When times are tough, marketing budgets are often cut. Here’s why that’s shortsighted.
On Point
How to think like a CFO Brought to you by Liz Hilton Segel, chief client officer and managing partner, global industry practices, & Homayoun Hatami, managing partner, global client capabilities
•
Financial blunders. When the business environment is unpredictable, executives may be tempted to prioritize short-term goals at the expense of longer-term growth. Reducing a company’s marketing budget during an economic downturn is one financial slipup that many leaders make, says one founder and CEO. Spending prudently makes sense, but marketing builds connections between brands and audiences. When the economy recovers, companies that haven’t invested in marketing may find that consumers have forgotten them. [Fast Company]
•
Think like a CFO. When times are tough, marketing is always one of the first items on the chopping block, McKinsey senior partner Kelsey Robinson shares on a recent edition of The McKinsey Podcast. Chief marketing officers (CMOs) who realize that effective marketing actually propels growth will apply an investor mindset to marketing. That means thinking a little more like a CFO, Robinson explains. Eliminating inefficient spend can lead to most companies saving 10% to 20% without even cutting the budget. Those dollars can be reinvested in high-growth marketing strategies.

Meet the zero consumer
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
We understand the challenges of the C-suite, and we’re committed to helping CEOs, both present and future, do the best they can—for their organizations and for the environment. In this edition, we look at what it will take to get to net zero, sonic superpowers, and more. We hope you enjoy the read.
—Liz and Homayoun
Phygital. Quick commerce. RMNs. Zero clue what we’re talking about? These are all ways to reach a rapidly growing group we’re calling zero consumers. Why zero? These shoppers have zero boundaries as to where they shop; zero interest in the midrange, preferring to scrimp and splurge; zero brand loyalty; and they commit to brands working to achieve net zero.
Learn four ways organizations can zero in on this diverse and expanding segment in ‘Zero consumers’: What they want and why it matters, a new article by Resil Das, Surbhi Kalia, and Dymfke Kuijpers.Product and platform is not plug and play. More and more companies in every industry are switching the operating model for their technology teams to so-called product and platform, an organizational approach adopted from technology firms. It’s a key takeaway from organizations that are rewiring to outcompete. But getting it right isn’t easy.
Clear a path for your digital transformation with The big product and platform shift: Five actions to get the transformation right, by Rushabh Gala, Naufal Khan, Ling Lau, Gautam Lunawat, and Anindita Pal.COP is coming. This year, the conference will review the first-ever global stocktake, a report on the progress the world has made toward net zero. As we brace for some tough news, it’s worth revisiting the McKinsey Global Institute’s estimate of what’s at stake in The net-zero transition: What it would cost, what it could bring, our flagship climate report.
Sounds like a superpower. The CEO of Bose told us why she thinks the company’s devotion to sound quality sets it apart: “Sound is not an accessory or something we do on the side: it’s everything we do.” That’s the kind of focus we’ve discovered is characteristic of companies with superpowers.
Here’s some noise you won’t want to cancel: Leading through disruption requires ‘the gene for change,’ an interview with Lila Snyder.

Are you struggling to keep up with generative AI? Here’s a quick take.
On Point
Gen AI in 15 charts Brought to you by Liz Hilton Segel, chief client officer and managing partner, global industry practices, & Homayoun Hatami, managing partner, global client capabilities
•
An evolving workplace. Many executives believe that AI’s cognitive capabilities could reach those of humans in a few years’ time. As talent shortages persist, business leaders are considering how their organizations can generate value without as many workers, a US professor shares. Envisioning a future with fewer workers may be faulty, however, as leaders who think only of immediate gains might miss the bigger picture of how entire parts of the business may need to be reimagined. Leaders could instead consider how the workforce will evolve with AI, and what new skills workers will need to acquire. [HBR]
•
So many questions. Ever since ChatGPT made its public debut, businesses have been racing to capture its value. While previous waves of automation technology mostly affected physical work activities, gen AI is likely to have the biggest effect on knowledge work, particularly activities involving decision making and collaboration, find global leader of McKinsey Digital Rodney Zemmel and coauthors. It’s no wonder so many questions are now being asked, including what kinds of jobs gen AI will most affect and how workers feel about the technology.

Welcome back! In the first part of our Kubernetes deep dive, we covered the fundamentals - Kubernetes' architecture, key components like pods and controllers, and core capabilities like networking and storage.
Now, we'll dive into the practical side of Kubernetes. You'll learn when and how to apply Kubernetes based on your application needs and team skills. We'll explore advanced features, benefits and drawbacks, use cases where Kubernetes excels, and situations where it may be overkill.
By the end, you'll have a starting roadmap to putting Kubernetes into practice safely and successfully. Let's get started!
Kubernetes' Declarative Architecture
One of Kubernetes' key strengths is its declarative architecture. With declarative APIs, you specify the desired state of your application and Kubernetes handles reconciling the actual state to match it.
The Declarative Model
For example, to deploy an application, you would create a Deployment resource (discussed in the last issue) that declares details like:
The Deployment resource declares the desired state:
Use the nginx 1.16 image
Run 3 replicas
Match pods by app=my-app label
Kubernetes then handles all the underlying details of actually deploying and scaling your app based on your declared spec.
This is different from an imperative approach that would require step-by-step commands to deploy and update.
Custom Resource Definition
A key benefit of this architecture is extensibility. Kubernetes is designed to watch for new resource types and seamlessly handle them via declarative APIs. No modifications to Kubernetes itself are needed. Developers can create Custom Resource Definitions for new resource types that work just like built-ins.
Here is a simple example of Custom Resource Definition:
This defines a new App resource under mycompany.com/v1. It could be used like:
The declarative model enables powerful automation capabilities. Controllers can monitor resource specs and automatically adjust them as needed. For example, the HorizontalPodAutoscaler tracks metrics like CPU usage and scales Deployments up or down in response. The Cluster Autoscaler modulates node counts based on pod resource demands.
While Kubernetes does support imperative commands like kubectl run, these are less extensible and do not integrate with Kubernetes' automation capabilities as seamlessly. Using declarative APIs provides significant advantages in terms of extensibility, portability and self-service automation.
Advanced Built-in Resources
Kubernetes provides many built-in resources that leverage its declarative architecture to make managing applications easier. Some examples:
Ingress resources allow declarative configuration of external access to Kubernetes services. This leverages extensibility by introducing a custom resource to abstract the implementation details of exposing services. Different Ingress controllers can be implemented for various environments like Nginx, ALB, Traefik etc. This separation of concerns enables portability.
ConfigMaps provide a native Kubernetes way to inject configuration data into pods. ConfigMaps hold key-value data that can be mounted or set as environment variables. This allows separation of configuration from code/images. Pods directly consume ConfigMaps. This integrates configuration natively via Kubernetes' extensible API.
Role-Based Access Control (RBAC) introduces custom resources like Roles, RoleBindings and ClusterRoles. These combine to form access policies which enable granular permissions. RBAC deeply integrates declarative authorization into the Kubernetes API via admission control and enforcement.
Third-party Add-ons
In addition, a vibrant ecosystem of add-ons use Kubernetes APIs to extend functionality. Here are a few popular examples:
Helm introduces charts, which package YAML templates to declaratively manage complex, configurable applications. Charts can be hosted in repositories like package managers for easy sharing and installation. Helm effectively extends Kubernetes as an application platform.
Prometheus integrates via custom resources like ServiceMonitors for dynamic target discovery and autoscaling based on custom metrics. The Prometheus Operator and controllers leverage the extensible API to simplify monitoring, alerts and autoscaling.
Istio injects proxies for traffic control, observability and security using extensibility mechanisms like custom resources, controllers and admission webhooks. This layers on advanced features without changing code.
Argo CD utilizes custom resources, controllers, CRDs, webhooks and operators to enable GitOps workflows on Kubernetes. It models CD concepts through declarative APIs and reconciles state through automation.
Kubernetes lets you fully customize your system configuration. Everything is set up through Kubernetes resources and add-ons that you define. So you can shape the platform to your specific needs, rather than being constrained by predefined options.
Kubernetes gives you common building blocks that you can combine in creative ways to meet your use cases. This open, programmable design means you can develop novel applications that even the original developers didn't think of.
Benefits and Drawbacks of Kubernetes
Kubernetes has become hugely popular due to the many benefits it offers, but like any technology, it also comes with some downsides that need careful evaluation. Below we dive into the key pros and cons of Kubernetes
The Main Benefits
Infrastructure Efficiency
One benefit of Kubernetes is how well it lets you manage resources on a large scale. By automatically scheduling containers across nodes, and features like auto-scaling and self-healing, Kubernetes makes sure resources are used optimally. It adjusts smoothly based on demand, starting up or shutting down resources as needed. This not only saves money from better resource use, but also guarantees applications have the right resources to run smoothly.
Enhanced Developer Productivity
By handling many infrastructure tasks like scaling and deployments automatically, Kubernetes frees developers from having to spend as much time on those tasks. This lets developers focus their time and energy on writing application code rather than worry about infrastructure details. This boosts developer productivity once Kubernetes is set up.
Easy Scalability
A key advantage of Kubernetes is how easily it allows applications to scale up and down based on real-time demand. This makes sure resources are used efficiently while performing well during traffic spikes. The auto-scaling is especially useful for applications with changing workloads.
Application Portability
Kubernetes provides a consistent deployment experience whether you run applications on-premises, in the public cloud, or hybrid. This makes it easy to move applications between environments and reduces dependency on any single cloud provider.
Consistent Environments
Kubernetes provides the same standardized environment for your code in development, testing and production. This reduces bugs from inconsistencies between environments. Developers and QA engineers get a reliable testing environment that closely matches production.
Resilience
Kubernetes provides capabilities that allow developers to build highly resilient applications, such as automatic scaling, rolling updates, and redundancy across regions. However, these resilience capabilities need to be purposefully implemented using Kubernetes' flexible architecture.
Large Ecosystem
The active open source community around Kubernetes has created many tools, plugins, extensions and resources that make it customizable for diverse uses. Help and support are readily available.
Vendor Neutral
With support for diverse infrastructure both on-premises and across public clouds, Kubernetes prevents locking into a single vendor. You have flexibility to choose suitable infrastructure for your needs.
The Main Drawbacks
Complexity
The biggest downside of Kubernetes is its complexity.
The extensive capabilities of Kubernetes also make it complex, especially for production-grade deployments with many moving parts working in concert. It demands significant expertise to set up and manage properly.
Ongoing management and troubleshooting also requires specialized engineering skills. Misconfigurations can easily take down applications deployed on Kubernetes.
For smaller teams without deep DevOps skills, this complexity can outweigh the benefits. The learning curve is steep, especially for those new to large-scale distributed systems.
Resource Overheads
Running Kubernetes comes with overhead resource costs. A Kubernetes control plane requires a certain baseline level of resources.
For smaller applications or organizations just starting out, these overhead costs may not justify the benefits. The resources required to run Kubernetes would be excessive.
The human resources required to properly operate Kubernetes also imposes overhead costs. At high scale, dedicated teams are needed to manage Kubernetes infrastructure full-time.
For many smaller teams, these operational costs are difficult to justify. The break-even point at which Kubernetes efficiency pays off is higher.
Security Concerns
Securing a Kubernetes environment is challenging given the platform's many configurable parts. It requires solid expertise and constant vigilance to lock down properly.
Resource Underutilization
While Kubernetes aims to optimize resource usage, improper configuration can also lead to overprovisioning and waste. Right-sizing cluster resources based on actual utilization is critical.
Upgrade Headaches
Keeping Kubernetes clusters up-to-date requires careful planning and execution to minimize application downtime and maintain compatibility during upgrades.
Limited Support for Stateful Apps
While optimized for stateless workloads, Kubernetes does provide capabilities to support stateful applications through features like StatefulSets, persistent volumes, and affinity/anti-affinity. While support for stateful apps like databases is improving, running them on Kubernetes still involves additional complexity.
Our Take
Kubernetes offers immense benefits but also comes with drawbacks. It excels for large-scale, distributed applications that require portability across environments, high availability, and operational efficiency. But it also introduces complexity and resource overheads.
As with all engineering decisions, tradeoffs must be evaluated based on application needs and team constraints. Both the technical pros and cons along with business considerations like costs and capabilities drive the appropriate decision.
Use Cases for Kubernetes
Kubernetes shines for large-scale, complex applications. But is it a good fit for every workload? Let's examine key use cases where Kubernetes excels and also where it may be overkill.

Who are ‘zero consumers’ and what do they want?
On Point
How consumer behavior is shifting Brought to you by Liz Hilton Segel, chief client officer and managing partner, global industry practices, & Homayoun Hatami, managing partner, global client capabilities
•
India’s growing market. By 2027, India is expected to become the world’s third-largest consumer market, rising from its current position as fifth largest, a UK-based research firm has found. Due in part to a robust youth population that will likely spend sizably on consumer electronics, real household spending may increase nearly 30%, reaching about $3 trillion over the next four years. Per capita household spending in India, at 7.8% year over year, is set to outperform other economies in Asia such as Indonesia and Thailand. [CNBC]

The ‘zero consumer.’ You’re likely to be a “zero consumer” even if you might not call yourself one. Zero consumers are omnichannel shoppers. They scrimp and splurge at the same time, they’re not loyal to brands, and they care about health and sustainability. Zero consumers are everywhere in Asia, but they are a global phenomenon as well—and companies that don’t pay close attention to them could soon become irrelevant, McKinsey senior partner Dymfke Kuijpers and coauthors share.

The microhabits that help CEOs succeed
Re:think
Improving the inner lives of CEOs FRESH TAKES ON BIG IDEAS
I’ve spent most of my career working with CEOs; I have met with a hundred or so just in the past year. When I tell people that, everyone wants me to distill the secrets of leadership into a simple formula. Sorry, I can’t do it. But I will pass on something I’ve learned that might be helpful.
Everybody knows about what we might call the macrohabits of leaders: staking out a vision for the company, setting a tone of fairness among employees, being visible to stakeholders, fielding tough questions, pushing hard for results—these are the behaviors that everyone expects from a CEO.But there’s another layer of behaviors that goes less noticed and arguably has even more to do with success, especially if success to you means excelling in areas like commitment, sustainability, satisfaction, and well-being. These are the microhabits of leadership—the little things—and they’ve never been more important, as business and society grapple with an endless cascade of uncertainty or worse: wars on several continents, a global economy that can’t make up its mind, new technologies like gen AI that might make everything better (or worse), and so on.
How do you stay zen through all of this and still deliver on the vast expectations of a CEO? Start at the bottom of Maslow’s hierarchy of human needs: bodily health. Leaders need to find the time for simple daily routines that preserve mental and physical stamina. One go-to move is to set up a regular early-afternoon call with someone you like. Taking a walk is never a bad idea. And sometimes, it’s just a matter of staying upbeat and finding new sources of inspiration. One leader told me he wakes up every morning asking the same question: “What’s going to be nice today?” Expressing gratitude is a powerful daily habit. Above all, get some sleep. Turn off your phone and pick up an old-fashioned book for 30 minutes.“The microhabits of leadership—the little things—have never been more important, as business and society grapple with an endless cascade of uncertainty.”
Sound mind, sound body: if you’ve got that, you’ve got everything you need to build a few microhabits to elevate your workday. It’s more important than ever to know your strengths and pace yourself. Many leaders fall into a trap on their way up the career ladder. They don’t dare (or know how) to delegate. Huge mistake. You hired the people around you because they were exceptional; why don’t you trust them? Stay out of their way and let them do their thing. The true test of leadership is when your team succeeds without you. Letting others take the wheel is probably the top secret of time management for CEOs, but there are others. Hold the line on travel. Cap the length of meetings. Pick up the phone rather than ponder the right wording for an email.
OK, let’s kick it up a notch. Some leaders have also told me about the importance of symbolic acts. How many times have you heard a friend describe an encounter with a celebrity by saying, “He was really down-to-earth” or “She seemed like a real person”? In our optics-focused age, being a real person seems weird or forced or impossible, but it doesn’t have to be. Some CEOs, celebrities in their own right for their workforces, are taking turns as mystery shoppers to see their companies the way their customers do. Some are showing up at stores to greet customers, even doing a shift at the customer-service desk, to model how best to listen to people who are unsatisfied with a transaction and then turn them into customers for life. Others are spending time with junior managers, half of whom started after the 2008 financial crisis and 70 percent after the dot-com bubble. Stories from the old days can inspire and inform.
These are some of the microhabits that I’ve learned from leaders and try to practice myself. Remember that as a leader, the only way to take good care of your teams, customers, shareholders, and communities is to take good care of yourself.ABOUT THIS AUTHOR

Women are ‘breaking up’ with unfulfilling jobs. What can employers do?
On Point
What women say they want Brought to you by Liz Hilton Segel, chief client officer and managing partner, global industry practices, & Homayoun Hatami, managing partner, global client capabilities

Remote-work trade-offs. Flexible work arrangements have enabled more working moms to stay employed. At the same time, women who work remotely could pay a steep price for doing so in terms of being able to advance their careers. US researchers found that a decade of remote work from 2009 to 2019 lifted working moms’ employment rates in fields such as computer science and marketing and communications. Yet remote work may also decrease the amount of feedback given to less experienced workers and female employees. [NYT]

‘Voting with their feet.’ Women are ambitious but face hurdles in their efforts to advance in the workplace, McKinsey senior partners Lareina Yee and Alexis Krivkovich share on an episode of The McKinsey Podcast. “We found that 37% of women leaders had a coworker take credit for their idea, and that they were two times more likely to be mistaken for someone junior,” Yee explains. For the first time, women leaders are voting with their feet; they’re leaving their jobs for more fulfilling work in unprecedented numbers, adds Krivkovich.
