Accelerating performance in a winner-takes-most world

Top-performing companies use mutually reinforcing investments to create non-linear advantage. Everyone else is just playing catch-up. In a winner-takes-most world, a few companies are vastly outperforming their peers. But what are they doing differently? We surveyed more than 2,000 respondents in the US, UK, Germany and Australia to find out, quantifying the effect of 40 areas of management practice and company investment—including leadership foresight; investment in business and operating model transformation; the use of technology, including cloud, advanced analytics, and application program interfaces (APIs); and other factors. Separately and in combination, these factors enable leading companies to capture a performance premium—the combined effect of profit margin and revenue growth, in industry-adjusted terms—worth more than 13 times that of their industry peers.

Empty spaces and hybrid places: The pandemic’s lasting impact on real estate

- Hybrid work is here to stay. As a result, office attendance has stabilized at 30 percent below prepandemic norms.

- The ripple effects of hybrid work are substantial. Untethered from their offices, residents have left urban cores and shifted their shopping elsewhere. For example, New York City’s urban core lost 5 percent of its population from mid-2020 to mid-2022, and San Francisco’s lost 7 percent. Urban vacancy rates have shot up. Foot traffic near stores in metropolitan areas remains 10 to 20 percent below prepandemic levels.

- Demand for office and retail space in superstar cities will remain below prepandemic levels. In a moderate scenario that we modeled, demand for office space is 13 percent lower in 2030 than it was in 2019 for the median city in our study. In a severe scenario, demand falls by 38 percent in the most heavily affected city.

- Real estate is local, and demand will vary substantially by neighborhood and city. Demand may be lower in neighborhoods and cities characterized by dense office space, expensive housing, and large employers in the knowledge economy.

- Cities and buildings can adapt and thrive by taking hybrid approaches themselves. Priorities might include developing mixed-use neighborhoods, constructing more adaptable buildings, and designing multiuse office and retail space.

Generative AI: Unlocking the future of fashion:
How the foundation models and generative AI can be used across the fashion value chain

1) Merchandising and product:
- Convert sketches, mood boards, and descriptions into high-fidelity designs (for example, 3-D models of furniture and jewelry).
- Enrich product ideation by collaborating with AI agents that generate creative options (for example, new ideas, variations) from data (for example, past product lines, inspirational imagery and style).
- Customize products for individual consumers at scale (Eg., eyeglasses based on facial topography).

2) Supply chain and logistics:
- Support negotiations with suppliers by compiling research.
- Augment robotic automation for warehouse operations and inventory management through real-time analytics (Eg., insights enabled by augmented reality, or AR).
- Tailor product return offers based on individual consumers.

3) Marketing:
- Identify and predict trends to improve targeted marketing from unstructured data (for example, consumer sentiment, in-store consumer behavior, omnichannel data).
- Automate consumer segmentation at scale to tailor marketing initiatives.
- Generate personalized marketing content based on unstructured data from consumer profiles and community insights.
- Collaborate with AI agents to accelerate content development and reduce creative blocks for in-house marketing teams.

4) Digital commerce and consumer experience:
- Structure and generate sales descriptions based on past successful sales posts.
- Personalize online consumer journey and offers (for example, web pages, product descriptions) based on individual consumer profiles.
- Tailor virtual product try-on and demos to individual consumers (for example, clothing try-on, styling recommendations).
- Enhance intelligent AI agents (Eg, conversational chatbots, virtual assistants) and self-service to address advanced consumer inquiries (for example, multilingual support).

5) Store operations:
- Optimize store layout planning by generating and testing layout plans under different parameters (for example, foot traffic, local consumer audience, size).
- Optimize in-store labor to avoid bottlenecks such as gaps in staff allocation and theft detection through real-time monitoring of video data.
- Support AR-assisted devices to better inform workforce in real time on product (for example, condition, assortment, inventory, recommendations).

6) Organization and support functions:
- Coach sales associates to sustain successful “clienteling” relationships via real-time recommendations, feedback reports, and high-value consumer profiles.
- Develop individualized training content for employees based on role and performance.
- Enable self-serve and automate support tasks (Eg. HR, Accounting, Legal).

Does Your Company Have an India Strategy?

The price-to-book ratios of Indian subsidiaries of multinationals far exceed those of their parent companies. That suggests the subsidiaries have better growth prospects, which makes sense given India’s rapidly growing middle class. At this point, any multinational without an India strategy is missing out on a major opportunity for growth and profitability. But tailoring your strategy for India requires customizing your products and services and tapping into the “India stack.”

Marketing Mix Models (MMM): A New Gold Standard for Digital Ad Measurement?

Marketing mix modeling is making a comeback. Fundamental changes to the digital ads ecosystem — such as Apple’s new limits on what advertisers are able to track — mean that deterministic user-level measurement of digital advertising effects is only going to get more challenging. As this data dries up, companies that don’t adapt run the risk of suddenly finding themselves in the dark. In this new landscape, marketing mix models (MMMs) have a specific advantage: They’re able to produce dependable measurements — and insight — purely from natural variation in aggregate data, and don’t require user-level data.

Ready for Launch: How Gen AI Is Already Transforming Marketing

Marketing is a generative AI hot spot because the new technology is so well suited to its blend of creative and data-driven work. Chief marketing officers can draw on five golden rules as they plan how to use generative AI tools to accelerate, augment, and streamline their activities. Here are the 5 rules:
1) Generative AI needs to start and end with the customer;
2) creative applications are only the start;
3) quick wins and complex projects must run in parallel;
4) marketers should keep the highest-priority use cases in-house;
5) the CMO is perfectly placed to be an AI change agent.

Modern marketing:
Six capabilities for multidisciplinary teams

The business-as-usual approach to marketing is no longer sufficient. To succeed in modern marketing, professionals must develop broad skillsets and prioritize collaboration.

Steps on the path to success with the following key principles:
1) Making marketing capabilities a first-rate strategic priority
2) Connecting the dots across teams
3) Curating a program that leverages best practices for adult learning
4) Testing and learning into a nuanced program that fits.
5) Viewing capability building as an ongoing journey, not an event.
6) Celebrating wins to drive cultural change.

There is no universal solution to marketing capability building. Finding the right approach can help organizations see significant improvements in campaign ex*****on time, customer engagement, and cost savings—all of which are critical for boosting marketing performance. Effective programs can serve as an investment in both the success of the marketing team and the general health of the entire company.
