Say goodbye to ghastly grilles, and hello virtual vents
BMW is going through a major change. You might have heard. We already know that the currentis going to be the last M car powered purely by internal combustion, and we also know Munich’s performance division is working on a fully electric model that’s due well before the end of the decade. But what comes after all the Ms, Xs and Series cars make the switch to battery power? Well, BMW reckons it’ll be something a bit like its new Vision Neue Klasse.
Peeling back the ‘almost monolithic’ skin exposes all-new electric architecture and some mighty clever battery technology. BMW says it has developed a new sort of ‘round battery’ that is 20 per cent more efficient than the ‘prismatic cells’ found on current electric cars. This is said to improve charging speeds and range by 30 per cent.

Building Your Company’s VisionCompanies that enjoy enduring success have a core purpose and core values that remain fixed while their strategies and practices endlessly adapt to a changing world. The rare ability to balance continuity and change–requiring a consciously practiced discipline–is closely linked to the ability to develop a vision. Vision provides guidance about what to preserve and what to change. A new prescriptive framework adds clarity and rigor to the vague and fuzzy vision concepts at large today. The framework has two principal parts: core ideology and envisioned future. Core ideology combines an organization’s core values and core purpose. It’s the glue that holds a company together as it grows and changes. Core values are an organization’s essential and enduring tenets–the values it would hold even if they became a competitive disadvantage; core purpose is the organization’s fundamental reason for being. The second component of the vision framework is the envisioned future. First, a company must identify bold stretch goals; then it should articulate vivid descriptions of what it will mean to achieve them. Henry Ford set the goal of democratizing the automobile, then told the world, “When I’m through…everyone will have one. The horse will have disappeared from our highways”–an imaginative stretch for the time. Unfortunately, the usual vision statement is fuzzy and inspires only boredom. But managers who master a discovery process to identify core ideology can link their vision statements to the fundamental dynamic that motivates truly visionary companies–that is, the dynamic of preserving the core and stimulating progress.
