McKinsey & Company is one of the world’s leading management consulting firms, advising organizations across industries on strategy, operations, and organizational performance. This is their second annual State of Organizations report, updating findings first published in 2023.

The report was led by a 17-strong team of McKinsey senior and associate partners.

LinkedIn’s feed reaches more than 1.3 billion members. By early 2025, the platform was driven by five separate data retrieval pipelines.

In November 2025, Peter Steinberger, a superstar Austrian software developer, built the first version of OpenClaw in about an hour. He called it Clawdbot. Within two months, he had renamed it twice, and there were 1.5 million active agents running on the platform. Keeping OpenClaw running was costing Steinberger up to $10,000 a month. Sam Altman called him a genius. By February 15, 2026, Steinberger had joined OpenAI to drive the next generation of personal agents.
