A generation of change. Born between 1996 and 2010, Gen Z has been shaped by digital technology, climate-related anxiety, and economic uncertainty. As McKinsey’s managing partner for Latin America, Tracy Francis, and partner Fernanda Hoefel note, Gen Z is the first generation to grow up with the internet as a part of daily life. This generation is also known for its social consciousness and activism. As more Gen Zers enter the workforce, they are disrupting traditional workplace norms and pushing for a more flexible and purpose-driven work environment.
•
Tough times. Gen Zers face a range of work-related challenges, including a mental health crisis, financial insecurity, and a rapidly changing job market. They report the highest prevalence of mental health issues of any generation, research by McKinsey partner Erica Hutchins Coe and coauthors find. Many Gen Zers are also pessimistic about their chances of ever buying a home or retiring. Read our McKinsey Explainer “What is Gen Z?” to learn more about this generation’s characteristics and their role in today’s workplace.

The Ultimate Redis 101
Redis is one of the most popular data stores in the world and is packed with features.
Here are 8 simple steps that can help you understand the fundamentals of Redis.
What is Redis?
Redis (Remote Dictionary Server) is a multi-modal database that provides sub-millisecond latency. The core idea behind Redis is that a cache can also act as a full-fledged database.Redis Adoption
High-traffic internet websites like Airbnb, Uber, Slack, and many others have adopted Redis in their technology stack.How Redis Changed the Database Game?
Redis supported main memory read/writes while still supporting fully durable storage. Read and writes are served from the main memory but the data is also persisted to the disk. This is done using snapshots (RDB) and AOF.Redis Data Structures
Redis stores data in key-value format. It supports various data structures such as strings, bitmaps, lists, sets, sorted sets, hash, JSON, etc.Basic Redis Commands
Some of the most used Redis commands are SET, GET, DELETE, INCR, HSET, etc. There are many more commands available.Redis Modules
Redis modules are add-ons that extend Redis functionality beyond its core features. Some prominent modules are RediSearch, RedisJSON, RedisGraph, RedisBloom, RedisAI, RedisTimeSeries, RedisGears, RedisML, and so on.Redis Pub/Sub
Redis also supports even-driven architecture using a publish-subscribe communication model.Redis Use Cases
Top Redis use cases are Distributed Caching, Session Storage, Message Queue, Rate Limiting, High-Speed Database, etc.
Over to you: What else will you add to get a better understanding of Redis?
6 Software Architectural Patterns You Must Know
Choosing the right software architecture pattern is essential for solving problems efficiently.
Layered Architecture
Each layer plays a distinct and clear role within the application context.
Great for applications that need to be built quickly. On the downside, source code can become unorganized if proper rules aren’t followedMicroservices Architecture
Break down a large system into smaller and more manageable components.
Systems built with microservices architecture are fault tolerant. Also, each component can be scaled individually. On the downside, it might increase the complexity of the application.Event-Driven Architecture
Services talk to each other by emitting events that other services may or may not consume.
This style promotes loose coupling between components. However, testing individual components becomes challengingClient-Server Architecture
It comprises two main components - clients and servers communicating over a network.
Great for real-time services. However, servers can become a single point of failure.Plugin-based Architecture
This pattern consists of two types of components - a core system and plugins. The plugin modules are independent components providing a specialized functionality.
Great for applications that have to be expanded over time like IDEs. However, changing the core is difficult.Hexagonal Architecture
This pattern creates an abstraction layer that protects the core of an application and isolates it from external integrations for better modularity. Also known as ports and adapters architecture.
On the downside, this pattern can lead to increased development time and learning curve.
Over to you: Which other architectural pattern have you seen?
Top Eventual Consistency Patterns You Must Know
Eventual consistency is a data consistency model that ensures that updates to a distributed database are eventually reflected across all nodes. Techniques like async replication help achieve eventual consistency.
However, eventual consistency can also result in data inconsistency. Here are 4 patterns that can help you design applications.
Pattern#1 - Event-based Eventual Consistency
Services emit events and other services listen to these events to update their database instances. This makes services loosely coupled but delays data consistency.
Pattern#2 - Background Sync Eventual Consistency
In this pattern, a background job makes the data across databases consistent. It results in slower eventual consistency since the background job runs on a specific schedule.
Pattern#3 - Saga-based Eventual Consistency
Saga is a sequence of local transactions where each transaction updates data with a single service. It is used to manage long-lived transactions that are eventually consistent.
Pattern#4 - CQRS-based Eventual Consistency
Separate read and write operations into different databases that are eventually consistent. Read and write models can be optimized for specific requirements.

The new arenas of competition
The Shortlist
Share this email
Curated by Alex Panas, global leader of industries, & Axel Karlsson, global leader of functional practices and growth platforms
Welcome to the latest edition of the CEO Shortlist, a biweekly newsletter of our best ideas for the C-suite. This week, we feature our latest research on leadership and the emerging industries that will define dynamic growth in the coming years. We appreciate the opportunity to connect and hope you find our perspectives novel and insightful. Please let us know what you think! You can reach us at Alex_Panas@McKinsey.com and Axel_Karlsson@McKinsey.com. Thank you.
—Alex and Axel
Ten years ago, CEOs and top teams typically focused on four or five critical issues at any one point in time. Today, it’s eight or ten. In this fragmented landscape, leading a global organization takes a new kind of focus. Our latest research highlights two important ways CEOs can level up. First, recognize that the personal attributes and best practices of leadership are distinctly different from what they used to be. Second, build a deep bench of talented leaders, using new leadership development approaches to shape, develop, and mentor the next generation of managers.
Certain industries create more value and have a greater impact than others. We call these outperforming industries arenas of competition. A new report from the McKinsey Global Institute identifies 18 future arenas that could reshape the global economy between now and 2040, including AI software and services, future air mobility, drugs for obesity, and robotics. All told, they could generate up to $6 trillion in profits. These fast-growth industries are also defined by high dynamism, meaning market share within them changes hands to an outsize degree. This spells opportunity for modern, focused leadership teams.
We hope you find these ideas inspiring and helpful. See you next time with more McKinsey ideas for the CEO and others in the C-suite.

The expanding space economy. Activity in space is accelerating, and along with it, growth in the burgeoning space economy. By 2035, the global space economy could be worth $1.8 trillion, according to senior partner Ryan Brukardt, who leads McKinsey’s work in the space sector, and coauthors. That’s up from $630 billion in 2023. Key factors propelling this growth include higher demand for greater internet connectivity through satellites, positioning and navigation services on mobile phones, and AI-based insights.

You're invited! Join us for a virtual event on the next big arenas of competition
Share this email
New from McKinsey & Company
Which industries will reshape the global economy in the next 15 years? Over the past two decades, a remarkably small number of industries have significantly transformed the global business landscape. These ‘arenas of competition’ are marked by their outsized growth and shifts in market share.
In a new report, the McKinsey Global Institute used the criteria of high growth and dynamism to identify 18 industries with potential to become the arenas of competition by 2040, spanning AI, space, modular construction, and nonmedical biotech. These arenas are set to reshape many aspects of the global economy and society, including data consumption, health, communication, and mobility, with broader implications for ethics, data privacy, and sustainability. By 2040, these arenas could generate $29-$48 trillion in revenues, $2-$6 trillion in profits, and as much as one-third of global GDP growth.
Join us on Wednesday, November 13 at 12:30PM-1:30PM ET (6:30PM-7:30PM CET) for a virtual event to explore the findings of a new report, The next big arenas of competition, featuring a presentation by the report authors and leading McKinsey experts. The session will explore:•
The specific factors that contribute to the extraordinary growth and dynamism of arenas of competition compared to other industries
•
What strategies companies should adopt to effectively navigate and compete within these emerging arenas of competition, considering the key ingredients of arena creation
•
Lessons learned from the performance of the 12 arenas of today that can be applied to understanding and leveraging the future arenas
•
How the emergence of these 18 future arenas will impact global economic trends and societal structures over the next 15 years

Declining productivity. Simply put, the world needs more productivity growth; it’s the best antidote to wealth inequality, inflation, and debt. But productivity growth has declined since the 2008 global financial crisis. McKinsey senior partner Richard Sellschop and partners Erik Schaefer and Joris Wijpkema explain some reasons why. Technological improvements may be becoming more incremental, while the returns from companies’ investments in restructuring and offshoring have been declining.

How generative AI is transforming B2B sales
Re:think
FRESH TAKES ON BIG IDEAS
ON GENERATIVE AI AND B2B SALES
How generative AI can help B2B sales become more effectiveThe buzz over the past couple of years about AI, especially generative AI (gen AI), has been, at times, overwhelming. There have been a lot of bold predictions about how it will play out. But in the B2B world, people are asking questions about what’s practical. They want to know what to focus on, how to prioritize, how fast to move, and where to make investments. It ultimately comes down to basic business principles. Where is the value in improving the customer experience, getting pricing right, and speeding up responses to customers? And how does it line up with growth?
Gen AI’s value can vary widely across business models and companies. B2B companies that sell to small and medium-size businesses need to focus on customer acquisition and how to grow their customer base, since new entities start up frequently. Companies that sell to larger enterprises need to maintain and expand relationships. Then there are companies that may want to concentrate on personalization and fostering loyalty because their customers want a consumer-like experience focused on brand and products. There’s a lot of power in identifying customer opportunities.
Companies can pull together information about customer needs and their propensity to buy, then use it to autogenerate content. Gen AI can help identify small-business owners who are likely to be interested in a specific product. It can also generate a slide presentation for the pitch and draft an email to send before a meeting. It could even do this in multiple languages. An English speaker who wants to sell to someone who works mostly in Spanish can use gen AI to craft and edit an email, translate it into Spanish, and send it automatically.
A couple of things have surprised me as companies increase their use of gen AI. The first is how hard it is to go from an initial idea to scaled use. Human behavior is really hard to change. When hundreds or thousands of people need to adapt, it can be challenging to instill confidence and trust in new capabilities and get people to effectively refocus their work. The other surprising and amazing thing is how quickly the quality of gen AI output is improving. Even just a few months ago, the level of hallucination (when an AI model produces false or misleading results) was much higher. It’s getting a lot harder to tell the difference between what was generated by a computer or a human.“For every dollar a company spends on technology, it needs to be spending the same, if not more, on the people side.”
There are two common misconceptions I see from B2B companies in the early stages of their gen AI journey. The first is that it’s a straightforward issue for their IT teams. That outlook sets companies up for failure because gen AI has to be addressed deep at the core of how a business is run and how human capital is deployed. The second false notion is that legacy companies often think they don’t need technology solutions because they sell widgets. A decade ago, there were similar beliefs about e-commerce: many B2B players thought it was a consumer thing that wouldn’t impact them. Well, fast-forward to today and we see that e-commerce has grown explosively and is now the preferred B2B channel. That same dynamic is happening now. A lot of folks question whether gen AI is relevant for them. But given the exponential curve with which gen AI capabilities are improving, it’s important to be in the game no matter what the business is.
What could the future look like? So far, the focus has been on how gen AI can make it easier for humans to do certain tasks by automating communications and saving time. The conversation is now pivoting toward improving the customer experience and finding opportunities where a human doesn’t even need to be involved, like using an AI agent chatbot in customer service. Further out, when a commercial organization really embraces gen AI holistically, marketing, sales, and pricing could blend together. That would create an opportunity for people to craft more personalized experiences, helping customers really get value across multiple channels.
It’s important to stay grounded in what matters for customers and what drives them to purchase. For every dollar a company spends on technology, it needs to be spending the same, if not more, on the people side. That means not just upgrading capabilities but also rethinking processes and resource allocation. If companies are clear on how gen AI is going to help the customer, then they can focus on doing what their workforce needs to get the full value out of it.Share Steve Reis’s insights

Continuing challenges. Between trade tensions, attacks on commercial shipping, and delays in automotive production, the supply chain disruptions keep on coming. The latest McKinsey Global Supply Chain Leader Survey suggests that problems such as these remain the norm, not the exception. According to McKinsey partners Knut Alicke and Tacy Foster, nine in ten respondents say they have encountered supply chain challenges in 2024. At the same time, overall investment in supply chain digitization is leveling off after rapid growth between 2020 and 2023.
