Connected CEO
Connected CEO™ is Frost & Sullivan's leadership platform that empowers CEOs to survive and thrive in the Intelligence Revolution by leading enterprise transformation, prioritizing growth opportunities, and accelerating transformational growth.
Why Do Most Transformations Fail? Why Implementation Has Become the New Competitive Edge
Connected_CEO

A leadership perspective from David Frigstad, Chairman & CEO, Frost & Sullivan.

Every leadership team has a strategy. Most have identified the right growth opportunities. Many have invested heavily in technology, AI, innovation, and transformation. Yet nearly 70% of strategic transformations fail to create lasting business value.

Why?

Because the real challenge is no longer strategy, it is implementation.

Next-generation Electric Vehicles
Platform, Battery, and Architecture: How OEMs Are Engineering Their Way to Higher EV Profitability

The electric vehicle industry is maturing faster than most OEMs planned for, and the pressure is coming from every direction. Stiff Competition from Chinese electric vehicle (EV) manufacturers, persistent supply chain volatility, and the pullback of government purchase incentives in key regions are collectively demanding that OEMs rethink how they design, price, and deliver electric vehicles at a profit. Leading manufacturers are already investing in modular platform architectures capable of spanning budget to premium segments, partnering with battery chemistry innovators, and making deliberate moves into local manufacturing to navigate geopolitical exposure.


Constant Velocity Axle Aftermarket
What’s Shaping the Next Constant Velocity Axle Aftermarket Leaders

The replacement constant velocity (CV) axle aftermarket is running on two speeds. Suppliers investing in high-torque, EV-compatible assemblies and digital distribution are pulling ahead of the competition. Meanwhile, volume-driven players still relying on legacy product portfolios and traditional distributor relationships are facing pressure from multiple fronts.


Two-wheeler Rental in India
India’s Two-wheeler Rental Industry Is Moving Fast: What Are the Biggest Growth Opportunities?

The two-wheeler (2W) industry is not slowing down, but shifting gears. Global internal combustion engine (ICE) motorcycle sales are climbing at 6.4% year-on-year, with South Asia accounting for more than a third of the world’s demand at 35.9%. Honda holds the top spot globally, while Hero MotoCorp, Yamaha, Bajaj, and TVS follow closely, each reinforcing their grip across some of the world’s most volume-driven emerging regions.
