FOUR OF OUR BEST NEW IDEAS FOR THE C-SUITE

Curated by Liz Hilton Segel, chief client officer and managing partner, global industry practices, & Homayoun Hatami, managing partner, global client capabilities

In 2023, we talked with hundreds of CEOs about their plans and priorities, successes and struggles. We collected the wisdom of that illustrious crowd in our new interactive article “What matters most? Eight CEO priorities for 2024.” In this edition of the CEO Shortlist, we’ll look closely at four of the priorities that CEOs say are guiding their plans for the coming year. And when we come back in January 2024, we’ll look at the other four. We hope you enjoy the read, and have a restful and festive end of year.

—Liz and Homayoun

Gen AI: Innovators dominate headlines, but scalers dominate markets. Thousands of companies all over the world are already using simple gen AI applications to radically transform every imaginable business activity. In 2024, CEOs will race to figure out how to scale from one application to many —and, critically, what the new tools will mean for work and the workforce.

What’s now

As the digital era enters middle age, most companies have at least started a digital and AI transformation. But few are getting the results they want. That’s usually because they haven’t done the fundamental organizational rewiring needed to extract maximum value from the hard work of digitizing the enterprise. Enter Rewired: The McKinsey Guide to Outcompeting in the Age of Digital and AI, our 2023 book that lays out our best insights for balancing priorities, assuring value, and finishing the job.
