Hi Friend,

Back in March of 2016, I interviewed Paul Bellack, VP of Global IT and CIO of Magna International, about his plans to develop and execute a centralized IT strategy for the aggressively decentralized global auto parts manufacturer. According to Bellack during that first discussion, “We are a $35 billion company, but we operate more like 300 $100 million companies with IT resources in every one.” In that first blog, Bellack described the initial stages of the ambitious IT transformation, which centered on security, costs, and data.

It’s been 18 months since that interview. In today’s lead item, read about the progress Bellack has made and what he’s learned about driving major counter-cultural transformation.
