Capitalizing on Complexity
 I recently ran across an interesting study released by IBM in 2011 in which IBM conducted face-to-face interviews with 1541 CEOs, managers, and leaders from a variety of global industries to find out how they are responding to a competitive and economic environment unlike anything most of us have experienced. 'Coping with change' has been listed as the most pressing challenge to business in three prior years in which this same survey has been conducted. However, this year, a new challenge rose to the top as a primary concern: complexity.
There is little doubt the world is increasingly volatile, uncertain, and complex. Interconnected economies, societies, and governments have presented new challenges and new opportunities. Our inter-dependency is at an all time high. For most manufacturers, avoiding complexity is not an option. The choice comes in how we respond to it. Four key points arose from the interviews:
- The vast majority of CEOs anticipate even greater complexity in the future.
- CEOs believe fostering creativity and innovation is the most important leadership quality.
- Successful organizations co-create products and services with customers, and integrate customers into core processes.
- Better performers manage complexity on behalf of their company, customers, and partners by simplifying operations and increasing dexterity to change the way they work.
Complexity can become a stifling force that slows our responsiveness, overwhelms employees - and customers, and often threatens profits. Learning how to respond to and recognize opportunity that exists within the complexity requires a commitment to creativity in leadership, reinventing customer / supplier relationships, and building operational dexterity. Leaving behind legacy business models and leveraging new communication styles, technologies, and tools can become immensely valuable in navigating the hurdles on the way to innovation. "Complexity should not be viewed as a burden to be avoided; we see it as a catalyst and and accelerator to create innovation and new ways of delivering value" - Juan Ramon Alaix, President, Pfizer Animal Health Partner with Confidence™ |

Double-Digit Automotive Production Gains Forecast for North America in 2012.
According to WardsAuto,
North American light-vehicle production should reach 14.5 million units in 2012, up 10.5% from prior-year's 13.1 million. Additionally, WardsAuto is calling for total vehicle production, including medium- and heavy-duty trucks, to reach 14.9 million units in 2012, for a 10.3% gain on 2011's 13.5 million. The forecast calls for the highest production volume since 15.0 million assemblies in 2007.
Growth is expected to result from stronger demand in Canada and Mexico; the sourcing of more locally built vehicles in place of import models; increased exports; and inventory buildup. Asian auto makers who suffered supply-chain disruptions due to the natural disasters last year will look to increase their days' supply.
Adding to the case for double-digit gains in 2012 will be increased sales competition as auto makers attempt to maintain or capture additional market share. Most of these key products, and import replacements, will be in the small- and midsize-car segments. The biggest year-over-year growth by volume is expected to come from Honda, Toyota, General Motors and Chrysler.
Longer term, WardsAuto forecasts increased demand and additional capacity for vehicles replacing overseas-sourced models will support an average 5% year-over-year growth in Light Vehicle production from 2013 through 2015.
