A confident look back and a clear-eyed view ahead: in his Handelsblatt interview, out today, Fabian Billing talks about what has shaped McKinsey's work in Germany and Austria over the past years, the competitiveness of the German economy, and how we work with our clients. Two points that stayed with me. On performance partnerships: we increasingly tie our fees to the results we achieve with our clients, around 40% of our engagements now work this way. And on AI: it creates room for the more demanding work, while judgment and the expertise of our people remain essential. Importantly, AI isn't just a technology issue. It is becoming the new operating system for companies, a fundamental change. The interview comes at a fitting moment to reflect: Fabian has been re-elected to our newly constituted Shareholders Council and, in that context, will hand over his role as Managing Partner for Germany and Austria.
