What it takes to successfully transition out of the CEO role
Embrace what's next Brought to you by Liz Hilton Segel, chief client officer and managing partner, global industry practices, & Homayoun Hatami, managing partner, global client capabilities
Being a CEO is undoubtedly a difficult job, but leaving the role can often be even more challenging. Much like a relay race, the goal of the handover is to ensure that the next person is well positioned to perform even better after the baton is handed off. Based on interviews with some of the world’s most well-known chief executives, McKinsey senior partners Carolyn Dewar, Scott Keller, Vikram Malhotra, and Kurt Strovink suggest four best practices for CEOs who are thinking about the end game: deciding when to go, finishing the job of succession planning, ensuring a clean handoff to the successor, and embracing what’s next. Check out the new McKinsey Quarterly article and see what it takes to achieve a gold-medal-worthy finish to your CEO tenure.

Can traditional companies snag the tech workers needed in the age of AI?
On Point
How rewiring HR could help Brought to you by Liz Hilton Segel, chief client officer and managing partner, global industry practices, & Homayoun Hatami, managing partner, global client capabilities
• Courting tech talent. Following layoffs as well as a 33% decrease in job openings in the tech industry in the first three months of 2023, government agencies and a wide range of other employers, including hoteliers, financial institutions, and railroad companies, are snapping up tech workers who were once eager to work only for tech giants. Yet overall, there is still stiff competition for tech talent: the unemployment rate among American tech workers is just 2%. [AP]
• Another company’s gain. Unlike tech companies, incumbent organizations in other industries have historically had trouble attracting the tech talent they need. This year’s tech industry layoffs create an opportunity for traditional players: McKinsey analysis from the first half of 2023 finds that more than 80% of laid-off tech workers find new jobs within three months, often with nontech companies. An end-to-end approach to HR can help attract—and just as important, retain—tech talent at these organizations, reveal McKinsey senior partner Dana Maor and coauthors.

A leader’s guide to new-business building for established companies
Mind your own business Brought to you by Liz Hilton Segel, chief client officer and managing partner, global industry practices, & Homayoun Hatami, managing partner, global client capabilities
Despite the economic uncertainty of the past three years—and the lingering aftereffects of the pandemic—building new businesses remains a reliable way to boost organizational growth. Our latest McKinsey Global Survey of business leaders shows that companies that prioritize new-business building—even during turbulent economic conditions—grow faster than those that don’t. We estimate that new businesses built by large incumbent organizations currently generate $5 trillion in revenues, which could grow to $30 trillion in five years. But hatching a unicorn isn’t always easy for traditional organizations: the most successful ones combine the stability and scale of an established business with the freewheeling autonomy of a start-up. This week, we explore some ways to achieve that balance.
That’s one of five lessons that established companies may want to keep in mind when launching new businesses. “Leaders often underestimate the difficulty of starting a new venture within the existing landscape of processes, culture, and behaviors,” note McKinsey senior partners Ralf Dreischmeier and Nimal Manuel and colleagues. Rather than trying to imitate the speed and adventurousness of start-ups, incumbents may be better off playing to their own strengths, such as the parent company’s brand recognition, strong supplier base, loyal customers, or existing logistics infrastructure. To up the odds of a new venture’s success, it helps to build for scale from the start, striking “a healthy balance between developing new capabilities, building long-term solutions, and optimizing existing features,” according to the McKinsey experts.
That’s the number of technology approaches that can be combined to launch new businesses faster and more effectively. McKinsey senior partner Stéphane Bout and partners Philipp Hillenbrand and Henning Soller suggest the use of software as a service (SaaS), serverless architecture, and open-source code to maximize existing technologies and reduce development and maintenance tasks. For example, by using serverless architecture across a series of spin-off products, an energy company reduced the time and staff needed to support the new tech infrastructure. The company also improved its capacity to make processing performance enhancements quickly as the new businesses expanded.
That’s Hitachi executive Ram Ramachander on the dynamics of managing start-ups within a larger company. As the CEO of Hitachi ZeroCarbon and chief digital officer of Hitachi Europe, Ramachander runs a portfolio of new ventures that combine net-zero objectives and digital solutions. In a conversation with McKinsey partner Subu Narayanan, Ramachander points out that when launching new businesses, leaders at large corporations may need to rethink traditional measures of success such as quarterly performance expectations. “In the early stages, you need to invest without necessarily knowing where all of the revenue opportunities exist,” he says. “You’ve got to be very open-minded about that.” He compares his organization at Hitachi to the little motorboats circling a tanker: “We work in an entrepreneurial style, we fail fast, we have agility. And we want to bring the tanker in the same direction.”
Partnering with start-ups to create new ventures may offer established organizations access to faster product development and top talent; for their part, start-ups stand to gain vital financing, along with access to the corporate partner’s customers. “The growth in digitization over the past year has driven the need to innovate, putting even more spotlight on getting these partnerships right,” says McKinsey partner Tawanda Sibanda in an episode of McKinsey’s Inside the Strategy Room podcast. Potential pain points to watch for include cultural gaps, unclear strategic objectives, lack of executive commitment on the corporate side, and slow corporate processes. “Companies often get stuck in pilots, with no path to scale in terms of resources, stakeholders’ buy-in, and so on,” cautions McKinsey partner Miao Wang. “You end up in a holding pattern that frustrates start-ups.”
Talent is a critical asset in any business, but even more so in new ventures. Companies may need to be especially vigilant when appointing leaders for new businesses, according to McKinsey’s Rohan Jain and Vivek Lath—the ideal candidate would be both an experienced entrepreneur and a seasoned corporate executive. To nurture a longer-term source of new ideas, leaders may want to foster “intrapreneurship,” whereby employees are empowered to create new products or services: some of the most famous business innovations have happened this way.
Lead by building new businesses.

Do you know how to create value from generative AI?
On Point
Nine actions could help Brought to you by Liz Hilton Segel, chief client officer and managing partner, global industry practices, & Homayoun Hatami, managing partner, global client capabilities
• Who’s in charge. For organizations experimenting with generative AI, one question looms large: Who is responsible for leading the way? The technology’s potential to transform processes throughout a company makes it tough to decide, executives explain. Some leaders are enlisting chief technology officers (CTOs) to prioritize AI projects, while others are establishing task forces and new AI-related roles. Earlier in 2023, a US tech company formed a ten-member AI council that includes staffers from its engineering, legal, and marketing divisions. [WSJ]
• Trillions at stake. With its potential to add $2.6 trillion to $4.4 trillion of value annually, the business world’s excitement over generative AI seems well earned, McKinsey senior partner Aamer Baig and coauthors say. Today’s generative-AI boom offers a unique chance for CIOs and CTOs to guide the C-suite in turning the promise of generative AI into sustainable value for the business. It’s worth remembering, however, that while many companies may experiment with new technologies, creating significant business value is often much harder.
• Nine actions. To learn how organizations can be successful with generative AI, McKinsey spoke with dozens of tech leaders and analyzed generative-AI initiatives at more than 50 companies, including our own. As more people use generative-AI tools, we have seen some CIOs and CTOs respond by blocking employee access to publicly available applications to limit risk. Such companies, however, may miss out on opportunities to innovate. Discover nine actions all tech leaders can take to create value, scale solutions, and manage risk for generative AI.

“This book reinforces why we must focus on stewarding good tech. As Kissinger has said, history shows that when people are fearful of something and they don’t understand it, they revolt. AI is at that moment. I’m a believer that AI has a great upside and will change every job for the better, but it matters how we implement it.”

Senior partner Bryan Hancock on why companies need to reimagine the role of the middle manager: “Over the past 20 years, managers have increasingly been asked—and increasingly valued—not for their management but for their individual–contributor work. And given the complexities of the future of work, we need to flip that around. We need to get managers back to managing.” Watch the full interview.
John Horn breaks down the difficulties companies have in assessing competitors: “As business leaders, we’re taught to control things we can control. We can control internal operations, we can control marketing plans, and we can control the things we do as a company, but we can’t control competitors. It is scary for business leaders to think about something that’s out of their control or influence.” Watch the full interview.
Joanne Lipman outlines a concrete path to reinvention: “I woke up in the middle of the night, saying, ‘What am I doing? What am I going to do?’ And I realized that everybody around me and the whole world—we were all in exactly the same position at the same time.” Watch the full interview.
Claire Hughes Johnson explains the role that self-awareness plays in driving performance: “We always talk about scaling companies, but companies are just collections of people. If you’re not thoughtful about them and what they need to succeed, it’s going to be hard to succeed as a company.” Watch the full interview.
Dr. Rina Bliss explores intelligence through the lens of nature versus nurture:
“We still track students; we still make hiring preferences based on intelligence and aptitude test scores. We still group people according to whether they’re so-called winners or losers of some kind of genetic lottery. But intelligence isn’t genetic.” Watch the full interview.OUT NOW

Happy birthday, McKinsey Global Institute!
Plus research, old and new Brought to you by Liz Hilton Segel, chief client officer and managing partner, global industry practices, & Homayoun Hatami, managing partner, global client capabilities
New from McKinsey & Company
In July 1990, the McKinsey Global Institute (MGI) was organized to help McKinsey identify and understand fundamental economic, political, and social issues that had important consequences for clients. The concept came out of a series of firm-sponsored CEO meetings to discuss the emerging global economy in the late 1980s. After the first few conferences, participants recognized an increased need for good data to provide a more focused foundation for their discussions—research only McKinsey could do; McKinsey’s experience in virtually every sector of the world's leading economies made it uniquely positioned to collect, collate, and analyze this data. Thirty-three years later, the global economic insights MGI has provided on national and international topics have influenced business strategy and practices, governmental policy and planning, and academic thought. Celebrate MGI’s 33rd birthday by diving into recent research by MGI leaders Chris Bradley, Kweilin Ellingrud, Marco Piccitto, Sven Smit, Olivia White, and Jonathan Woetzel, and check out a selection of MGI reports from our archives.

Explaining JSON Web Token (JWT) to a 10 year old Kid
Imagine you have a special box called a JWT. Inside this box, there are three parts: a header, a payload, and a signature.
The header is like the label on the outside of the box. It tells us what type of box it is and how it's secured. It's usually written in a format called JSON, which is just a way to organize information using curly braces { } and colons :
The payload is like the actual message or information you want to send. It could be your name, age, or any other data you want to share. It's also written in JSON format, so it's easy to understand and work with.
Now, the signature is what makes the JWT secure. It's like a special seal that only the sender knows how to create. The signature is created using a secret code, kind of like a password. This signature ensures that nobody can tamper with the contents of the JWT without the sender knowing about it.
When you want to send the JWT to a server, you put the header, payload, and signature inside the box. Then you send it over to the server. The server can easily read the header and payload to understand who you are and what you want to do.
Over to you: When should we use JWT for authentication? What are some other authentication methods?

How does Docker work?
The diagram below shows the architecture of Docker and how it works when we run “docker build”, “docker pull” and “docker run”.
There are 3 components in Docker architecture:
Docker client
The docker client talks to the Docker daemon.Docker host
The Docker daemon listens for Docker API requests and manages Docker objects such as images, containers, networks, and volumes.Docker registry
A Docker registry stores Docker images. Docker Hub is a public registry that anyone can use.
Let’s take the “docker run” command as an example.
Docker pulls the image from the registry.
Docker creates a new container.
Docker allocates a read-write filesystem to the container.
Docker creates a network interface to connect the container to the default network.
Docker starts the container.
Top 6 most commonly used Server Types
Web Server:
Hosts websites and delivers web content to clients over the internetMail Server:
Handles the sending, receiving, and routing of emails across networksDNS Server:
Translates domain names (like bytebytego. com) into IP addresses, enabling users to access websites by their human-readable names.Proxy Server:
An intermediary server that acts as a gateway between clients and other servers, providing additional security, performance optimization, and anonymity.FTP Server:
Facilitates the transfer of files between clients and servers over a networkOrigin Server:
Hosts central source of content that is cached and distributed to edge servers for faster delivery to end users.
Over to you: Which type of server do you find most crucial in your online experience?

Why frontline emotional intelligence still matters in customer service
AI, meet EQ Brought to you by Liz Hilton Segel, chief client officer and managing partner, global industry practices, & Homayoun Hatami, managing partner, global client capabilities
The case for emotional intelligence in customer service
Today’s seamless, digital omnichannel environment can deliver a satisfying experience of one-click shopping, with nary the need to interact with another living soul. But there are still those crucial moments in the customer journey when the person hits a snag and desperately needs careful attention. Perhaps it’s a plane you’re urgently trying to catch after missing your connecting flight, an expensive article of clothing you’re hoping to return even though the return window has closed (and you’ve lost your receipt), or you’ve reached your limit waiting on hold while trying to sort out your cable bill.
These are what the authors of this McKinsey Quarterly classic call “moments of truth” in customer service—those defining moments when a customer has invested enormous amounts of emotional energy in the outcome. And if handled correctly, these moments can translate into lasting loyalty from the customer and profits for the company.
The driving force behind these successful moments of truth is the emotional intelligence, or EQ, of a company’s frontline staff. As AI technologies continue to proliferate, one might argue that good old-fashioned customer service has no place in today’s shopping experience. “But pure technological solutions,” the authors observe, “can never stoke the emotional connection between employee and customer.” (AI is, in fact, trying to learn from this very connection.)
To learn more about how managers can help foster value-creating EQ in their workers, read our 2006 classic “The ‘moment of truth’ in customer service.”Boost your EQ The next frontier of customer engagement: AI-enabled customer service

[ACTION REQUIRED by Aug 21st]: Changes to IP ranges for New Relic and Cloud Integrations
New Relic
1. Changes impacting cloud services (AWS, Azure, GCP)
On August 21st, 2023, New Relic will add new source IP ranges for our cloud integrations for AWS, AWS GovCloud, Azure, and GCP. If you use IP-based access controls, you will need to allow (whitelist) the following additional IP ranges to ensure uninterrupted service (note: you may see traffic from these IP addresses during our testing):
- 18.246.82.0/25
- 3.145.244.128/25
- 3.27.118.128/25
- 20.51.136.0/25
- 4.197.217.128/25
- 3.77.79.0/25
2. Changes impacting New Relic services
Additionally, New Relic’s infrastructure agent will start making use of the full range of IP addresses listed in our documentation as part of our continued scaling and optimization efforts. To ensure that our integrations can access New Relic domains, you will need to do the following:
- Allow (whitelist) the following IP ranges: 162.247.240.0/22 and 185.221.84.0/22
- Remove any hard-coded endpoints/IP addresses in your configuration.
