Barriers to EV adoption, and how to topple them
Harmony Internal - McKinsey
Break down barriers Yes, I'm still interested Brought to you by Liz Hilton Segel & Homayoun Hatami
Global leaders, Industry & Capabilities PracticesElectric vehicles are here. So why aren’t they everywhere? It’s complicated. Cultural and economic reliance on the internal-combustion engine are just two significant hurdles. But there’s hope for adoption and scale, says Russell Hensley, co-leader of the McKinsey Center for Future Mobility in the Americas on this week’s episode of The McKinsey Podcast. He shares a slew of ideas with McKinsey editorial director Roberta Fusaro—plus a deliciously savory idea for road trip grub.
Quote of the day

Blasting off into the space economy
Harmony Internal - McKinsey
Discover what's ahead Yes, I'm still interested Brought to you by Liz Hilton Segel & Homayoun Hatami
Global leaders, Industry & Capabilities PracticesSpace has always been fascinating to humans, for its austere beauty—and because, for most of us, it has remained totally unattainable. That’s changing. Thanks to lower costs, technological advances, and increased private sector funding, the space economy is more bustling than ever. The number of space-related startups funded annually more than doubled between 2010 and 2018, and companies across industries are exploring opportunities that once seemed too expensive and difficult to bother with. In a new article, McKinsey senior partner Ryan Brukardt explains what’s on—and beyond—the horizon for organizations in the space economy.

Operational excellence takes the spotlight. Here’s why.
Re:think
Sharpen your operations edge FRESH TAKES ON BIG IDEAS
If your business has survived—or even thrived—during three years of historic challenges, you might think that you’re set for whatever comes next. But how can you be sure? Consistently high-performing organizations know that skill matters, in the form of operational excellence. And there are three reasons that this concept, rooted in the foundational principles of lean management, is more important than ever. First, despite recent headlines, attrition remains high, as a new generation seeks more purposeful work. Second, labor productivity has stagnated worldwide even as labor costs rise in many markets. And third, depending on data source, two-thirds of executives are dissatisfied with the return on their investments in technology. So there’s never been a better time to get really good at what your enterprise does—all across your operations.
Operational excellence, as we define it, includes a demonstrated commitment to strategy and purpose, to behaviors aligned to drive that purpose, and to support from tech-enabled operating, management, and organizational systems. Those who truly understand operational excellence think about it as a commitment to action. It’s not a function—it’s a way of working. A way of investing in people. A way of delivering more value to customers. It’s important enough to be among the top priorities of CEOs.
Over the past ten years, we have been developing the Operational Excellence Index, an assessment of operational maturity. It provides benchmarks for organizations to establish baselines and measure improvements over time. We assess performance against four measures: How well is an individual’s work connected to the organization’s overall purpose, strategy, and vision? How well are teams set up to deliver on those aspirations? How well is the institution set up to build the skills of its individuals? And last, are employees continuously improving in their jobs?“Those who truly understand operational excellence think about it as a commitment to action. It’s not a function—it’s a way of working. A way of investing in people. A way of delivering more value to customers.”
Operational excellence is only as good as your ability to apply it. So it will look slightly different in a mine than in a call center. But the behaviors you would expect from great leaders and their ability to connect with their teams don’t change all that much.
In our work with many organizations over the past decade, we see four paths they have taken:• Accelerators are top performers in their industry; they use operational excellence as a foundation to reach their potential.
• Sustainers focus on preserving their strong operational excellence foundation, with incremental improvement.
• The Distracted began implementing the principles of operational excellence but have since become sidetracked by competing priorities.
• The Reluctant have yet to embark on an operational excellence journey and therefore have never established a meaningful level of maturity.

The upside of delivering tough feedback Yes, I'm still interested Brought to you by Liz Hilton Segel & Homayoun Hatami
Global leaders, Industry & Capabilities Practices• New term, old problem. Senior partner Bill Schaninger and partner Bryan Hancock have seen versions of quiet quitting, social loafing, or skating by on the performance of stronger team members in the work landscape for decades. What’s different today, they say, is that “a perfect storm” of the COVID-19 pandemic, working from home, and bosses not checking in as much has contributed to pervasive disengagement, exhaustion, and loneliness. Employers who want to minimize quitting, quiet quitting, and other expressions of malaise need to take action.

How the defense industry could lead the climate charge
Harmony Internal - McKinsey
Read the interview Yes, I'm still interested Brought to you by Liz Hilton Segel & Homayoun Hatami
Global leaders, Industry & Capabilities PracticesFormer Netherlands defense chief Thomas Middendorp, the so-called ‘climate general’, admits that the relationship between climate change and national security might not be immediately obvious. But look a little closer, and the signs are there: the Taliban taking advantage of social tensions in Afghanistan triggered by water shortages; poor farmers and fishermen driven by famine to piracy in Somalia. Defense players, he says in conversation with McKinsey partner Axel Esqué, need to be prepared to adapt to rapidly changing circumstances. But it’s not just about responding to threats. Middendorp also sees the transition toward green technologies as an opportunity for the defense industry to lead with innovation—and set an example for the world.

On Point
Five domains of the next era Yes, I'm still interested Brought to you by Liz Hilton Segel & Homayoun Hatami
Global leaders, Industry & Capabilities Practices• A potential new era. After three decades of relative calm, today’s unnerving events have largely come as surprises: a global pandemic, energy scarcity, rapid inflation, and rising geopolitical tensions. Similar to how the aftermath of World War II, the oil crisis of the early 1970s, and the breakup of the Soviet Union each ushered in a new epoch, could the world now be on the cusp of a new era? A new McKinsey Global Institute paper by senior partners Chris Bradley, Sven Smit, and Jonathan Woetzel and partner Jeongmin Seong suggests a framework to imagine the potential new era.

What motivates employees to stay? A leader’s guide
Harmony Internal - McKinsey
Playing for keeps Yes, I'm still interested Edited by Rama Ramaswami
Senior Editor, New YorkCan a high-performing organization have a soul? Rishad Premji, executive chairman of India-based IT services provider Wipro, answers that question in this discussion with McKinsey partner Anuj Kadyan. “To me, culture represents the soul of the organization,” says Premji. That conviction underlies his initiative to make Wipro more “empathetic, vulnerable, collaborative, and decent.” Premji’s cultural-transformation program, launched after he took the helm in 2019, is centered on the development of five simple core habits among Wipro employees—being respectful, being responsive, communicating, demonstrating stewardship, and building trust—that together improve performance. “These habits provide a very strong foundation for what is necessary to build a high-performing organization,” says Premji. “We want to institutionalize this in our thinking, so many of our people processes are incorporating it, including our appraisal process and salary increase process.”
That’s the percentage of companies in a McKinsey survey that are not experiencing greater turnover—at a time when attrition is increasing on a global scale. What’s their secret to retaining talent? According to research by McKinsey’s Neel Gandhi and others, it may lie in their ability to balance “hygiene” factors, which are basic employment features such as compensation and working conditions, with “motivators”: elements that influence employees to stay, such as concern for their well-being and development, rewards and recognition, and strong relationships with coworkers and managers.
That’s managers responding to a McKinsey survey question on what prevents their companies from matching top talent to their most important business priorities. Respondents cite the same reason for their companies’ reluctance to provide more skills-based training. In our survey of 21 talent best practices, company leaders come off as the biggest impediments to adopting better ways of working: for example, 52 percent of non-CEO respondents believe that their company leadership doesn’t value the use of “clear structures, roles, and responsibilities to streamline work.” Considering the positive effects of talent management on business outcomes, as shown in research by McKinsey’s Dana Maor, Bill Schaninger, and others, leaders may want to consider making talent the most important thing to worry about.
‘Talent requires development,’ says economist and author Tyler Cowen in this Forward Thinking podcast hosted by McKinsey partner Michael Chui. “If all you end up with is what you start out with, you’re not going to be good, really, at anything.” One aspect of developing talent may involve creating higher aspirations in people who may not normally think of themselves as successful. “I don’t think we think carefully or explicitly enough of how [we can] bend upwards everyone’s what I call ‘aspiration curve’ so they can strive for higher and better things,” Cowen says. One way that organizations can encourage progress on that curve is to support employees in taking on new roles, which can offer better learning opportunities or a more significant share of skills and responsibilities than their previous job did. McKinsey research shows that 40 to 50 percent of role moves involve pay increases and that workers making these moves manage to boost their earnings by 30 to 45 percent on average each time.
Be prepared to work extra hard to keep your best people. “It’s remarkable how much of a productivity kicker an organization gets from top talent,” says McKinsey senior partner Scott Keller in this article on the relationship between talent quality and business performance. “In highly complex occupations ... high performers are an astounding 800 percent more productive.” But don’t take these superstars for granted, warns the author of this Harvard Business Review article on retaining high-potential talent. “If you rely on these people for outstanding organizational performance, you must treat them as valued, unique individuals,” he says. “Never dismiss their ideas, never allow their progress to be blocked, and never miss the chance to shower them with praise when they succeed.”
Lead with talent.

A venture capitalist explains why this may be a great time to launch a start-up
On Point
The promise and perils facing start-ups Yes, I'm still interested Edited by Alexandra Mondalek
Editor, New York• Tailwinds despite headwinds. “There have been plenty of great companies started in the troughs to suggest that there’s no reason to stop investing,” says VC Bill Gurley. Even with all the macroeconomic factors contributing to a tense global climate, some favorable conditions—such as a newly far-reaching talent pool and access to cheaper real estate—mean that a start-up can still build a strong foundation today, according to Gurley.
• Lessons from a downturn. One thing that makes this potential downturn different is that there have been “a lot of companies with huge amounts of revenue, some with massive losses,” explains Gurley.
