A very well put state of the business (and call to action) for UX. 
I’m occasionally engaged post-McKinsey, when organizations realize they need to bring everything down a click — experience design of the offering, experience design of the employee experience, processes, culture — it all needs design. Part of the challenge is, as you say, having the opportunity to accompany leaders on this journey from awareness to execution.

Wishing you all the best in your new venture!
