People will demand to be more autonomous, entrepreneurial and free from the constraints of time and place. Businesses need to create a compelling people experience to drive success in a world where technology and changing expectations are redefining what working means for everyone. 4 | Secure your future people experience Your people experience is at risk Much of today’s conversation about the future of work depicts an epic battle between machines and humans.

    2015 Number 4 Copyright © 2015 McKinsey & Company. All rights reserved. Published since 1964 by McKinsey & Company, 55 East 52nd Street, New York, New York 10022. Cover illustration by Vasava McKinsey Quarterly meets the Forest Stewardship Council (FSC) chain-of- custody standards. The paper used in the Quarterly is certified as being produced in an environ- mentally responsible, socially beneficial, and economi- cally viable way. Printed in the United States of America. 2015 Number 4 This Quarter It’s almost a truism these days to say that modern corporations must be agile. The pace of industry disruption arising from the digital revolution, combined with nimble, new competitors—including many from emerging markets—have raised the cost of complacency and rigidity. But what does it mean to achieve agility? This issue’s cover package tries to answer that question, starting with intriguing new McKinsey research. Using data from McKinsey’s Organizational Health Index, Michael Bazigos, Aaron De Smet, and Chris Gagnon show how organizations that combine speed with stability are far likelier to be healthy than companies that simply move fast. The utility sector is a striking example of one industry that needs to combine flexibility and stability. Although digital competitors, new data-based business models, and renewable-energy sources are changing the landscape in certain markets, the industry’s sprawl- ing base of heavy assets remains core to its future. Sven Heiligtag and his colleagues Dominik Luczak and Eckart Windhagen describe how a number of leading utilities are trying to straddle these two worlds, suggesting some lessons for companies in other sectors.

  • Date: This Email Is in Response to Your Request That I Review the Booz Allen
    Larry Fisher <[email protected]> [Addto AddressBook] [This is spaml To: barrett. [email protected] Cc: [email protected], [email protected] Subject: Feedback on BAH Contract I Gallup Survey followup comments Date: Apr 11, 2006 4:00 PM This Email is in response to your request that I review the Booz Allen Hamilton (BAH) write-up concerning EPA's internal control weaknesses, as mandated by OMB A-123. My first general comment is that the majority of the information contained in BAH's review of EPA's internal control weaknesses are not revelations bu a regurgitation of information that is already known within EPA. In short, the survey was not only unnecessary but another example of why I characterized the actions of the Central Agencies' and EPA's (current and prospective) revolving door bureaucrats and their politically connected contractors as self serving and a gross waste of our tax dollars. In my April 7 OCFO Gallup Survey Email, I expressed my concern that the sole function of the Central Agencies' and agency's revolving door bureaucrats was not to resolve the government's accountability problems but to secure a lucrative and on-going revenue source for themselves and their corporate benefactors. The rational for that statement is based upon my 6- year experience as a Veterans Administration (VA) Branch Chief where my staff prepared the VA's agency level financial statements (using the Central Agencies' policies), lO-years system accountant experience with EPA and the Treasury Department (and liaison work with OMS and GAO). In additio I have successfully completed an accounting model (in 3-years) replicating the federa government's accounting and budgeting processes.

  • The State of Sex: Tourism, Sex and Sin in the New American Heartland
    THE STATE OF SEX The State of Sex is a study of Nevada’s legal brothels that situates the nation’s only legal brothel industry in the political economy of con- temporary tourism. Nevada is part of the “new American heartland,” as its pastimes, people, and politics have become more central to the nation. The rise of a service and leisure economy over the past 60 years has propelled sexuality into the heart of contemporary markets. Yet, neoliberal laws in the United States promote business but limit sexual commerce. How have Nevada’s legal brothels survived, while the rest of the country criminalizes prostitution? How do the brothels operate? Who works in them? This book brings social theory on globalizing econ- omies, politics, leisure consumption, and emotional labor in interactive service work together with research on contemporary prostitution and sexual commerce. The authors employ an innovative, multi-method sociological approach, combining historical analysis of how the brothels came to be with over a decade’s worth of ethnographic research on the current state of the industry. Barbara G. Brents, Ph.D., is Associate Professor of Sociology and Faculty Affiliate in Women’s Studies at the University of Nevada, Las Vegas. Crystal A. Jackson, M.A., is a Ph.D. student in the Department of Sociology at the University of Nevada, Las Vegas. Kathryn Hausbeck, Ph.D., is Senior Associate Dean of the Graduate College and Associate Professor in Sociology at the University of Nevada, Las Vegas. Edited by Valerie Jenness, University of California–Irvine and Jodi O’Brien, Seattle University This innovative series is for all readers interested in books that provide frameworks for making sense of the complexities of contemporary social life.
