The auto industry must reconcile 

these two different rates of change. It 

must act as if it were simultaneously 

in two worlds, moving at two different 

speeds. To do so is what successful 

innovation now means. 

It is inspiring. Innovation in the current 

auto space will transform the very 

nature of transportation and change 

people’s lives along the way. But this 

kind of innovation is also really hard. 

Most organizations do not embrace 

imaginative solutions to problems. In 

fact, they stifle them. Never forget: 

the man who brought us relativity, 

quantum physics, and E=mc

 was 


ignored and even laughed at before 

the world recognized him as an 

innovative genius. In the current 

environment, the auto industry doesn’t 

have time to ignore its true innovators. 

It must solve the clockspeed 

dilemma today. If the industry does, it 

will be powerfully equipped to address 

the findings we reached from this 

year’s research.

Seven key findings to keep your eyes on.

To create the multiple clockspeeds it now faces, the auto industry must institutionalize faster-paced 

innovation capacity that dovetails with its current clockspeed. We have ideas on how to do that. It’s an 

exciting, powerful problem for the industry. Let’s get to the details.



Personal miles will soar. 

Younger and older age groups 

are making small changes in their 

mobility decisions that will drive big 

changes in personal miles traveled. 

Our models project as much as an 

additional trillion or more by 2050. 

That increase will have a profound but 

unknown impact on vehicle sales, car 

ownership models, energy demand, 

and infrastructure.

Welcome to the world of 

tailored premiums.

Our focus groups tell us premium 

experience might diversify according 

to demographics and user situation. 

If so, what millennials or their 

children think of as premium won’t 

be the same as baby boomers 

today. A rolling office? A moving 

entertainment center? Zero to 60 in 

3 seconds or less? Automakers must 

pay attention to increasingly tailored 

consumer demand.



The tech giants and disruptive 

start‑ups are here to stay. 

The pyramid OEMs once ruled 

now has company at the top. Car 

companies are standing shoulder to 

shoulder with new players who can 

sense consumer changes and drive 

new technologies into the market at a 

very fast pace. 



Build flexible architecture for an 

ever‑changing future.

To interface with all the evolving 

technologies, your vehicles must 

have a flexible architecture. Imagine 

what would happen if your company 

locked itself into Myspace rather than 

Facebook: no one would buy your car.

Choose your core 

competencies wisely.

Accept that you will never keep up 

with all the technological changes or 

compete in all areas. The ecosystem 

is too vast and changing, and you 

don’t have enough capital to invest in 

everything.

Sense the ecosystem from its 

center to its farthest reaches.

It’s critical that you keep up with 

all the innovative forces inside and 

outside the industry, which are rapidly 

and constantly transforming consumer 

expectations.



Embrace the value of failure. 

Nobody gets it right the first time, so 

fail fast in small ways and learn a lot 

from your failures.

Key changes: Big opportunities

More than ever we believe the ecosystem is evolving… 

It is just happening faster than we expected

Last year, we hypothesized that the structure of the ecosystem in the automotive industry was going 

to change. High-tech entrants and tech start-ups would match the OEMs at providing technology 

and revolutionizing the industry. This past year proved that is happening at a faster rate than we 

anticipated. New technologies are coming from every direction, so auto companies have to broaden 

their radar to keep pace. In the future, horsepower may matter less than processing power. Winning 

companies will be nimble, future-oriented, and prepared to invest in new technologies, new talent, 

and new strategic alliances.
