I believe growth thrives at the crossroad of technology and humanity. This is where technology creates solutions that help people reach their greatest potential. When it comes to innovation in transportation, we again see this intersection shaking up an industry on the verge of a technological leap: the next generation, connected software-defined car for an […]

Early in my career, I remember being at a stoplight, looking over and admiring a sleek, red McLaren next to me. For a long time, I wanted that car (then I moved to Chicago and an SUV seemed much more practical!). Today, the automobile industry is in a sea change that may make stories like […]

Let’s start by explaining, at a very high level, the concept of digital transformation. It’s a term used to describe the strategic evolution of methods, business behaviors and company culture to deliver value to customers.

His email made me realize we had more in common than I ever thought possible, much more than just the weather. A few weeks previous, he had given […]

The world is waiting and wondering. What’s next? How do we rewrite our business playbooks? How do we stay ahead of customer expectations in a world unfolding, rearranging, evolving?
