| | | | This weekend, take a moment to explore fresh insights on the competitive advantage of AI fluency in the workplace, closing the agentic adoption gap, and more.
| | |
| | |
| | AI fluency is becoming the common language of work and an imperative for competitiveness. Alexis Krivkovich, Brooke Weddle, and Maurice Obeid explain why the next divide won’t be defined by access to AI, but by how quickly organizations can build fluency across their workforce—and what that could mean for productivity, innovation, and economic opportunity. | | | |
| |
| | Traditional change management isn’t enough to unlock the value of agentic AI. Instead, change leadership should be continuous, behavior-led, and embedded in the work itself. Arne Gast, Ben Fletcher, Karim Thomas, Natacha Catalino, Thibaut Larrat, and coauthors outline five areas leaders can focus on to put people at the center of creating value from AI and close the adoption gap. | | | |
| |
| | What if industrial growth went beyond long-standing customer relationships? Andrea Queirolo, David Ebenstein, Harsha Krishnamurthy, and coauthors explore how industrial leaders can use AI to boost sales productivity, codify expertise, sharpen pricing, and systemically uncover new sources of growth. | | | |
| |
| | The United States continues to face a persistent maternal-health crisis, especially for Black mothers. In a conversation with McKinsey’s Fadesola Adetosoye, Joy Rhoden, senior vice president of Health Outcomes and Care Transformation at the American Hospital Association, discusses how leadership, data-driven interventions, and authentic community partnerships can improve maternal health and save lives. | | | |

| | | | | Most companies do the work of strategy, but many do not create enough value from it. On September 1, join Andy West, Tim Koller, and Whitney Zimmerman, authors of our forthcoming book Strategy and Value, as they share a preview and discuss what distinguishes strategy that actually drives long-term performance and value creation. | | Register now  | | | |

| | | | | Technology may power AI transformation, but people determine whether it succeeds. Leaders can build trust through transparency, clarity, and investment in employees to create lasting change. | | How leaders can earn trust | | | |
