They're losing because they're struggling to move fast enough.
In this clip, Tenneco CEO Jim Voss explains why legacy organizations must stop thinking like aircraft carriers and start moving like speedboats. He breaks down the three ingredients of organizational velocity and why today's leaders must make decisions with speed, confidence, and incomplete information.
If the future of automotive belongs to the fastest learners, can legacy companies keep up?
What we get into:
➡️ Why legacy auto isn't losing on talent. It's losing on speed
➡️ The three ingredients of organizational velocity: strategy, structure, and competency. Get one wrong and the whole thing stalls
➡️ Why today's leaders have to be fearless and decide without 100% of the information. The basketball team that won 20 years ago won't win in today's NBA
