Choose your own venture. It’s been a challenging few years for global companies: sky-high geopolitical tensions have arrived on the back of soaring inflation, tight capital conditions, and the unprecedented disruptions of the pandemic. But business leaders are rising to meet today’s particular challenges with hope and resilience. How do we know? Leap by McKinsey asked more than 1,100 of them as part of the latest McKinsey Global Survey. Two-thirds of the CEOs we spoke with rank new-venture building as the top strategic move they expect to make in the next 12 months.

This type of forward thinking—not letting fear impede the pursuit of opportunity—makes sense from an anecdotal perspective. But there’s also hard data to back it up: according to our research, organizations that allocate 20 percent of their growth capital to new ventures achieve revenue growth that’s 2.0 percentage points higher than that of companies that don’t. For organizations worth more than $1 billion, this incremental growth rises to 2.5 percentage points.

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.

OVERVIEW:

To support growth of the digital economy, the Malaysian Government intends to implement e-Invoicing in stages in effort to enhance the efficiency and betterment of the country's tax administration management. The implementation of e-Invoicing to improve the quality of services and reduce compliance costs to taxpayers, while increasing the efficiency of business operations, as was announced by the Ministry of Finance.

Implementation timeline

The 2024 Finance Bill includes provisions modifying the timeline for introducing the e-invoicing mandate in Malaysia.

Although the first stage of implementation begins in Aug 2024 and is mandatory for business with a sales threshold of RM100m per year, the IRB welcomes organisations who are ready to undertake the programme to volunteer themselves for the pilot project.

e-Invoicing will become mandatory for all taxpayers regardless of sales threshold from July 2025. We should get ourselves ready and to gain an understanding and preparation of Malaysian e-invoicing, identify the impacts and operations.

How can the world accelerate its progress toward net zero?

DELIVERING ACTIONABLE INSIGHTS ON THE DAY’S NEWS

Brought to you by Alex Panas, global leader of industries, & Axel Karlsson, global leader of functional practices and growth platforms

The energy shift’s new stage

In the news

•

Dangerous weather. A recent report finds that since 2004, more than half a million people have lost their lives in ten weather disasters that were exacerbated by climate change. According to the New York Times, 2023 was the hottest year ever recorded and saw record-high greenhouse gas emissions—despite all of the evidence to date that global warming threatens human life. Many now recognize the climate-related dangers, but more widespread action is needed to reduce global emissions, says the cofounder of the organization behind the report. [NYT]

•

Air-conditioning’s power surge. The Financial Times reports that an expected surge in air-conditioning use could significantly boost future demand for electricity. The International Energy Agency finds that by 2050, growing wages in developing economies and climate-change-related temperature increases may lift power consumption by 280%. What’s more, the fluctuation in air conditioner usage could make it difficult to predict the day-to-day effects on power grids. [FT]

Increased energy demand and the continued use of fossil fuels mean that emissions could continue rising through 2025—and 2035, potentially.

On McKinsey.com

•

Rising emissions. While the world has made significant progress toward net zero since the 2015 Paris Agreement, the global energy transition is entering a new phase. To address the transition’s rising costs, complexity, and increased technological challenges, McKinsey senior partner Tomas Nauclér and coauthors say that stakeholders need to act with urgency and take a holistic approach. Even if all countries deliver on their current commitments, their analysis shows that global emissions to 2050 remain above the 1.5º target for global temperature increases.

•

Accelerating electrification. AI data centers, transportation, and green hydrogen are all fueling rapid growth in the demand for power. McKinsey’s scenario analysis suggests that between 2023 and 2050, electricity consumption could more than double if the energy transition moves slowly, and nearly triple if the transition is faster. To enable increasing electrification, the world will need to build resilient grids that connect new renewable-energy sources and support bidirectional flows. Read our report, Global Energy Perspective 2024, for a data-driven view of the energy transition.

READ IN APP

This is a guest newsletter by Ryan Peterman, who was promoted from Junior to Staff Engineer in 3 years at Meta.

Once you land that first software engineering job, the next big question becomes: how do you get promoted? Many engineers fall into the day-to-day routine of writing code without a clear idea of how to grow their careers.

This happened to me. At my first job at Amazon, I landed code without knowing what I could do to grow my skills. I left that job within eight months because I felt I wasn’t growing as an engineer. Three years later, I made it to Staff Software Engineer at Instagram after tons of mentorship. Early on, I learned that being good at coding wasn’t enough to get promoted; you have to think strategically about your career and often need to develop new behaviors to move up.

In this article, I’ll share everything that helped me fast-track my way up the ladder, from developing the right mindset to making key moves that many overlook. Even if rapid growth isn’t your goal, this guide has learnings for all tech career paths.

In this guide:

What is wind energy?

Only McKinsey Perspectives

DELIVERING ACTIONABLE INSIGHTS ON THE DAY’S NEWS

Brought to you by Alex Panas, global leader of industries, & Axel Karlsson, global leader of functional practices and growth platforms

Welcome to the latest edition of Only McKinsey Perspectives. We hope you find our insights useful. Let us know what you think at Alex_Panas@McKinsey.com and Axel_Karlsson@McKinsey.com.

—Alex and Axel

Harnessing the power of wind

In the news

•

The ‘age of electricity.’ Power-hungry data centers, electric cars, and new warehouses are propelling demand for electricity, which the New York Times reports is expected to reach new heights. According to the International Energy Agency’s current estimate, global electricity demand is expected to be 6% higher in 2035 than the agency’s 2023 forecast. New low-emissions energy sources, including wind and solar, will probably be enough to meet the increased demand. Nevertheless, countries are not building enough low-carbon sources of electricity to reach their net-zero emissions goals by 2050. [NYT]

•

Battling misinformation. US wind industry leaders say that more experts should dispute false information about wind energy in public forums, the Associated Press reports. Since 2023, opponents of offshore wind projects have been claiming that the installations pose a danger to wildlife, even as multiple government agencies report no evidence to support that notion. The industry still faces significant challenges as it strives to meet the target of generating at least one-fifth of the nation’s electricity from offshore wind by 2035. [AP]

McKinsey estimates that two critical metals used to make the high-power magnets in wind turbine generators will face a shortage of up to 60% in 2030.

On McKinsey.com

•

The growth of wind power. As climate change compels the world to decarbonize, wind energy—a renewable source of electrical or mechanical power—could help transform the energy sector. Renewable-energy generation is growing globally, McKinsey senior partner Humayun Tai and coauthors find, and wind power deployments are expected to grow by about 20% each year until 2050. Still, wind generation pipelines are generally delivering below what’s needed to achieve the 2015 Paris Agreement’s decarbonization targets for 2030.

•

Floating wind farms. Older offshore wind turbines had to be installed on foundations that were grounded on the seafloor in waters up to 50 meters deep. Now, newer turbines with floating foundations can potentially be installed in much deeper waters, an improvement that increases the viable sea area for offshore wind by a factor of five. Read our McKinsey Explainer “What is wind energy?” to understand the challenges and opportunities of the offshore-wind business, and visit the “McKinsey at COP29” page to explore our offerings at this year’s UN climate change conference .

Value-seeking consumers challenge retailers to elevate their holiday shopping offerings

Re:think

FRESH TAKES ON BIG IDEAS

ON HOLIDAY SHOPPING
How retailers can win the holiday season

By Tamara Charm

US consumers aren’t feeling so great about the economy. Their confidence is still below prepandemic levels, and many are concerned about making ends meet. Even though inflation has cooled, the prices consumers pay at the store are higher than they’re used to, dampening their already-diminished reported optimism.

This holiday season, retailers might think that sales will be more subdued than in years past. But that’s not necessarily the case. Consumers have more in their bank accounts than they did prepandemic (especially middle- and higher-income consumers). That makes for a somewhat confounding snapshot of the US consumer, where their actions and their words don’t match.

Here’s what it means for retailers ahead of holiday 2024: consumers are in a constant search for value—trading down in some categories so they can splurge on another product or service. It all comes down to whether consumers see something they really want at the right time, in the right place, and through the right channel.

In some ways, the holiday 2024 shopping season will resemble last year’s trends. Once again, the shopping season is longer (many consumers began shopping for holiday gifts in September) and characterized by a consumer search for value. AI-powered personalized promotions are going to be as important as ever. While consumers across age groups may find themselves in a “treat yourself” mood, this splurge mentality is most prevalent among Gen Zers and millennials: nearly 70 percent of Gen Zers and millennials say they plan to splurge on goods and services. Splurging will be particularly relevant in categories that are related to experiences. This could include products such as jewelry, which can be a means of self-expression, or a more traditional experience, such as staying at a great hotel. The through line is that consumers are looking for experiences that lessen the stress they feel about the world around them.

“Nearly 70 percent of Gen Zers and millennials say they plan to splurge on goods and services.”

Despite the inherent sales momentum that the holiday shopping season brings, retailers will need to step up their game, since consumers are more willing than ever to switch retailers to get what they want. As such, retailers should keep value top of mind and use smart sales strategies.

Consider loyalty programs, which can be a powerful tool for retailers. These programs can encourage consumers to make extra trips to the store, nab additional purchases, or increase their online cart value. But retailers must consider the strategy behind their loyalty offerings: Will their loyalty program actually increase a customer’s lifetime value? If so, a promotion or loyalty offering can be fruitful. But there are also consumers who would have purchased a given product with or without a promotion or loyalty offering. Developing a sophisticated approach to these programs alongside a clear understanding of consumer segments can help retailers realize their loyalty program’s full potential.

One thing that should be omnipresent is an omnichannel strategy. Retailers must be prepared to meet consumer demand, with products available when and where the consumer wants them. This means making sure that consumers can find the items in store that they might have seen in a personalized promotion on their phone. For younger consumers in particular, social media can serve as a means of “window shopping,” while the physical store becomes a place to make a much-deliberated purchase. Speaking of stores, retailers must also demonstrate operational agility through year-end. Retailers should consider when foot traffic was highest in their stores last year and plan for additional labor and extended hours to meet those needs again this year. Click-and-collect options (also known as buy online, pick up in store, or BOPIS) are also becoming more popular across categories.

As we enter the home stretch for holiday 2024, retail leaders can ask themselves: What are the things we offer that differentiate us from our competition? What are our customers telling us they want? And where do we need to show up for them stronger than ever before? The retailers that can coordinate across multiple channels and inspire consumers along the way will be those best positioned to top the “nice list” by year-end.
