and viewer impressions to derive video features. Users: Understanding user preferences is crucial. This is achieved by analyzing static data, like user profiles, and dynamic data, including interaction patterns like clicks and social network interactions. Context: Contextual factors, such as location and time, deeply impact content preferences. The model considers these elements to fine-tune its suggestions.

  DELIVERING ACTIONABLE INSIGHTS ON THE DAY’S NEWS As only McKinsey can Brought to you by Liz Hilton Segel, chief client officer and managing partner, global industry practices, & Homayoun Hatami, managing partner, global client capabilities Improving Black residents’ lives In the news • Dwindling community legacies. Settlements founded by previously enslaved people, generally in the late 19th to early 20th centuries, are considered historic Black communities. Once numbering over 1,200 in the US, these communities have dwindled to fewer than 30. Their challenges to remaining vibrant have ranged from historical destruction of homes and businesses by White supremacists to recent causes such as uneven tax rates, home devaluations, and gentrification. [AP] • Black and ‘kinless.’ Almost one million Americans are kinless—no spouse, siblings, or children—and Black women not only have the highest rates of kinlessness but also have lower levels of wealth than other US groups, according to a 2017 study. To boot, US policies for singles are economically detrimental, experts say. Married people have more social-safety-net benefits and protections than single people do, which one psychologist considers “fundamentally unjust.” However, Black Americans are more likely to have support from extended family members, according to a study. [Fortune] For Black Americans to reach parity with their White neighbors, based on the rate of change between 2012 and 2021, it could take more than three centuries. On McKinsey.com • Racial-parity improvement? Despite some progress toward racial parity for Black Americans, large disparities with their White counterparts persist. “There is nowhere in the US where outcomes for Black residents equal those of their White neighbors,” McKinsey senior partner Shelley Stewart and coauthors share. Across seven community profiles, they analyzed residents’ aspirations, including basic standard of living, financial stability, and stable and secure homes. The report reveals that the greatest overall outcomes and Black residential parity exist within the nation’s suburbs and exurbs; however, less than 12% of Black Americans live in these areas. • Solutions are needed. About 15% of Black Americans reside in rural communities, which rank close to the bottom of the report’s outcome scores—with 28 to 32% poverty and food insecurity rates and lower life expectancies (74 to 75 years). Among all Black Americans, more than 30% live in 12 megacities with higher incomes, strong job markets, and growing industries; however, those areas also have a high cost of living and greater inequality. See the report, The state of Black residents: The relevance of place to racial equity and outcomes, for revealing data on what it will take to improve the overall well-being of Black residents and ultimately achieve racial equity.

• How are higher costs affecting US consumers?

  On Point

  5 strategies for consumer brands ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌   ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌   ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌   ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌   ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌   ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌   ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌   ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌   ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ 

  DELIVERING ACTIONABLE INSIGHTS ON THE DAY’S NEWS As only McKinsey can Brought to you by Liz Hilton Segel, chief client officer and managing partner, global industry practices, & Homayoun Hatami, managing partner, global client capabilities Cost-conscious US consumers In the news • Maintaining higher prices. US shoppers are getting somewhat of a break from rising prices as the costs of commodities decline, the Wall Street Journal states. Still, many executives—including leaders of US food, retail, and toy brands—suggest that their companies will stay the course on prices while they continue to pay more for labor, transportation, and other overhead costs. In January, core consumer prices increased 3.9% compared with the previous year, a recent government report found. [WSJ] • US retail sales slip. US retail sales dipped 0.8% in January as consumers reined in spending after the holidays, Bloomberg reports. Although consumers are expected to curb spending in 2024, the continued strength of the labor market should support a gradual decline, and not a significant breakdown in spending, analysts said. Nine of 13 categories reported declining sales, with building materials stores and auto dealers experiencing the biggest drops, official data showed. [Bloomberg] Increased prices were the number-one reason consumers reported purchasing fewer items in grocery, personal care, and household products. On McKinsey.com • Choosier consumers. US consumers are becoming choosier despite a relatively strong economy and low unemployment, McKinsey senior partner Warren Teichner and coauthors reveal. Although Americans are shopping as frequently—if not more often—as they were a year ago, they are buying fewer items on each trip. Between 2022 and 2023, units per trip declined by 3 to 5% across the grocery, health and beauty, and household categories. • Bargain hunting. When asked why their shopping behaviors changed, one thing was clear: prices weighed on US consumers’ decision making. Consumers cited product price hikes and their ability to afford something as the key reasons behind purchasing fewer items across categories. Consumers said they also reduced the number of items they purchased because they were waiting for them to go on sale.

• Banks can face risks and opportunities head-on

  On Point

  DELIVERING ACTIONABLE INSIGHTS ON THE DAY’S NEWS As only McKinsey can Brought to you by Liz Hilton Segel, chief client officer and managing partner, global industry practices, & Homayoun Hatami, managing partner, global client capabilities Banking’s changing landscape In the news • Old fraud, new tricks. Scammers pretending to be customers are nothing new in banking, but as technology—including deepfakes and voice cloning—becomes more commonplace and easier to use, experts say banks will need to do more to prevent fraud, the Financial Times notes. Deepfake videos are already being used as clickbait to send consumers to malicious websites, where scammers can grab their card payment details, researchers say. [FT] • Monitoring AI risk. US financial regulators have flagged risks posed by AI as a concern, warning that both companies and watchdogs need to be vigilant, reports Reuters. The regulators have pointed to external data sets and third parties when it comes to judging potential risks, since gen AI increasingly uses them. Financial leaders should “deepen expertise and capacity to monitor AI innovation and usage,” the authorities said. [Reuters] “By exploiting new technology, banks can boost productivity within six to 12 weeks, a massive change from what we have seen in the past.” On McKinsey.com • App happy. Despite challenges, the past 18 months have been the best period for global banking since at least 2007. But this is no time for complacency, McKinsey senior partner Alex Edlich and partner Reinhard Höll share on a recent episode of The McKinsey Podcast. To build on this momentum, they say, banks can meet customers where they are, which is often on third-party apps. Up to 30% of distribution in retail banking could end up taking place via third parties, such as online comparison platforms and embedded finance, McKinsey estimates. • Competing on technology. When it comes to making changes in technology, banks need to make sure the entire organization is on board, Höll advises. After implementing generative AI, the top 25% of banks experienced a large increase in coders’ productivity, while the bottom 25% of banks “saw an initial decrease because they didn’t take the people along,” Höll says.
