How the top UK companies have set themselves up for success [Video]

If you have an ambition but no plan behind it, you’re probably not going to get the results you’re looking for. According to recent McKinsey research (https://www.mckinsey.com/uk/our-insights/aiming-higher-embedding-systematic-ambition-to-drive-uk-corporate-growth) on the UK economy, the highest-performing UK companies have grounded their ambitions in a set of five conditions—looking at investors, incentives, sources of growth, partnerships, and people. And the results speak for themselves. On today’s episode of The McKinsey Podcast (https://www.mckinsey.com/featured-insights/mckinsey-podcast) , senior partners Andrew Goodman (https://www.mckinsey.com/our-people/andrew-goodman) and Tunde Olanrewaju (https://www.mckinsey.com/our-people/tunde-olanrewaju) speak with editorial director Roberta Fusaro about this research.
