  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.

  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.

• How can CFOs make better decisions through carbon accounting?

  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 Carbon management challenges In the news • Rethinking value. For CFOs who are required to disclose their companies’ climate-related information, reporting must now encompass more than the typical information on income and cash flow, an analyst says on FutureCFO.net. As organizations must start accounting for nonfinancial sources of value, CFOs have a leading role to play in helping their companies develop a more holistic perspective of value. Such a view could include, for instance, the short-, medium-, and long-term effects on an environmental issue to which the company’s activities have contributed. [FutureCFO] • An evolving landscape. As governments are drafting and enacting legislation that mandates corporate climate reporting, CFOs face a slew of new sustainability-related responsibilities, Raconteur reports. Yet as finance chiefs prepare to document their companies’ progress on environmental goals, an unclear regulatory outlook is “slowing [them] down,” shares an expert. One CFO says that to realize sustainability’s business benefits, finance leaders need to consider climate resilience as core to strategy and approach the matter from a commercial standpoint—rather than just a compliance-related one. [Raconteur] By enforcing uniform, company-wide metrics and improving accountability, CFOs can use carbon reporting to help reduce decarbonization costs. On McKinsey.com • CFOs and carbon management. For some companies, tracking and reporting carbon emissions is mission essential, legally required, or both. CFOs must ensure that their companies’ carbon management initiatives are both consistent with strategic and compliance needs and attuned to the needs of external stakeholders. Yet all too often, companies have multiple, inconsistent, and ineffective carbon data and analyses, or lack meaningful emissions data altogether, McKinsey senior partner Hemant Ahlawat and coauthors explain. • Improved data, improved decisions. Accurate, granular data are critical to the finance function’s success with carbon accounting. Done well, carbon accounting can enable companies to stay ahead of regulatory developments and create far-reaching business benefits. When finance teams use an enterprise-resource-planning system to align carbon accounting with financial accounting, carbon accounting can inform decisions in sales, product development, and sourcing that—when taken together—can create new value for the company. Consider the range of actions CFOs can take to help their organizations reduce emissions, and visit our COP29 page to connect with McKinsey’s delegates at the UN’s annual climate change conference.

If you find any inaccuracies or omissions, please leave a comment, and we will do our best to fix them. The famous productivity app Notion has witnessed a staggering 10X data growth since 2021.  At the start of 2021, they had around 20 billion block rows in Postgres. In 2024, this figure has grown to more than 200 billion blocks. The data volume, even when compressed, is hundreds of terabytes. Moreover, all of this block data has been doubling every 6 to 12 months, driven by user activity and content creation. Notion’s engineering team had to manage this rapid growth while meeting the ever-increasing data demands of the core product and the analytics use cases. This required them to build and scale Notion’s data lake. In this post, we’ll take a look at the challenges Notion faced while doing so and how they overcame those challenges. What is a Block? Before going further, it’s important to understand the concept of “Block” in Notion. Everything you see in the Notion editor (texts, images, headings, lists, pages, etc) is modeled as a “block” entity in the backend. The block types may have different front-end representations and behaviors. However, they are all stored in a Postgres database with a consistent structure, schema, and associated metadata. See the diagram below for reference: As Notion started to see data growth, its engineering team opted for sharding to scale the monolithic Postgres instance. In 2021, the Postgres database was sharded to 32 physical instances with each instance comprising 15 logical shards. Next, in 2023, they increased to 96 physical instances with 5 logical shards per instance. In essence, they maintained a total of 480 logical shards while increasing the number of physical instances. See the diagram below for reference: In 2021, Postgres at Notion catered to online user traffic as well as the various offline data analytics and machine learning requirements. However, as the demands grew for both data needs, the Notion engineering team decided to build a dedicated data infrastructure to handle offline data without interfering with online traffic. Build client and partner portals in 30 minutes (Sponsored) Are your engineering teams spending months building and maintaining customer-facing dashboards and portals? Join our 30-minute demo to see how you can: Launch custom portals with minimal engineering resources Build end-to-end white-labeled, beautiful apps Add user auth and secure data access Simplify development with multi-tenant workspaces Hear why companies are building their products and client-facing tools with Retool: Teachable launched enterprise analytics to 1,000+ customers in just two months, while Ylopo scaled their customer portal from hundreds to tens of thousands of users in weeks by externalizing their Retool apps. Register today The Initial Data Warehouse Architecture Notion built the first dedicated data infrastructure in 2021. It was a simple ELT (Extract, Load, and Transform) pipeline. See the diagram below: The pipeline worked as follows: A third-party tool Fivetran ingested data from the Postgres WAL (Write Ahead Log) for all the 480 shards. In other words, there were 480 hourly-run connectors. Fivetran sent the ingested data to 480 raw Snowflake tables. Within Snowflake, these tables were merged into a single large table for analytics, reporting, and machine learning requirements. There were multiple scaling challenges with this approach. 1 - Operational Difficulty Monitoring and managing 480 Fivetran connectors (one for every shard) was a difficult job.  Activities such as re-syncing these connectors during Postgres re-sharding, upgrade, and maintenance periods created a significant on-call burden for the support team. 2 - Speed and Cost Ingesting data to Snowflake became slower and costlier, particularly due to Notion’s update-heavy workload. Since Notion’s primary use is note-taking and managing those notes, users update existing blocks much more often than they add new ones. This results in an update-heavy workload.  However, most data warehouses (including Snowflake) are optimized for insert-heavy workloads. 3 - Support for Requirements Even more than the first two, the lack of support for certain requirements eventually became a more important challenge. As Notion grew, the data transformation logic became more complex and heavy, making it difficult to handle using the standard SQL interface offered by off-the-shelf data warehouses. For example, an important use case was to construct denormalized views of Notion’s block data for key features related to AI and Search. However, constructing permission data for a block was difficult since it wasn’t statically stored in Postgres but constructed on the fly via tree traversal computation. See the example below: In this example, the various blocks (block_1, block_2, and block_3) inherit permissions from their immediate parents (page_3 and page_2) and ancestors (page_1 and the workspace itself).  Permission data for such blocks can be built only by traversing the tree up to the root (i.e. the workspace). With billions of blocks, Notion found this computation very costly in Snowflake. Notion’s New Data Lake Due to the challenges with scaling and operating the initial data warehouse, Notion decided to build a new in-house data lake with the below objectives: The data repository should be capable of storing both raw and processed data at scale. Data ingestion and computation for Notion’s update-heavy block data should be fast, scalable, and cost-efficient. Support for denormalized data that can unlock critical features like AI and Search. The diagram below shows the high-level design of the new data lake. The process works as follows: Incrementally updated data is ingested from Postgres to Kafka using Debezium CDC connectors. Apache Hudi, an open-source data processing and storage framework, writes these updates from Kafka to S3. This is the raw data. Next, the raw data is transformed, denormalized (tree traversal and permission data construction), and enriched.  The processed data is stored in S3 again or in downstream systems to serve analytics and reporting needs. While the final look of the design seems quite straightforward, Notion arrived at it after making several important design decisions. Let’s look at a few of them in more detail. 1 - Choosing a Data Repository and Lake Notion used S3 as a data repository and lake to store both the raw and processed data. Other product-facing data stores such as ElasticSearch, Vector Database, and Key-Value store were downstream of this. Choosing S3 was a logical choice since Notion’s Postgres database is based on AWS RDS and its export-to-S3 feature made it easy to bootstrap tables in S3. Also, S3 is proven to store large amounts of data and support data processing engines like Spark at low cost. 2 - Choosing the Processing Engine Notion engineering team chose Spark as the main data processing engine. As an open-source framework, it was easy to set up and evaluate. There were some key benefits to using Spark: A wide range of built-in functions and UDFs beyond SQL enable complex data processing logic like tree traversal and block data denormalization. Existence of a user-friendly PySpark framework for light use cases and advanced Scala Spark for high-performance, and heavy data processing. Ability to process large-scale data in a distributed manner. 3 - Incremental Ingestion or Snapshot Dump Based on performance and cost comparisons, Notion went with a hybrid design with more emphasis on incremental ingestion. During normal operations, they ingest and continuously apply changed Postgres data to S3. In rare cases, they take a full Postgres snapshot once to bootstrap tables in S3. This was done because the incremental approach ensures fresher data at a lower cost and minimal delay. For example, the incremental approach takes a few minutes to a couple of hours as compared to the snapshot dump taking more than 10 hours and costs twice as much. 4 - Streamline Incremental Ingestion The Notion engineering team chose the Kafka Debezium CDC (Change Data Capture) connector to publish incrementally changed Postgres data to Kafka. This was done for the scalability, ease of setup, and close integration with the existing infrastructure. For ingesting incremental data from Kafka to S3, they chose Apache Hudi. Other options on the table were Apache Iceberg and DataBricks Delta Lake. However, Hudi gave a better performance with Notion’s update-heavy workload along with native integration with Debezium CDC messages. 5 - Ingest Raw Data Before Processing Another interesting decision was to ingest raw Postgres data to S3 without on-the-fly processing. This was done to create a single source of truth and simplify debugging across the data pipeline. Once the data is in S3, they perform the transformation, denormalization, and enrichment. The intermediate data is once again stored in S3 and only highly clean, structured, and business-critical data is ingested to downstream analytics systems. Solving Scaling Challenges of the New Data Lake Since the data volume at Notion was ever-growing, the engineering team took many steps to tackle the scalability challenges. Here are a few important ones to understand. 1 - CDC Connector and Kafka They set up one Debezium CDC connector per Postgres host and deployed them in an AWS EKS cluster.  For reference, the diagram below shows how CDC with Debezium and Kafka works on a high level. Also, there is one Kafka topic per Postgres table, and all connectors consuming from 480 shards write to the same topic for that table. This approach simplified downstream Hudi ingestion to S3 by reducing the complexity of maintaining 480 separate topics for each table. 2 - Hudi Setup The Notion engineering team used Apache Hudi Deltastreamer (Spark-based) to consume Kafka messages and replicate Postgres tables in S3. They utilized COPY_ON_WRITE Hudi table type with UPSERT operation to support the update-heavy workload. Some key optimizations were as follows: Partitioned data using the Postgres shard scheme (i.e. 480 shards). Sorted data based on the last updated time (event_lsn) Set index type to bloom filter. 3 - Spark Data Processing Setup They used PySpark for the majority of data processing jobs because of its low learning curve and accessibility to team members. For tasks like tree traversal and denormalization, they utilized Scala Spark. A key optimization was to manage data by handling large and small shards differently. Small shards were loaded entirely into memory whereas large shards were managed through disk reshuffling. Also, to optimize runtime and efficiency, they implemented multi-threading and parallel processing for 480 shards. 4 - Bootstrap Setup The bootstrap setup works as follows: To bootstrap new tables, they first set up a Debezium Connector to ingest Postgres changes to Kafka.  They start the AWS RDS export-to-S3 job from a specific timestamp to save the latest snapshot of Postgres tables to S3.  Next, they create a Spark job to read the data from S3 and write them to the Hudi table format. To maintain data completeness and integrity, all changes made during the snapshotting process are captured by setting up Deltastreamer to read Kafka messages from the specific timestamp. Conclusion Notion’s data lake infrastructure project development started in the spring of 2022 and was completed by the fall. It has been a huge success for them in terms of cost and reliability. Some key benefits have been as follows: Over $1 million in cost savings in 2022. Proportionally higher savings in 2023 and 2024. Ingestion time reduced from 1+ day to minutes/hours Re-sync is possible within 24 hours without overloading databases. Accommodate Notion’s 6-12 month data doubling rate. Enabled successful rollout of Notion AI features in the year 2023-2024.

  17 Dec 2024 (Tue)  |  9am – 5pm                 .

   

   

  SYNOPSIS:

  Mistakes and errors are becoming the talk of every day when something goes wrong. Industries, this elevates to high level as the number of people and number of machines are in large number. Most of the times when mistakes and errors happen, the training and awareness levels are blamed and immediate attention given to training and awareness. however this two only last for a few weeks and the scenario returns back.

   

  In reality, training and awareness cannot eliminate mistakes and errors. This are just temporary actions that will contain problems from spreading. Training and awareness building are just like tonic drink " livita "and will last only fora short period. Therefore hoping on this two will never solve the issue of mistakes and errors.

   

  In 1963, a Japanese statistical engineer by the name of Mr. Shigeo Shingo, proved that :

  · People will makemistakes

  · People can make mistakes

  · Mistakes and errors are un-avoidable

   

  In his study, he found, in-order to eliminate mistakes and errors, one should look for the potential that caused the mistake or error. By eliminating the potential we can prevent mistakes and errors from making. every mistake or error has one or many potentials that are waiting to happen. As long as this are not eliminated, the mistakes and errors are doomed to happen.

   

  Mr. Shigeo Shingo devised a method to eliminate the potential which he named as 'Poka Yoke' that translates to" eliminate unintentional mistakes". This concept spread world wide as a formidable tool for eliminating mistakes and errors. Poka Yoke becoming a well known mistake proofing tool in all manufacturing industries.

  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 A snapshot on sustainable fuels In the news • A lack of supply. What do leftover cooking oil, agricultural residues, and vegetable fats have in common? All of these substances can be turned into sustainable aviation fuels (SAFs), which can be burned without increasing carbon dioxide levels in the atmosphere, the BBC explains. While it may take years to develop fully electric planes, SAFs can be engineered in labs to mimic crude-oil-based fuels so they can be used in current aircraft. Still, the cost of SAFs remains high and supply remains low. In Europe, greener fuels account for only 0.05% of the jet fuel that the region uses. [BBC] • Green aviation fuel dealmaking. Across the globe, airlines and governments are striking up deals that support the fledgling SAF industry, CNBC reports. A major US air carrier has teamed up with a Finnish supplier to provide SAF at an international airport in the Midwest, while an East Asian country recently set a target that requires the nation’s outbound international flights to use a blend of fuel that contains about 1% SAF by 2027. Meanwhile, investors are seeking assurances that public sector leaders intend to promote SAF production over the long term. [CNBC] McKinsey analysis suggests that sustainable fuels are one of 12 technologies that, taken together, could curb total greenhouse gas emissions by as much as 90%. On McKinsey.com • Sustainable fuels’ potential. As organizations take steps to reduce their effects on the climate, leaders are increasingly considering the potential of sustainable fuels—rather than the fossil fuels that contribute to the rapid warming of our planet. For instance, as McKinsey partners Axel Esqué and Daniel Riefer and coauthor Geert Mulder highlight, the SAFs already certified for use in today’s jet engines produce about 80% fewer greenhouse gas emissions than traditional jet fuel. • Rising demand. Even though some sustainable-fuel industries are still emerging, McKinsey research projects significant growth for most sustainable fuels—other than clean hydrogen—by 2030. In fact, by 2050, McKinsey expects the demand for sustainable fuels to quadruple, and that sustainable fuels could account for as much as 37% of all energy used in the transportation sector.
