CEO Readiness, featuring Mark Thompson

Well, I think it used to be that we.

would look for stability in our companies and organizations.

And I'm sure as human beings, we'd love to have that, but it's no longer optional.

That perhaps one of the first principles in the seismic shift is that they're happening all the time.

I grew up in California.

There are actually hundreds of earthquakes a week.

You don't even notice them.

And then there's the big one that comes once a generation or maybe after several generations.

And the truth of the matter is to kind of face the reality that change is the currency of corporations and organizations and customers.

And so the first one would be to once again, be focused on what you love so much that when it moves, you want to chase that opportunity rather than run from it.

It really tests your conviction to people and projects when things keep changing, right? You know, how much things are stable these days.

I haven't met anybody who has the luxury anymore.

So I'd say that would be, that's certainly one of the first principles.

And when you're talking about seismics, that's a great analogy.

Of course, I'm in New Orleans and we have other things we have to deal with, not earthquakes.

That is a great analogy that there are hundreds of seismic shifts of earthquakes all the time, but then there's the big one.

And right now, the big one that we're all talking about is AI and how it's transforming everything.

And when I look at the list of your clients, I think one of the coolest seismic shifts that we're all about to biggest experience in the world is driverless vehicles.

And Zoox is one of your biggest clients.

And Aishe, can you tell us about Zoox and this new, I think they just launched in Las Vegas.

We don't have them here yet in New Orleans.

So tell everybody about Zoox.

So

On Wednesday, we all gathered in Las Vegas for the launch of the first kind of fully autonomous driving.

A thousand rides given that day, completely independently.
