Will an auto revolution lead the world to a more sustainable economic future, or will it be too late? 

The leading car manufacturing firms have all essentially pledged to transition from traditional carbon dioxide-emitting vehicles to battery-powered electric vehicles. Tesla has led the way to date, recently producing its three millionth car since its first sale in 2009. General Motors has committed to carbon neutrality in its global products and operations by 2040. Honda has committed to carbon neutrality by 2050. These are ambitious and noble goals, yet they will take a supreme transformation to achieve. 

In this webinar, Ken Boyer will examine the promise, perils, and personalities of the world’s automobile makers as they re-engineer a post-carbon present and future. Driving the narrative is the key to it all: the green transformation of the global auto parts supply chain.

Attendees will leave this webinar with a greater understanding of how the Gears of Change can be used to transform any business to support a pivot toward greater sustainability.

Ken Boyer is the author of two prior books—Extending the Supply Chain and Operations and Supply Chain Management for the 21st Century—and a Fisher-designated professor of operations and business analytics in the Fisher College of Business, Ohio State University. His first car was a Ford, and he currently drives a Tesla Model 3. He lives in Columbus, Ohio.
