mckinsey report

The mckinsey report tag on WindowsForum.com collects discussion of McKinsey & Company research and how its findings land with enterprise IT readers. Coverage centers on the firm's Technology Trends Outlook, including the September 2026 sixth edition that ranks 14 technology trends by investment, patent, research, and hiring data. The recurring theme is not the report itself but the gap between its broad trend rankings and the practical questions IT teams face, especially around agentic AI. Threads here examine criticism of the report's scope, notably who controls the AI systems it describes, and turn that critique into control questions organizations can apply to their own vendors.
