A Bright Future

In this issue, we see how innovation fuels the economy, as automakers use new strategies to extract more range from EVs driving the electric future forward. We also look at non-fungible tokens (NFTs) and how value is embedded in the blockchain for digital art, music and entertainment. CDO and Director of People Strategy at Ford Motor Company Lori Costew talks about the company’s focus on diversity, equity and inclusion strategies. And Chief Digital Officer and Vice President at Caterpillar Inc., Ogi Redzic, shares how autonomous technology is improving safety and productivity for its customers. Finally, new CTA research shows digital payment systems, cashier-less stores and AR may soon come to your neighborhood retailer. Download the full issue PDF.
