Monthly Highlights, December 2022

Managing complex organizations is much harder today than it was just a few years ago, write Homayoun Hatami, McKinsey global leader of capabilities practices, and Liz Hilton Segel, McKinsey global leader of industry practices. How can CEOs decide what needs to be done now and what can wait? Our featured stories this month outline six priorities that feature prominently on worldwide CEO agendas, as well as five core actions to help CEOs meet dual imperatives—resilience and net zero—at the heart of a new sustainability strategy. Other highlights in this month’s issue include the following topics:

a framework to help companies prioritize actions and collaborations that can contribute to sustainable, inclusive growth

a view of the flows driving global integration and an assessment of interdependency and concentration risks

why companies will need to begin building many more businesses than they have thus far to meet their revenue expectations in the years ahead

how a skill-based approach can help US employers expand talent pools and retain great workers
