Welcome back Monday 👋 I greet you with a smile and a handshake as we start the last week of Q1 😁🤝 This week presents the opportunity to dot the I’s and cross the T’s to finish off a solid quarter for the Suzuki GB network and our colleagues 👍 When all is said and done the headlines will tell a story by brand as they adapt to the return of the push market 🚗🚗 What we do know is that the total market will be in positive territory. Channel mix will see retail in slight decline and fleet showing healthy growth 📈 EV will be a major focal point due to ZEV mandate requirements in 2024. So the performance by each brand will be interesting ⚡️⚡️ However, these are only the headlines and won’t give an understanding of the effort, hard work and tenacity that has gone in from the people that make this industry what it is 👏 Once we have closed the door on Q1, we will have a short time to reflect before we start again in Q2 🤔 Why is this important?? To celebrate the result and each other 👍🎉 How did we actual do?? What did we do well, and will carry on doing?? How can we improve?? Where are the development areas to focus on?? To gather our thoughts and get ready to go again 💥💥 Remember to pause and take the time to reflect.

How #IKEA Evolved Its #Strategy While Keeping Its #Culture Constant!! If you’re leading your team through big changes, this episode is for you.

Day 1 Awaken to Evolve. Our first day in Japan and what an experience. The great hospitality continues by everyone you meet and we had the pleasure of visiting TMC head office in Nagoya. To my astonishment, Toyota you know the largest global motor manufacturer doesn’t have a sign on the building from the outside, it blends into the crowded landscape and you’d never know. The Japanese, they’re humble, they’re subtle. As you enter there is a pillar with words to the effect of “Producing Happiness for All!” I’m starting to get it… this culture is embedded deep at the roots. (Maybe Mr Miyagi had a point-if you ever watched Karate Kid Part 3). Not only within Toyota but with everyone all around it. The understanding of the culture set deep from within Kiichiro Toyoda starts to become apparent.. i start to question my Zen. Am i a good person? Is customer centricity at the forefront of everything I do? What does my community think of my business? Yes it’s deep, but that’s the point. Culture starts from the top, in order to achieve Kaikaku i need to adapt my culture through Kaizen. Open the door, it’s a big world outside! (Sakichi Toyoda) The evening was finished with a lovely meal at a restaurant called the Foundry. Which in the past was exactly that forging parts for looms. Then diversified into a business based on cookware and even does cooking classes. There’s one thing for sure Change is the only constant. #culturearchitech #changeagent #omotenashi #toyota #discoveryprogramme

Robert, as you may know, this is just the latest Japanese automotive company to be caught and admit to years of falsifying quality documentation, inspection and test data, and certifications. Japanese companies, Japanese automakers in particular, were once hailed as iconic world class quality leaders, but in recent years many Japanese companies have been brought into court to face humiliating charges of deceit and criminal fraud representing a systemic decline in quality led by top executives and facilitated by operations managers who have cultivated corporate cultures rife with liars and frauds. As an expert witness in major court cases I have investigated the origins of some of these companies and have seen how once respected companies have sold out to cheats and liars who will go to great lengths to do almost anything to hide the truth. But, as you said Robert… “The truth always comes out and the original sin is always simpler and cheaper than the lie.” To quote Luke 12:2 ESV “Nothing is covered up that will not be revealed, or hidden that will not be known.” The truth of the matter is that the leaders of these companies knew what they were doing when they conspired to hide the truth from their customers and the public.

Orchestra, Formula 1, I'm sure you've used or heard these analogs for high performance teams, right? Who hasn't? “A team is like an orchestra….”, “a team is like a well-oiled machine…”. The orchestra is a classic, where each musician plays a unique role in creating a harmonious whole, every member contributes their expertise to achieve a common goal and success depends on precise coordination, communication, and mutual respect. The conductor serves as the leader, guiding the team with a clear vision and ensuring everyone stays in rhythm. Don’t get me wrong, those elements are crucial, and leaders appreciate the beauty of a perfectly executed plan and the ability to fine-tuning performance over time. But the business environment is not always a perfectly built, acoustically optimal, and temperature steady Concert Hall where you are on your own to perform. I must confess that I lately became a Formula1 fan, and yes, Netflix has something to do with that! So, reflecting, I would rather use this other classic. The Formula 1 Racing Team embodies teamwork in a dynamic and fast-paced competitive environment, it must quickly adapt to changing conditions and make split-second decisions. Each member, from the driver to the pit crew, must perform flawlessly under immense pressure, relying on trust and collaboration to achieve victory. The team is constantly evaluating the performance based on data and “feedback from the front line” and making continues improvements in frequent cycles. Teamwork in this context emphasizes agility, innovation, and the ability to respond rapidly to competitive or environmental challenges with an insight-based approach, being a best suited analog for startups or competitive industries.
