The automotive industry is navigating massive shifts at incredible speed. Successfully steering through this transformation requires embracing reinvention as an ongoing process that becomes part of the organizational culture and DNA.

This episode covers:
- The distinction between innovation and reinvention and why the automotive industry needs more of the latter
