How will generative AI affect your workforce?
Five Fifty
Share this email
Historically, automation has affected workers with lower education and skill levels. Generative AI is flipping the script: more-educated workers will likely experience the greatest degree of impact, say McKinsey’s Michael Chui and coauthors.

How companies are reimagining travel in the age of AI

AI-directed air traffic. Researchers in the UK have created a digital twin of England’s airspace that may enable AI agents to work alongside humans to direct air traffic. By recommending energy-efficient routes, the virtual model, which uses data from ten million flight paths, could lower the environmental effects of flying. Using AI platforms to guide air traffic might also help to reduce delays at congested airports. The airline industry is grappling with a shortage of air traffic controllers, who complete three years of training to do the job. [FT]
•
Travel’s new era. Advances in AI are equipping the travel industry to reimagine how consumers experience travel. Most companies aim to provide exceptional service, but too often fall short of meeting expectations. Still, nearly a third of consumers intend to splurge on travel in the next three months, a 2023 McKinsey ConsumerWise survey finds. Closing the gap between the promise and reality of travel gives companies the opportunity to keep the desire to travel alive, says QuantumBlack, AI by McKinsey leader Ben Ellencweig and colleagues.
•
Smarter decisions. Travel companies are developing new tools for frontline workers to process complex inputs and help guide day-of decision making. For example, advanced simulation models such as digital twins allow companies to conduct rapid what-if analyses and provide real-time guidance. With a digital twin, when inclement weather occurs, crews can use live simulations to make more informed decisions about rerouting flights. To explore how digital technologies are reshaping travel, see our new report, The promise of travel in the age of AI.

What’s going on that’s not generative AI? A leader’s guide to top trends
Share this email
Brought to you by Liz Hilton Segel, chief client officer and managing partner, global industry practices, & Homayoun Hatami, managing partner, global client capabilities
Business leaders are generally optimistic about global economic conditions over the next six months, according to the latest McKinsey Global Survey on the economy. Sentiments vary by region, however: respondents in North America and India have a brighter outlook than those in Europe, where the effects of inflation raise concerns. For the sixth quarter in a row, geopolitical instability and political conflicts remain the most-cited risks to global growth, but private sector companies still believe their organizations will do well—two-thirds expect their profits to increase over the next six months, and most respondents expect customer demand to grow. Many companies plan to redesign the office space that they own or lease and to implement remote-work policies over the next few years, regardless of whether they expect their office space to shrink or expand.
That’s McKinsey’s Michael Chui, Mena Issler, Roger Roberts, and Lareina Yee in their report on the technology trends that matter most for companies in 2023. While generative AI may be the most hyped trend, “it stands as just one of many advances on the horizon that could drive sustainable, inclusive growth,” note the authors. For example, technologies such as cloud, edge, and quantum computing show great promise for value creation: edge will likely post double-digit growth in the next five years. According to the McKinsey authors, “Companies seeking longer-term growth should focus on a portfolio-oriented investment across the tech trends most important to their business.”
The growing middle-class segments of the population will likely have a major influence on business and society, says Brookings Institution economist Homi Kharas in an episode of McKinsey’s Forward Thinking podcast. “They shape our world, clearly, by politics,” he says. “But not just by politics. They’re shaping our world by their influence on the business sector. The middle class, increasingly, for example, is looking to push corporates to be more sustainable.” With their expansion fueled by technology, democratization, and globalization, the middle classes now total about four billion people—roughly half of the world’s population. The influence of these groups extends to “all parts of our lives,” says Kharas. “Every time you hear of something going viral, for example, what it really means is that the middle class has seized on this as an issue and is trying to elevate it.”
In the sci-fi TV series For All Mankind, which presents an alternative history of the 1960s space race, the superpowers set up bases on the moon and routinely fly lunar missions. That scenario may not be as far-fetched as it seems. Set to surge 41 percent over the next five years, the $469 billion space economy—broadly defined as activities in orbit or on other planets that benefit humans—is already transforming life on Earth, reports McKinsey senior partner Ryan Brukardt. For example, satellite technology powers our communications and helps monitor climate change, agriculture, and national security. But the biggest boost for organizations could come from functions that take place entirely in space, such as in-orbit R&D and manufacturing. Such breakthroughs may fuel the next industrial revolution—and help your business lift off.
Lead by spotting trends.

Change is hard. But it can also give companies a competitive edge.

The power of storytelling. As the world around them transforms continuously, organizations and their leaders have no choice but to transform in turn. Of course, large-scale organizational change can be destabilizing and anxiety-inducing for many employees. But storytelling is a powerful tool for building trust, even in uncertain times. Stories can make abstract concepts—such as the reasons for a company’s transformation and what that change might mean for people’s day-to-day work—feel personal and emotionally resonant. Stories about the changes under way can also influence people’s behaviors and actions so that they match the organization’s vision. [Quartz]
•
The will to succeed. After years of McKinsey research on transformations, some persistent truths remain: a comprehensive approach to change is best, and the value at stake is incredibly high—and easy to lose. What partner Rajesh Krishnan and coauthors tested this year is how, and by how much, four broad elements (will, skill, rigor, and scope) can affect a transformation’s outcomes: not only whether the effort achieved and sustained performance improvements, but also whether it enabled the company to outperform its competition.

Best ways to test system functionality
Testing system functionality is a crucial step in software development and engineering processes.
It ensures that a system or software application performs as expected, meets user requirements, and operates reliably.
Here we delve into the best ways:Unit Testing: Ensures individual code components work correctly in isolation.
Integration Testing: Verifies that different system parts function seamlessly together.
System Testing: Assesses the entire system's compliance with user requirements and performance.
Load Testing: Tests a system's ability to handle high workloads and identifies performance issues.
Error Testing: Evaluate how the software handles invalid inputs and error conditions.
Test Automation: Automates test case execution for efficiency, repeatability, and error reduction.
Over to you: How do you approach testing system functionality in your software development or engineering projects?

Cloud Network Components Cheat Sheet
Network components form the backbone of cloud infrastructure, enabling connectivity, scalability, and functionality in cloud services.
These components include routers, load balancers, and firewalls, which ensure data flows efficiently and securely between servers and clients.
Additionally, Content Delivery Networks (CDNs) optimize content delivery by caching data at edge locations, reducing latency and improving user experience.
In essence, these network elements work together to create a robust and responsive cloud ecosystem that underpins modern digital services and applications.
This cheat sheet offers a concise yet comprehensive comparison of key network elements across the four major cloud providers.
Over to you: How did you tackle the complexity of configuring and managing these network components?Explaining 5 unique ID generators in distributed systems
The diagram below shows how they work. Each generator has its pros and cons.
UUID
A UUID has 128 bits. It is simple to generate and no need to call another service. However, it is not sequential and inefficient for database indexing. Additionally, UUID doesn’t guarantee global uniqueness. We need to be careful with ID conflicts (although the chances are slim.)Snowflake
Snowflake’s ID generation process has multiple components: timestamp, machine ID, and serial number. The first bit is unused to ensure positive IDs. This generator doesn’t need to talk to an ID generator via the network, so is fast and scalable.
Snowflake implementations vary. For example, data center ID can be added to the “MachineID” component to guarantee global uniqueness.DB auto-increment
Most database products offer auto-increment identity columns. Since this is supported in the database, we can leverage its transaction management to handle concurrent visits to the ID generator. This guarantees uniqueness in one table. However, this involves network communications and may expose sensitive business data to the outside. For example, if we use this as a user ID, our business competitors will have a rough idea of the total number of users registered on our website.DB segment
An alternative approach is to retrieve IDs from the database in batches and cache them in the ID servers, each ID server handling a segment of IDs. This greatly saves the I/O pressure on the database.Redis
We can also use Redis key-value pair to generate unique IDs. Redis stores data in memory, so this approach offers better performance than the database.

Overcoming bias in machine learning
Share this email
Brought to you by Liz Hilton Segel, chief client officer and managing partner, global industry practices, & Homayoun Hatami, managing partner, global client capabilities
Overcoming bias in machine learning
Poor workers always blame their tools, the saying goes. The lesson, of course, is a simple one: the more knowledgeable the worker, the more effective the tool. That’s as true for, say, a factory lathe machine as it is for the complex algorithms that underpin the machine learning and AI technologies that companies increasingly use. Machine learning holds immense promise for businesses that can effectively harness the powerful technology, but much like today’s advanced-analytics and generative AI technology, it’s only as good as the data it’s working from—and, perhaps even more important, the people inputting the data.
One of the risks of machine learning is that the algorithms that support it can easily inherit the behavioral biases of their human creator, derailing projects and creating costly errors in the process. Organizations can take measures to protect against algorithmic bias, including understanding the shortcomings of the algorithms they’re working with, shaping data samples in such a way that minimizes bias, and knowing when not to use the technology if a more traditional decision-making process is appropriate.
Companies are only just beginning to experiment with the powerful new generative AI and machine learning technologies available. To help ensure that both worker and tool are functioning optimally, business leaders would do well to heed the lessons from this 2017 classic from McKinsey partner Vishnu Kamalnath, “Controlling machine-learning algorithms and their biases.”Address the limitations of machine learning

Curated by Liz Hilton Segel, chief client officer and managing partner, global industry practices, & Homayoun Hatami, managing partner, global client capabilities
It’s that time of year again. As the weather cools in the Northern Hemisphere, our minds turn once again to COP, or Conference of the Parties, the annual climate conference where UN member states discuss progress toward net zero. We understand the challenges of meeting climate pledges, 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 some of our best ideas on the energy transition: avoiding disorder, finding out if customers are willing to pay, and more. We hope you enjoy the read.

“Go west, young man, and grow up with the country.” That was 19th-century advice to young Americans seeking opportunity. Let’s update it for the 21st century: go west, young people, and lead Western companies and economies to a sustainable future. The West is a chief source of emissions—and opportunities. Two McKinsey reports from 2023 explain the details.

Of course I’m into sustainability. Why, what have you heard? Millions on social media and in casual conversation are quick to hype their green cred. But away from the scrutiny of their peers, will they actually pay more for a product that claims to be sustainable? According to an extensive new study by McKinsey and NielsenIQ, the short answer is yes—and that means a major growth opportunity for consumer-packaged-goods companies that understand the nuanced influence of environmental claims on customer purchase decisions.

Some trees might actually grow to the sky, or thereabouts. Investments in climate technology are still on the rise, defying the headwinds that have affected most capital markets. New regulations such as the US Inflation Regulation Act and EU Green Deal are helping. We estimate the total opportunity at $9 trillion to $12 trillion annually by 2030.

West African chocolate factory. Seventy percent of cocoa beans come from Africa, but only 1% of the world’s chocolate is produced there. The “fairchain movement” calls for keeping the profitable areas of business, such as manufacturing, within the countries that supply needed raw materials. By building its chocolate factory in Ghana, one company aims to increase the share of wealth that stays in Africa.
