• Innovation on the Edge
  
  I’ve played on the edge throughout most of my professional career, whether it was doing deals in the Sultanate of Oman back in the 1970s, building a start-up around a new technology called the microprocessor in 1980, building a new Internet-focused practice for McKinsey in 1993 or spending more time in places like Bangalore, Shenzhen and Shanghai in the early part of this decade (my first visit to Shenzhen was actually in 1982 when I led a major manufacturing offshoring initiative there). Instinctively, I have been drawn to various edges because of the opportunity and challenge

• Social Media Goes Mainstream
  
  At least for video, social media is not an edge case and is they dominant model overall. Like John Hagel and John Seely Brown observed in the McKinsey Quarterly a year ago or so, push-based systems , of which one-way marketing and advertising and command-and-control management are typical examples are nowhere near as efficient as pull systems . Encouraging conversations on the vast edges of our networks, rather than in the middle, is what this point is all about. The rise of While some will dispute what mainstream is defined as exactly -- with my own personal favorite being when my grandparents and their grandchildren both are doing whatever is under discussion -- the rise of consumer-powered media platforms has all the hallmarks of being something that's not only here to stay, but something that's increasingly pushing everything else off the stage.

• Challenging Mindsets: From Reverse Innovation to Innovation Blowback
  
  These perspectives help to change our view of where innovation will occur – shifting our focus from the core developed economies to the geographic edges represented by developing economies like China and India. Five years ago, John Seely Brown and I wrote an article for the McKinsey Quarterly entitled "Innovation Blowback: Disruptive Management Practices from Asia." Views on innovation in developing economies are evolving rapidly, yet they still do not capture the full significance of what is going on. Executives in the West are still prisoners of a mindset that

• Web 2.0 Predictions for 2008
  
  It's the first work day of the new year and I thought I'd take some time to offer up my predictions for what will happen on the leading edge of the Internet this year. The well regarded McKinsey & Company predicted last year that advertising will actually have fairly significant growth challenges for the next five years from high demand and lack of maturity in the management of online advertising through traditional outlets. 2007 saw Web 2.0 -- defined here as the pervasive two-way Web used for social media , mashups , user-powered Web applications , and social networking -- go far more mainstream than it had in 2006.

• New Technology Supporting Informal Learning
  
  Peters, 2006) In part, our best response to the variability and complexity of the subject matter along with the changing nature of the learner is to design systems that are decentralized, to push learning decisions down the hierarchy or out to the edges of the network. (Wiley McKinsey & Company, Inc. Abstract We often talk about games, simulations and other events in learning, but these technologies support only episodic learning. Equally important are those technologies that provide a context for these learning episodes, an environment where students and interact and converse

• Can We Break the Tyranny of Quarterly Results?
  
  is Outsourcing Away Its Competitive Edge David B. But this concern is not supported by a 2006 McKinsey study of 1,200 companies, which compared companies projecting quarterly earnings to those that did not. If we want corporate America to avoid short-termism, we need to help free portfolio managers and company executives from the tyranny of quarterly results. Since I work in the investment management industry as the Chairman of MFS Investment Management, I am particularly aware of the pressures to take a short-term perspective in the financial markets--and the often unintended

• How Innovations from Developing Nations Trickle-Up to the West
  
  quot;If it's radically innovative and reduces costs, it's going to get looked at and will accelerate," says Michael Chui, the consultant doing heavy lifting on a McKinsey Technology Initiative report on this subject that includes more than 100 PowerPoint slides crammed with examples. Last July, when the company unveiled cutting-edge data tracking for retailers called ShoppingTrip360, it first tested the technology with an Indian one. Shibulal A funny thing has happened on the way to globalization: Innovation now trickles up from emerging to advanced economies. And it may
