The second edition of McKinsey’s State of Organizations research draws on insights from more than 10,000 senior executives across 15 countries and 16 industries. While performance remains the top priority, the focus has shifted from short-term resilience to sustained productivity and long-term impact, with technology and AI at the center of transformation. The big takeaway is that in an uncertain world, sustained performance and value creation are the priority, ahead of short-term gains.
Key insights include:
- 86% of leaders feel their organizations are not very prepared to adopt AI in day-to-day operations
- 2/3 of leaders think their organizations are overly complex and inefficient
- Only 30% of organizations reallocate resources enterprise-wide
