At the Rotary Club of Ann Arbor North Luncheon on January 10, 2019, our Keynote Speaker was David Cole. David, is widely considered a national expert on the automotive industry.
David said, "the old business model is broken". The new business model must be more lean and agile.
He described that the leaders must view everything through, "it is all about the team, the team, the team".
The leaders must have system thinking, never look at a detail outside of the context of the whole, and in the future market disruption and surprises are very likely and leaders must be fast to adjust.
David's final words in the presentation was "fasten your seat belts: the fun is just beginning, We live in very exciting times."
