Jim Voss is betting on velocity, and he thinks it's the one thing that decides who wins from here. Here's the conversation the auto industry actually needs. The command-and-control model is dead.
In this segment, Jim Voss, CEO of Tenneco, sits down with Jan Griffiths to explain why speed isn't a CEO pounding the table yelling, "Go faster!" It's a culture engineered, element by element, to win no matter where this industry goes next.
What we get into:
➡️ Why organizational velocity, not AI, will be the number one differentiator between companies going forward
➡️ What it actually takes to move fast: strategy, middle management, and frontline competency, all getting it right
➡️ The test that exposes a fake culture in one question: "What are your core values?"
