Public–private–philanthropic partnerships are taking on today’s climate challenges
On Point
A framework for multistakeholder models Brought to you by Liz Hilton Segel, chief client officer and managing partner, global industry practices, & Homayoun Hatami, managing partner, global client capabilities
•
Ramping up climate finance. Emerging economies are often the most at risk to endure damage from climate change. For years, leaders have struggled to agree on how best to fund sustainability efforts in developing nations. Now, however, governments, investors, and multilateral banks are showing renewed interest in becoming a part of the solution. With investment in clean-energy technologies surging to $1.7 trillion in 2023, there’s an opportunity for investors to explore funding climate initiatives in less wealthy regions. [Reuters]
•
Promising partnerships. The need for urgent action on climate change is increasingly felt across the world. Public–private–philanthropic partnerships, or 4P models, are emerging to tackle climate and nature challenges. These partnerships can, however, take a significant effort. To learn what issues may justify that effort, McKinsey analyzed more than 50 partnerships and hundreds of climate and nature solutions. Thirty-one areas are primed for high and immediate impact through 4P models, McKinsey senior partner Hamid Samandari and coauthors explain.

Offices sit vacant as hybrid work persists. Can leaders reenvision real estate?
On Point
The future of real estate Brought to you by Liz Hilton Segel, chief client officer and managing partner, global industry practices, & Homayoun Hatami, managing partner, global client capabilities
•
Making over downtowns. According to experts, US downtowns are experiencing their most substantial transformation in half a century. In the 20th century, city skylines were upgraded from factories to office skyscrapers, transforming the source of cities’ economic vitality. Today, the work-from-home trend has led to over one billion square feet of empty office space throughout the US, which developers hope to turn into housing. One city plans to convert 7%, or 2.4 million square feet, of its office space into apartments and other spaces. [WSJ]
•
Neighborhoods transformed. New research from the McKinsey Global Institute reveals that hybrid work is now a work–life staple. It has affected where we work, live, shop, and socialize, and creates opportunities for a real estate rethink. A substantial number of knowledge workers would prefer to resign or accept a pay cut rather than come into the office more, senior partners Aditya Sanghvi and Jonathan Woetzel share on an episode of The McKinsey Podcast. By 2030, the total value of office space could be 26–42% lower in the nine cities studied, a potential loss of $800 billion in office real estate value.
•
Real estate, reimagined. There’s a big variation in how cities have been affected by the shift to hybrid work, Sanghvi says. Places that include a good mix of retail, restaurants, housing, and offices are potentially experiencing higher demand. With the decline in office space demand, affordable housing can be reassessed. By reconsidering the affordability of the neighborhood, perhaps the “single biggest piece” of household expenditure—rent—can be addressed. Listen to the episode of The McKinsey Podcast, “The future of real estate in a hybrid world,” to discover more ways real estate may be transformed in the future.

Workload consolidation of virtual PLCs and AI-applications on Intel® platforms
Live Virtual Training
Thursday, December 7, 2023
08:30 am - 09:45 am PTRegister Now Historically, across automated manufacturing floors, many individually computerized and de-centralized workloads, such as image processing, computer vision, networking, AI-inference and others, drove machine operations with different levels of control that enabled manufacturers to scale.
With the Internet of Things (IoT) and digitalization transforming industrial operations, more and more of these controls such as PLC, HMI, PAC, etc are now being centralized onto a common compute platform. Companies seek new ways to consolidate technologies and workloads, processing into as few physical components as possible. Such industry requirements form the basis of industry 4.0 modernization and give way to the principles of software-defined manufacturing on workload consolidation.
Workload consolidation unites multiple computerized operations onto fewer platforms, replacing separate purpose-built hardware machines with a smaller foundation of general-purpose compute technologies. Reducing hardware infrastructure and utilizing more of existing resources helps to optimize operations.
Virtual PLC is one of the most efficient and trending solution to consolidate control applications for Industrial Automation equipment and using containerization or virtualization multiple virtual PLCs, HMIs and AI workloads can run on the same single hardware. In this session you will learn about:
- Workload consolidation concept and modern Intel® Time Coordinated Computing capabilities
- CODESYS Virtual Control
- OpenVINO™Toolkit and how to run OpenVINO™ based applications in containers.
- Live demo consolidating a CODESYS Virtual PLC and an AI-application on the same hardware.

Is your organization addressing holistic health? A leader’s guide
Having it all Brought to you by Liz Hilton Segel, chief client officer and managing partner, global industry practices, & Homayoun Hatami, managing partner, global client capabilities
For many organizations, managing employee health may no longer be just about providing adequate compensation and benefits. As McKinsey experts point out, “a large and growing body of research is catching up to a few thousand years of philosophical and religious teachings that recognize the linkages among body, mind, and spirit.” Leaders may need to embrace a broader vision of health that enables individuals to live and function fully, not just in the workplace but as productive members of their communities and society as a whole, too. Here are some ways to get started.
Ever since the pandemic highlighted the urgency of addressing worker burnout, companies have expanded their efforts to create a better work environment, including a greater focus on areas such as employee purpose and motivation. But organizations may need to go beyond that. New research led by McKinsey senior partner Drew Ungerman and colleagues finds that experiencing holistic health—growing and developing across physical, mental, social, and spiritual dimensions—may make workers more innovative and productive. To measure and improve holistic health, leaders may need to consider two critical factors: demands, which are workplace challenges, and enablers, which offset challenges and boost employees’ positive energy. Organizations can design interventions that address both—for example, job redesign or fine-tuning could be enablers that mitigate the demands of a heavy workload.
That’s the percentage of Gen Z respondents to a McKinsey survey who report not seeking treatment for a behavioral-health diagnosis, compared with just 9 percent of Gen Xers and 8 percent of baby boomers. With Gen Z expected to outstrip boomers in the workforce by 2024 and possibly millennials by the 2040s, the wellness of this group will likely be of paramount concern to employers. “By taking a tailored, generational approach to designing messages, products, and services, stakeholders can meaningfully improve the behavioral health of Gen Z and help them achieve their full potential,” suggest McKinsey partners Erica Coe, Jenny Cordina, and colleagues.
That’s from our expert insights on brain health in our McKinsey Explainers series. Optimal brain health includes positive mental health, resilience, and the ability to work productively; diminished brain health may involve conditions such as mental illness and substance use disorders, which can disable people for life and shorten life spans. Our research shows that an estimated 60 percent of employees have experienced at least one mental health challenge at some point in their lives. Unfair treatment, unsustainable workloads, toxic workplaces, and other stressors can worsen brain health conditions. “Employers are important stakeholders in the brain health ecosystem,” note our experts.
It may come as a surprise to some leaders that as many as 50 percent of workers may be dissatisfied in their roles—potentially eroding the morale and productivity of other employees. Coupled with lingering mental health issues following the pandemic, disengagement can leave people feeling lonely and isolated at work, observes McKinsey senior partner Aaron De Smet in a podcast. “When you look at the factors that induce engagement versus disengagement, at the top of the list are meaningful work and compensation,” he says. But three other elements—a supportive network of people, a safe environment, and an inclusive workplace—are even more important, De Smet adds. “If you don’t have them, people are going to find it difficult to get to that level of engagement that really helps increase productivity and performance.”
Despite upheavals in the economy and the world, people continue to leave their jobs at a vigorous rate—occasionally in destructive ways. “Understanding what drives resignation behavior is particularly important for companies,” note the authors of a Harvard Business Review article. “How well you take care of your employees does not just predict whether or not they will voluntarily quit their job, but it also determines how they will go about leaving.” Ugly resignations can harm an organization’s reputation and destroy morale. To counter this, leaders may need to create a culture that encourages constructive behavior, suggests McKinsey associate partner Bonnie Dowling: “Think about what it is you can do, how you can make a concerted effort to show employees you care about who they are.”
Lead holistically.

Six priorities could help leaders create value in the net-zero transition
On Point
Pursuing green growth Brought to you by Liz Hilton Segel, chief client officer and managing partner, global industry practices, & Homayoun Hatami, managing partner, global client capabilities
•
Cleaner mining. At a time when companies are clamoring for critical inputs needed for the clean-energy transition, greenhouse gas emissions within the mining industry are set to increase. But some miners, facing pressure from customers who seek greener supply chains, are limiting their reliance on fossil fuels. Rather than using diesel, the Indonesia-based subsidiary of a global mining company powers its smelters using hydroelectricity. That switch can prevent about 1.1 million tons of emissions from entering the atmosphere each year, the company said. [AP]
•
Steadfast on sustainability. Navigating the net-zero economy has become more complicated over the past 12 months amid supply chain pressures and lackluster economic growth. For some leaders, the current pressures are creating tension between near-term financial performance and net-zero commitments. Despite the headwinds, leaders can make bold moves to create value in the net-zero transition, vaulting past those that may slow down their sustainability efforts, McKinsey senior partner Tomas Nauclér and coauthors explain.
•
Powerful priorities. McKinsey research on the 2007–08 financial crisis reveals the moves companies made that contributed to superior performance. To reap the benefits of a net-zero economy, leaders can consider a set of priorities that combine the tactics of the best-performing companies of the 2007–08 crisis with actions taken by early sustainability leaders—such as building and scaling new green businesses. Discover six priorities that can enable organizations to play offense in the net-zero transition and generate growth.

Securing a successful net-zero transition
Plus, the CFO’s guide to generative AI Though momentum has been meaningful, the world is still not on track to meet the goals of the 2015 Paris Agreement, which include limiting the rise of global warming to well below 2.0°C (and ideally to no more than 1.5°C) relative to preindustrial levels. How can stakeholders reduce the odds of initiating the most catastrophic impacts of climate change? As global leaders gather for COP28, the United Nations’ annual conference on climate change, check out this month’s first featured story from McKinsey’s Mekala Krishnan, Sven Smit, Humayun Tai, Daniel Pacthod, Tomas Nauclér, Blake Houghton, Jesse Noffsinger, and Dirk Simon. In the report, the authors outline principles that can guide stakeholders in addressing the four key objectives of the net-zero transition simultaneously—and even help accelerate the progress of the transition. Our second featured story proposes ten key requirements for a systemic approach to climate adaptation. Other highlights in this month’s issue include the following topics:

How Git Works: Explained in 4 Minutes
Linux Boot Process Explained
Almost every software engineer has used Linux before, but only a handful know how its Boot Process works :) Let's dive in.
The diagram below shows the steps.Step 1 - When we turn on the power, BIOS (Basic Input/Output System) or UEFI (Unified Extensible Firmware Interface) firmware is loaded from non-volatile memory, and executes POST (Power On Self Test).
Step 2 - BIOS/UEFI detects the devices connected to the system, including CPU, RAM, and storage.
Step 3 - Choose a booting device to boot the OS from. This can be the hard drive, the network server, or CD ROM.
Step 4 - BIOS/UEFI runs the boot loader (GRUB), which provides a menu to choose the OS or the kernel functions.
Step 5 - After the kernel is ready, we now switch to the user space. The kernel starts up systemd as the first user-space process, which manages the processes and services, probes all remaining hardware, mounts filesystems, and runs a desktop environment.
Step 6 - systemd activates the default. target unit by default when the system boots. Other analysis units are executed as well.
Step 7 - The system runs a set of startup scripts and configure the environment.

The Evolving Landscape of API Protocols in 2023
This is a brief summary of the blog post I wrote for Postman.
In this blog post, I cover the six most popular API protocols: REST, Webhooks, GraphQL, SOAP, WebSocket, and gRPC. The discussion includes the benefits and challenges associated with each protocol.
Thank you, Abhinav Asthana, Rebecca Johnston-Gilbert, K.C. Patrick 💥 📈, Mackenzie Lawson, Kevin Keene, Ashley Lowe for the great collaboration.

Queues are popular data structures used widely in the system. The diagram below shows 4 different types of queues we often use.
Simple FIFO Queue
A simple queue follows FIFO (First In First Out). An new element is inserted at the tail of the queue, and an element is removed from the head of the queue.
If we would like to send out email notifications to the users whenever we receive a payment response, we can use a FIFO queue. The emails will be sent out in the same order as the payment responses.Circular Queue
A circular queue is also called a circular buffer or a ring buffer. Its last element is linked to the first element. Insertion takes place at the front of the queue and deletion at the end of the queue.
A famous implementation is LMAX’s low-latency ring buffer. Trading components talk to each other via a ring buffer. This is implemented in memory and super fast.Priority Queue
The elements in a priority queue have predefined priorities. We take the element with the highest (or lowest) priority from the queue. Under the hood, it is implemented using a max heap or a min heap where the element with the largest or lowest priority is at the root of the heap.
A typical use case is assigning patients with the highest severity to the emergency room while others to the regular rooms.Deque
Deque is also called double-ended queue. The insertion and deletion can happen at both the head and the tail. Deque supports both FIFO and LIFO (Last In First Out), so we can use it to implement a stack data structure.
Over to you: Which type of queue have you used?
A Brief Overview of Kubernetes
Kubernetes, often referred to as K8S, extends far beyond simple container orchestration. It's an open-source platform designed to automate deploying, scaling, and operating application containers.
Where Docker Lags, Kubernetes Excels
Docker revolutionized containerization, making it accessible and standardized. However, when it comes to managing a large number of containers across different servers, Docker can fall short. Kubernetes steps in here, providing a more robust, cluster-based environment for managing containerized applications at scale. It offers high availability, load balancing, and a self-healing mechanism, ensuring applications are always operational and efficiently distributed.Solving the Container Management Puzzle
The primary problem Kubernetes solves is the complexity of managing multiple containers across various servers. It automates the distribution and scheduling of containers on a cluster, handles scaling requirements, and ensures a consistent environment across development, testing, and production.
Kubernetes' Container Runtime Interface (CRI) is a significant leap forward, enabling users to plug in different container runtimes without recompiling Kubernetes. This flexibility means organizations can choose from a variety of runtimes like Docker, containerd, CRI-O, and others, depending on their specific needs.

Net zero must also be net affordable, net reliable, net competitive
The Shortlist
Four new insights Curated by Liz Hilton Segel, chief client officer and managing partner, global industry practices, & Homayoun Hatami, managing partner, global client capabilities
COP28 is here. Thousands of CEOs and other leaders have touched down in Dubai to take stock of progress toward net zero and forge ahead to a better future. In this special sustainability edition of the CEO Shortlist, we offer our latest research on one of the world’s biggest problems. We hope you enjoy the read.
—Liz and Homayoun
Let’s get real. The real estate industry accounts for around 40 percent of global emissions. The good news is that the technology to replace oil burners and coal furnaces and dramatically improve energy efficiency already exists. It’s just a matter of deploying it.
How? Check out A new way to decarbonize buildings can lower emissions—profitably, a fresh take by Brodie Boland, Daniel Cramer, Alastair Green, Darya Guettler, Focko Imhorst, and Marita Winslade.All for one, one for all? Not since Alexandre Dumas has the world hoped for so much from the meetup of three plus one. Emissions reduction is the stated goal of net zero. But companies and society will need to account for three other goals too: affordability, reliability, and industrial competitiveness. What will be the denouement?
En garde. Take a stance with An affordable, reliable, competitive path to net zero, by Mekala Krishnan, Humayun Tai, Daniel Pacthod, Sven Smit, Tomas Nauclér, Blake Houghton, Jesse Noffsinger and Dirk Simon.Alone, you can go fast. Together, you can go far. When it comes to tackling global warming, cooperation is not just a nice-to-have. But how can we ensure the solutions will justify the considerable effort of rallying disparate entities with competing priorities?

What is the global stocktake?

Focus on fossil fuels. In 2030, countries across the globe are expected to produce roughly twice the amount of fossil fuels than would be allowed under global warming goals set in 2015, according to a new UN report. Phasing out fossil fuels is “one of the pivotal issues” that UN member nations are discussing at COP28, said a scientist and one of the report’s main authors. None of the world’s 20 biggest fossil fuel producers have agreed to limit coal, gas, and oil production to levels consistent with keeping global warming to 1.5°C. [Reuters]
•
Cutting greenhouse gases. The global stocktake report outlines four areas in which progress is necessary. One area, mitigation, highlights the need to reduce greenhouse gas emissions by 43, 60, and 84% from 2019 levels by 2030, 2035, and 2050, respectively, to limit global warming to 1.5°C. See our McKinsey Explainer to connect with McKinsey experts—such as senior partner Cindy Levy and colleagues—on the global stocktake and discover what could happen now as UN member states consider the stocktake’s recommendations.
