Marketing leaders are falling into shiny object syndrome instead of building systematic growth strategies. Kathryn Rathje, Partner at McKinsey's Growth, Marketing & Sales Practice, explains how to escape the pilot trap that's plaguing marketing organizations. She outlines a framework for rewiring marketing functions around data and AI fundamentals, distinguishes between one-way and two-way strategic decisions, and shares McKinsey's approach to creating scalable personalization workflows that drive measurable business value.
