  Last week I visitedAutomobilwoche’s new office in Munich. What a difference location makes — now in the center of an up-and-coming business district, in a bright, modern space that matches the ambition of the team inside it. Proud of the work they’re doing and excited for what’s ahead.

  Last month, I completed a nine-year journey throughHarvard Business School’s YPO program, focused on sharpening my thinking, strengthening my leadership approach and expanding my perspective. Leading a legacy family company brings both responsibility and opportunity, and a clear understanding that standing still isn’t an option.I’m grateful to my classmates, mentors and the HBS community for the thoughtful dialogue, challenge and perspective throughout the program. Lifelong learning matters, and leadership is stronger when informed by others.Congratulations to my fellow graduates.

  Detroit’s next chapter is being shaped by leaders willing to invest with intention. I appreciated the opportunity as part of the Detroit Policy Conference to sit down with Duncan Aldred, Senior Vice President and President ofGeneral Motors North America, to talk about GM’s commitment to Detroit — from its people and communities to its decision to anchor its headquarters at Hudson’s. Staying downtown sends a clear message: belief in the city’s future and a willingness to help build it.

  General Motors is moving its global headquarters this week into a newly finished building in the heart of downtown Detroit.The automaker’s offices in the new Hudson's Detroit development, with all of its 21st century conveniences, pay deep homage to the midcentury modern design of its Global Technical Center campus in suburban Warren, which opened 70 years ago this May.GM’s new headquarters, on the site of the former downtown J.L. Hudson’s department store, incorporates the “timeless” elements of Eero Saarinen’s technical campus design through the use of clean lines, curves, stone and warm wood tones, said Rebecca Waldmeir, GM’s architecture and experience design manager.The construction of Hudson’s Detroit allowed GM to create a modern floor plan and infuse technology into its working spaces. Its headquarters will have just four permanent offices, including for CEO Mary Barra and President Mark Reuss, offering multiple open, flexible spaces for employees to work.The layout reflects GM’s changing needs for office space, said Michael McBride, vice president of non-manufacturing facility operations. The automaker will use about 200,000 square feet on floors 8 through 11, about two-thirds of the available office space in the 12-story building.Read more here:https://lnkd.in/gzX86m8H

  Automotive manufacturing is on the brink of a radical workforce transformation as the industry’s race toward fully automated assembly lines signals a fundamental redefinition of factory work.At least one automaker will achieve 100 percent assembly automation by 2030, according to analysts at Gartner and Warburg Research. The shift represents more than operational efficiency; it marks an inflection point where artificial intelligence, humanoid robotics and digital manufacturing converge to eliminate nearly all human roles from the assembly process.The implications extend far beyond the factory floor, reshaping everything from vehicle design principles to workforce training pipelines to the economics of auto production.A U.S. or Chinese automaker will likely be the first to create a 100 percent assembly automation line “toward the end of this decade,” as several players in those markets “are already setting up disruptive manufacturing processes and reveal more of a focus on humanoid robots,” Gartner Vice President of Research Pedro Pacheco told Automotive News Europe.Read more here:https://lnkd.in/gAX2FtRD#automotive#news#autoindustry#robot
