"GM has a dysfunctional
corporate culture,
embedded in a deeply
'siloed' way of working"
"We have to change GM.
Today, everyone colors inside
the lines of their own precise
job description without
thinking independently or
holistically."

"Our industry will see more change
in the next 10 years
than it has in the past 50 years.
All of a sudden, the competitive
landscape has shifted entirely."
