How to put customers at the center of growth
On McKinsey Perspectives
An integrated approach Brought to you by Alex Panas, global leader of industries, & Axel Karlsson, global leader of functional practices and growth platforms
Welcome to the latest edition of Only McKinsey Perspectives. We hope you find our insights useful. Let us know what you think at Alex_Panas@McKinsey.com and Axel_Karlsson@McKinsey.com.

Fragmented roles. Business leaders are always seeking new avenues for growth, but the expansion of executive teams—and fragmentation of C-suite responsibilities—makes this work more and more challenging. It’s not always clear who in the organization is accountable to the customer. Even if the C-suite includes a single customer- or growth-oriented role, such as a CMO, that person doesn’t always have sole responsibility for acquiring customers. CEOs who empower CMOs as strategic partners and enable marketing leaders to partner with CFOs can help companies foster innovation and achieve sustainable growth, McKinsey Senior Partner Kelsey Robinson and coauthors explain.

The Generative AI Tech Stack
GenAI refers to systems capable of creating new content, such as text, images, code, or music, by learning patterns from existing data. Here are the key building blocks for GenAI Tech Stack:
Cloud Hosting & Inference: Providers like AWS, GCP, Azure, and Nvidia offer the infrastructure to run and scale AI workloads.
Foundational Models: Core LLMs (such as GPT, Claude, Mistral, Llama, Gemini, Deepseek) trained on massive data, form the base for all GenAI applications.
Frameworks: Tools like LangChain, PyTorch, and Hugging Face help build, deploy, and integrate models into apps.
Databases and Orchestration: Vector DBs (such as Pinecone, Weaviate), orchestration tools (such as LangChain, LlamaIndex) manage memory, retrieval, and logic flow.
Fine-Tuning: Platforms like Weights & Biases, OctoML, and Hugging Face enable training models for specific tasks or domains.
Embeddings and Labeling: Services like Cohere, Scale AI, Nomic, and JinaAI help generate and label vector representations to power search and RAG systems.
Synthetic Data: Tools like Gretel, Tonic AI, and Mostly AI create artificial datasets to enhance training.
Model Supervision: Monitor model performance, bias, and behavior. Tools such as Fiddler, Helicone, and WhyLabs help.
Model Safety: Helps ensure ethical, secure, and safe deployment of GenAI systems. Solutions like LLM Guard, Arthur AI, and Garak help with this.
Over to you: What else will you add to this list?

Database Index Types Every Developer Should Know
A database index is a derived structure that maps column values to the physical locations of rows in a table. Let’s look at some key index types:
Primary Index
This index is automatically created when a primary key is defined on a table. Such an index can be dense as well as sparse, though sparse is preferred in most scenarios.A dense index contains one entry for every row in the table. On the other hand, a sparse index contains entries for only some rows in the table.
Clustered Index
A clustered index determines the physical order of rows in a table. Only one clustered index can exist on a table because data can only be stored in one order at a time. It is great for range queries, ordered scans, and I/O efficiency.Secondary Index
A non-clustered index is a separate structure that holds a copy of one or more columns along with pointers to the actual rows in the table. It doesn’t affect how data is physically stored, and it can use the primary index to locate the records.
Over to you: Which other index type will you add to the list?
The Agentic AI Learning Roadmap
An AI Agent is a system capable of autonomous actions, reacting to its environment, using tools (APIs, Internet, code, etc), and can work under human guidance.
To build AI agents, one must know tools like Python, Jupyter, PyTorch, and GitHub Copilot. These enable coding, experimentation, and integration with AI libraries and APIs.
GenAI Foundational Models
Familiarity with large models like GPT, Gemini, LLaMa, DeepSeek, and Claude is essential. These models provide the base intelligence that agents can use for reasoning, generation, and understanding.AI Agent Development Stack
Tools like Langchain, AutoGen, Crew AI, and frameworks like Semantic Kernel and Hugging Face power agent workflows. These components manage tasks, memory, and external tool integrations in agent pipelines.API Design
Understanding API design approaches like REST, GraphQL, gRPC, and SOAP is crucial to building interoperable agents. Key concepts include HTTP methods, status codes, versioning, cookies, headers, and caching.Type of AI Agents
Learn about the several types of AI agents, such as simple reflex, model-based reflex, goal-based, utility-based, and learning agents. Each varies in complexity.AI Agent System Architecture
AI agents can operate as single agents, in multi-agent systems, or in human-machine collaboration. Architecture depends on the use case.
Over to you: What else will you add to the AI Agent Learning Roadmap?
12 MCP Servers You Can Use in 2025
MCP (Model Context Protocol) is an open standard that simplifies how AI models, particularly LLMs, interact with external data sources, tools, and services. An MCP server acts as a bridge between these AI models and external tools. Here are the top MCP servers:
File System MCP Server
Allows the LLM to directly access the local file system to read, write, and create directories.GitHub MCP Server
Connects Claude to GitHub repos and allows file updates, code searching.Slack MCP Server
MCP Server for Slack API, enabling Claude to interact with Slack workspaces.Google Maps MCP Server
MCP Server for Google Maps API.Docker MCP Server
Integrate with Docker to manage containers, images, volumes, and networks.Brave MCP Server
Web and local search using Brave’s Search API.PostgreSQL MCP Server
An MCP server that enables LLM to inspect database schemas and execute read-only queries.Google Drive MCP Server
An MCP server that integrates with Google Drive to allow reading and searching over files.Redis MCP Server
MCP Server that provides access to Redis databases.Notion MCP Server
This project implements an MCP server for the Notion API.Stripe MCP Server
MCP Server to interact with the Stripe API.Perplexity MCP Server
An MCP Server that connects to Perplexity’s Sonar API for real-time search.
Over to you: Which other MCP Server will you add to the list?

INTRODUCTION:
In this compact but value filled workshop, we look at the right strategies on how to reduce cost in a structured manner.
Cost reduction is so much more than just cost control and cost cutting. True cost management is about being aware of costs, seeking to reduce them through good design and efficient operating practices whilst taking continuing action on overspending. MCPD (Manufacturing Cost Policy Deployment) addresses how to handle cost reduction challenges in a structured and proven approach.
Lean approach shows a systematic method to identify and eliminate wastes (non-value added activity) rather than direct cost reduction which might impact our operations and services adversely.
COURSE OBJECTIVES:
1. Understand what is MCPD (Manufacturing Cost Policy Deployment).
2. How to continuously move towards being a profitable organization under every conceivable scenario?
3. Cost reduction vs waste reduction.
4. How to Identify areas that have potential for waste reduction?
5. Setting priorities for waste reduction step by step in a systematic manner.
6. Becoming aware of the current value stream and bottleneck areas for cutting costs.
7. Establishing methodologies for planning and implementing performance measurement.
8. Methods to maintain the cost reduction gains and have continuous improvement.
9. How can the Six Sigma DMAIC approach lower costs and improve quality?
10. How to use the 11 pillars of Industry 4.0 for cost reduction?
INTENDED AUDIENCE:
1. CEO
2. Directors
3. Managers
4. Section Heads
5. Engineers and Executives
6. Suitable for all Manufacturing, Business and Service organization
METHODOLOGY:
1. The workshop is a mixture of presentation with personal examples, assessment, discussions and group activities.
2. Training will be conducted online using Virtual Platform.
3. Activities will be given throughout the training for better understanding.
4. Participants to develop customized cost reduction strategy with inputs from facilitator.
OUTLINE OF WORKSHOP
DAY 1 (9.00am—5.00pm)
