Three tectonic forces are reshaping organizations, according to McKinsey’s latest research—a survey of more than 10,000 leaders across 15 countries and 16 industries: the infusion of technology as AI joins automation and data analytics, growing economic disruptions and geopolitical uncertainty, and workforce changes.

The top barriers globally include regulatory, ethical, and legal risk concerns; concerns about AI itself; and organizational challenges such as change management and silos. These survey findings raise questions about how organizations can build a “test, learn, and adapt” mindset and how leaders redefine roles and responsibilities in a world where machines can think, orchestrate, decide, and create, say McKinsey’s Alexis Krivkovich, Damian Klingler, Dana Maor, and Patrick Guggenberger.
