I hope that Henderson genuinely follows through with the things he is saying. I recently read an article where the former VP of marketing said that GM's processes stifled the creativity... but that is nothing new in big businesses, so it seems like almost an excuse. here is the link: http://adage.com/article?article_id=137277 I agree with the need for leadership change – it seems to be the foundation for reinvention… if nothing else, it makes it APPEAR as though there is a big shake up.

What's there in the form of leadership hasn't worked, or allowed the creativity to flow enough to make these steps as key as they should be. They need a re-structuring of their driving force at the top in order to push something like this forward, otherwise you've got the same old heads sitting around board rooms & trying to re-surface the image within their same flawed old-school contexts.
