“So it's this idea of digital enterprise. How do we connect with our dealers? How do we figure out the future of manufacturing and automation? What does sort of design collaboration look like? All of those four pillars kind of work in concert with one another, and they're not always mutually exclusive, but very much connected and sort of support our overall investment approach."
