Happy holidays to you from us here at McKinsey. Today we've got one of our most popular interviews from 2025. We'll be back January 8th with new episodes. This is the McKinsey Podcast, where we help you make sense out of our world's toughest business challenges. Welcome to the show.
I'm Lucia Rahili and I'm Roberta Fassaro. Hey everyone, quick, go to McKinsey.com and search McKinsey Quarterly. There's a special edition of the Cue out right now. It's a collection of articles from the 1960s to their early aughts, all about technology. A lot of what we wrote back then about adapting to new technologies is still true.
Although these days, deciding which tools to invest in and where to find the right talent is probably a lot more complicated. Lucia, we need a return to simpler times. One article from 1968 did predict that managers' main interface with computers would be the old-fashioned telephone. Well, we now have the new fashioned telephone. We still have the phone part.
We already have this episode, so unlocking it is cheap and permanent: the full transcript (19 minutes, 3,466 words), segment and word-level timestamps, and .txt, .srt, .vtt and word-level JSON downloads, as many times as you like, forever.
No account needed, we create one from your checkout email. With credits it is 1 credit; packs start at 5 episodes for $3.49, and monthly plans are cheaper still.
