Turn great strategy into great performance💫 Most companies’ strategies deliver only 63% of their promised financial value. Why? Leaders press for better execution when they really need a sounder strategy. Or they craft a new strategy when execution is the true weak spot. The result: wasted energy, lost time, and continued underperformance. How to avoid these errors? View strategic planning and execution as inextricably linked — then raise the bar for both simultaneously. Start by applying seven deceptively straightforward rules, including: keeping your strategy simple and concrete, making resourceallocation decisions early in the planning process, and continuously monitoring performance as you roll out your strategic plan. By following these rules, you reduce the likelihood of performance shortfalls. And even if your strategy still stumbles, you quickly determine whether the fault lies with the strategy itself, your plan for pursuing it, or the execution process. The payoff? You make the right midcourse corrections — promptly. And as high-performing companies like Cisco Systems, Dow Chemical, and 3M have discovered, you boost your company’s financial performance 60% to 100%.

Top Concerns in AI Safety Experts have outlined their main concerns about AI safety, focusing on three major areas: safety risks, societal risks, and existential risks. When asked, "What worries you most about AI safety?" they pointed to various challenges. Safety risks include the creation of AI systems that are unsafe, inaccurate, unreliable, or fail in unexpected situations. Both U.K. and Chinese experts raised concerns about AI systems not aligned with human goals or values, as well as the dangers of human-AI interactions, such as robots causing harm or accidents with self-driving cars. Societal risks involve issues like AI misuse, such as the creation of deepfakes for fraudulent purposes. U.K. experts emphasized ethical concerns, particularly regarding AI's impact on children and the risk of job displacement leading to high unemployment. They highlighted the need to address these issues to prevent social disruption. Existential risks were a primary focus for some Chinese experts, who stressed the potential threats posed by advanced AI systems, including weaponization. They noted that AI’s rapid development could lead to significant and possibly irreversible global consequences. It's clear that addressing AI safety is essential to mitigate potential harm on a societal and global scale.

What strategies from other industries could be valuable for the automotive sector to adopt? Three significant strategies stand out: regionalization, multi-sourcing, and collaboration. - Regionalization: Establishing manufacturing facilities closer to key markets can help automotive companies manage risks related to tariffs, geopolitical tensions, and supply chain disruptions. This approach not only enhances business continuity but also brings added advantages like faster response to regional customer needs and a smaller carbon footprint. - Multi-sourcing: Engaging multiple suppliers for essential components boosts agility and resilience. This practice reduces the risk of production stoppages, minimizes recalls, enables competitive pricing, and shortens time-to-market. Although it may require initial investment and effort, the long-term benefits significantly outweigh the challenges. - Collaboration: Forming partnerships with suppliers and ecosystem players early in the product development process allows automakers to synchronize roadmaps, define key features, and ensure supply stability. This collaborative approach fosters innovation and allows for quicker adaptation to changing market demands. #GTEC #automotive #SustainableManufacturing
