Thursday, 13 Feb
10-11 a.m. EST / 3-4 p.m. GMT
Kweilin Ellingrud and Kevin Russell

Only 40 percent of the global population currently lives above the “empowerment line” – a measure of the ability to afford basic needs. Join Kweilin Ellingrud and Kevin Russell, authors of our recent McKinsey Global Institute report, to discuss ways companies can help improve the level of global empowerment while also enhancing business outcomes.

Planning for the next wave of M&A

Jake Henry and Mieke van Oostende

Many signs point to increased M&A activity in 2025. Join Jake Henry and Mieke Van Oostende, co-leaders of our M&A practice, to discuss our upcoming annual M&A report and how to best leverage the opportunities an increase in activity could create.

Shifting gears: Lessons in strategic resilience from the automotive industry

Thursday, 27 Feb
10-11 a.m. EST / 3-4 p.m. GMT

Private equity started to emerge from the fog of previous years in 2024.

Join us as Christopher Croke and Alex Edlich discuss what’s next in private equity from our upcoming 2025 Global Private Markets report.

Creating value through separations
Wednesday, 5 Mar
10-11 a.m. EST / 3-4 p.m. GMT
Jamie Koenig and Anna Mattson

Corporate separations have become a more widely adopted approach for creating value, but their popularity does not guarantee success. Join us as Jamie Koenig and Anna Mattson share how to help ensure separations create value – by developing a strong operating model, matching talent to the right roles, and clearly communicating the "why" across the organization.

Building transformation momentum through working capital optimization
Tuesday, 11 Mar
10-11 a.m. EDT / 3-4 p.m. GMT
Marvin Denis, Jakob Rüden, and Ojas Shah

While the full impact of a transformation can often emerge over a longer time horizon, driving measurable early impact is important to creating momentum and exciting stakeholders across the organization. Join us as Marvin Denis, Jakob Rüden, and Ojas Shah discuss how organizations can optimize their working capital in the early stages of a transformation to create longer-term momentum.

Bridging the gap between strategy and execution
Thursday, 27 Mar
10-11 a.m. EDT / 3-4 p.m. GMT
Alex D’Amico, Alejandro Krell, and Whitney Zimmerman

In times of profound change, the fundamentals of effective strategy remain crucial. As the longevity of S&P 500 companies continues to fall, the importance of robust strategy development – and execution – has never been greater. Join Alex D’Amico, Alejandro Krell, and Whitney Zimmerman as they discuss their new article on how leaders can create strategies that both set the direction and reach the destination.

Over the past 30 years only one in 10 companies has produced above-GDP growth. While many leaders have adopted a mindset for growth, their actions often have not supported their aspirations.

Taking a proactive approach to geopolitics
On demand edition of live session held on January 30

Strategies for a transforming demographic landscape
On demand edition of live session held on February 5
Declining fertility rates worldwide are causing a significant shift in demographics, with a declining working-age - and increasingly older – population. This will require a rethinking of employers’ approaches to work and retirement. Join us as Anu Madgavkar, Sven Smit, and Olivia White discuss actions executives can take to prepare for this fast-changing landscape based on our latest McKinsey Global Institute report.
