What is GM's strategy regarding installing carcinogenic tires on EVs that will wear-out twice as fast on the heavier, faster accelerating EVs and, therefore, emit toxins 1750 times more dangerous than tailpipe emissions twice as fast, sending countless numbers of Americans to their deaths via Cancer, Heart and Lung Disease? Will it install non-carcinogenic tires that accomplish 32 things Pneumatic tires cannot and save all of their lives, such as the Climate-Smart Tire, instead? It takes Courage to lead; None to follow.

What do we actually do at 1KOMMA5°?

Getting locked-in to a future view: From fuel cells to electric cars - Lessons in strategic flexibility Just finished watching an excellent episode of The Circuit with Emily Chang featuring GM CEO Mary Barra and it got me thinking: Where is my fuel cell car? Let's rewind to circa 2009, when I was at a European Union joint research event in Brussels and had the thrill of being chauffeured in a fuel cell car. It was an exhilarating glimpse into an environmentally sustainable future. Fast forward to today, where Mary Barra states that "the future is electric." But where is my fuel cell car? The story behind the fuel cell car is likely a tale of multiple innovation case studies, but when we take a #foresight perspective, Japan and Toyota come into focus. Since the early 1990s, Toyota has been investing in fuel cell technology, driven by a vision of a hydrogen-based sustainable future that shaped Toyota's strategic outlook for three decades. They conducted pre-commercial launches, invested in infrastructure, tackled technological challenges, and openly shared intellectual property rights (IPR). Yet, nothing seemed to propel the fuel cell future forward. Toyota was eventually compelled to acknowledge that perhaps the future lies in "electric." Some might argue that Toyota's strategy was anchored in a #future vision that fell short of expectations. Not to say that GM was quicker, but Barra's assertion that they're following "...where the world is going" and recognizing that change "will not be linear" reflects a forward-thinking perspective. Essentially, she advocates for environmental scanning and #strategy flexibility. This echoes a recent study by Zhang et al. (2023), emphasizing the importance of continuous #foresight that scans the environment and an integrated strategic decision-making process fostering strategic flexibility. Research seems to support Barra's approach, which could help your organization break free from the inertia of a fixed #technology #vision and strategic positioning.
