SEAT S.A.’s Post

How can the automotive industry effectively transition to reach required sustainability targets? I had the opportunity to explore this important issue in a hybrid keynote/workshop I delivered in Adelaide this week with 100 participants from the industry. I reminded them that the best creative ideas come from a diverse audience who can share insights from different perspectives. With participants from the government, corporate, manufacturing, and leasing sectors, great ideas were in abundance. The session was focused on understanding how to harness creative intelligence, then using the 7 Creative Quotient (CQ) attributes to solve ‘wicked’ challenges like these. It’s worth noting that it took 40 years to transition from horse and buggy to petrol cars. While the first most obvious solution to sustainability might be a simple jump to EVs (Electric Vehicles), on deeper examination, it’s possible to identify numerous ambiguities and obstacles. The big takeaway was that in order to be “thinking forwards” (the theme of the program), it is important to identify how to define the industry in a broader way that removes constraints and invites blue-sky thinking. From ‘car company’ to ‘tech & mobility’, from ‘leasing cars’ to offering ‘end-to-end transport solutions’, this approach will ensure real thinking outside the traditional box can be achieved.
