Shoot us a Text.Today, we pause and reflect on the events of 9/11/2001. No crisis can win.It's Wednesday and DG is back for round two. We're talking about how Ally Financial is dealing with consumer credit challenges, how GM is drawing a line in the sand for its salaried employees and busting the EV slowdown myth.Show Notes with links:Ally Financial is grappling with growing credit challenges as high inflation impacts borrowers, resulting in increased delinquencies. Shares plummeted 17.62% on Sept. 10, signaling the pressure the lender facesDelinquencies in Ally's retail auto sector increased by 20 basis points in July and August compared to Ally's expectations, and net charge-offs (unrecoverable debts) increased by 10 basis points during the same period.Borrowers are also cutting back on loans amidst high interest rates.Ally has sold its lending business to Synchrony Financial to address its credit issue.CFO Russell Hutchinson specifically mentioned that the number of borrowers in the 61+ day delinquency category has become a point of concern, with more underperformance expected in this bucketGeneral Motors is intensifying its push toward an all-electric future, making it clear that salaried employees must align with its EV vision or move on. A series of organizational changes this year underscores GM's dedication to selling only electric vehicles by 2035.GM is downsizing its global headquarters to streamline operations and create cost efficiencies.As we covered early this year, the automaker revised how it evaluates employee performance, with a stronger focus on productivity and innovation.New bonus metrics now align more closely with the company's EV goals, emphasizing those who contribute to the transition.Remote work privileges have been reduced for some employees to promote better in-office collaboration and push productivity.The goal is to become more agile and tech-focused, modeled after top-performing companies in the technology sector.Despite misleading headlines claiming otherwise, EV sales continue to rise globally, though growth percentages have naturally slowed as the market expands. Media reports about an EV sales “slump” overlook key data points.Misinformation has led some to believe EV sales are dropping, but the reality shows the opposite: gas-powered car sales are actually declining.Despite declines from major automakers like GM, VW, and Tesla, overall EV sales in the U.S. still increased by 7% in Q1, reflecting continued growth in the market.EV sales growth rates have slowed as expected but remain positive globally, rising about 10% in advanced economies,From the Electrek article, “Each journalist who has spent the last year perpetuating the myth of an EV sales slowdown could have read any one of our articles, or googled a single number showing year-over-year EV sales in any region or for most countries and most brands, and found that they are still goinHosts: Paul J Daly and Kyle MountsierGet the Daily Push Back email at https://www.asotu.com/ JOIN the conversation on LinkedIn at: https://www.linkedin.com/company/asotu/ Read our most recent email at: https://www.asotu.com/media/push-back-email

Donald Trump hat in Bloomberg Business ein langes Interview zu seinen Plänen in der Wirtschaftspolitik gegeben. Seine Aussagen sorgen genauso für Gegenwi nd, wie die enttäuschenden Aussichten von ASML. Gestern kursierten zudem Gerückte, dass AMD erste Auftragsstornierungen für den MI300 Server sieht. Gleichzeitig berichtet Bloomberg, dass das Weiße Haus unter Biden eine Verschärfung der Exportrestriktionen von US-Technologie nach China plant. Die Berichtssaison hat sich heute zudem eingetrübt. Neben Daimler Truck kann auch der Transportriese JB Hunt die Ziele nicht erreichen. Die schlechten Zahlen von Below Five sorgen bei der Aktie für deutliche Einbrüche. Im Finanzsektor fallen die Zahlen weiterhin zufriedenstellend aus, unter anderem von Synchrony Financial und der US Bancorp. Bei Johnson & Johnson geht es nach den Ergebnissen leicht bergauf.

The evolution in consumer finance has streamlined the credit-approval process, which is a benefit to both the customer and the retailer. Synchrony Financial shares some tips for success.

The way consumers shop for tires has evolved over the years–you're probably installing more tires from an online purchase than ever before and having conversations with customers who know (or think they know) what tires they need on their vehicle, thanks to the endless amount of information at our fingertips. The pandemic shifted consumers' digital habits into high gear, and according to Synchrony Financial, a dealer's digital presence is impacting the customer's buying experience in a big way.To dig into how this is happening, we dive into Synchrony's latest data around major automotive purchases–those of which include tires. In this episode of What's Treading with Tire Review, presented by AAAPEX, we're joined by Keith Mait, senior vice president and general manager, auto, oil and gas of Synchrony Financial. Keith explains how consumer buying behavior around major automotive purchases is changing and how dealers can be prepared with financing their customers may need.EPISODE OVERVIEW: -Synchrony Financial's auto, oil and gas division and how consumer spending is different in the auto repair space (0:45)- How automotive consumers are saving for planned and unplanned expenses and the buying behaviors that changed as a result of the pandemic (1:51)- The importance of mobile devices in the buying journey and how the digital experience translates to the in-store experience (5:15)- Changing expectations of an automotive consumer's in-store experience and 79% of automotive purchases still happen in-store (9:06)- Services Synchonry provides that help bridge the gap between the digital and in-store experience when it comes to consumer financing (12:53)- How automotive customers are using consumer financing in a post-pandemic world and how dealers can make it more seamless for their customers (15:50)- Why the power of choice in how consumers pay for their automotive and tire service bring repeat business (18:46)Subscribe to the audio version of What's Treading on Apple Podcasts, Spotify, Google and Stitcher.

In this interview, we discuss two strategic decisions IT made to rebuild its technology at the outset of Synchrony and Carol's talent strategy, including why she looked for individuals who wanted to stay beyond the Synchrony's IPO and were willing to learn. We discuss how health and safety has become a requirement of digital transformations, the company's three pronged AI approach around machine learning, intelligent virtual assistants, and RPA, and how the company uses machine learning models to better understand and detect fraud sooner. Lastly, we discuss the COVID-19 pandemic, including three steps the company took that helped it move quickly once the pandemic struck, the massive technology transformation the company undertook to get its associates home in March, steps Carol and the company have taken to support its employees throughout the pandemic, including launching a virtual summer camp and an after school program to help Synchrony parents and kids, among a variety of other topics.

A well-executed data literacy program is essential to make data-driven operations ‘business as usual', argues Synchrony Financial VP of Data Analytics Edgar Abreu in this week's podcast. Data literacy is the cornerstone of a data-driven culture and facilitates effective communication between both technical and non-technical stakeholders at all levels of a business. That is why Edgar Abreu VP of Data Analytics at retail credit card company Synchrony Financial created the Data Intelligence Academy in his organization as he explains in this week's episode of the Business of Data Podcast. “In order to make data and analytics ‘business as usual' everyone need to not only be on board with it but also speak the same language,” explains Abreu. “So there needs to be a certain level of data literacy in the organization.” While most enterprise businesses now understand that being data-driven is the way forward many still struggle to instil a truly data-driven culture. Abreu thinks that this may be driven by a lack of corporate focus on the development of data literacy programs and notes a recent study by market research firm Gartner which found that 80% of businesses are only now rolling out their data literacy programs in 2020. For Abreu, the key is to develop data literacy at all levels of an organization, including for senior leadership, and to start early to help promote a data-driven culture. “Start a data literacy program early,” Abreu advises. “It will make the whole data and analytics journey much more successful, impactful, and more efficient.” Key Takeaways Start your data literacy program early. Implementing a data literacy program early will enhance your whole data and analytics journey Formalize the process. Make sure you have a dedicated resource and funding to develop your data literacy curriculum Close the communication gap. By increasing your data literacy organization-wide you will drive your data-driven culture forward

Make Your Pitch podcasts announces "Launch" Co-Host, Christopher Knight and Ellen J Harris announce the launch of Make Your Pitch podcast. The podcast is designed for Startup Companies to meet investors. The team invites Startups to participate if they can demonstrate a product or service that provides true value as well as being a market disruptor. If the startup has generated revenue, has a list and has their numbers in order, according to Knight and Harris, this is the criteria Investors want to see. Investors care about the return of their investment. The podcast will showcase for the audience what constitutes a good startup candidate. Harris defines the category of investors as Venture Capitalists, Hedge Fund investors, Private Equity, Angel Investors and Private Investors. Startup Companies are not limited to technology. Most importantly, Startups must have a product or service that has commercial viability. Candidates go to http://Make-Your-Pitch.com and apply for consideration to be a guest on the Make Your Pitch podcast. If you are a startup firm, or, you have an existing company looking to add an additional service model in your business, that addition to your business is a potential candidate for Make Your Pitch. Fortune 500 companies call their startups ‘spinoffs'. Think of General Electric and Synchrony Financial. This is a moment where GE's strategic business unit GE Capital was perceived as a bank. GE then spun off GE Capital into Synchrony. This example will help listeners and viewers think of their business differently. Make Your Pitch is compared to Shark Tank. Harris says we are different from Shark Tank. We do not rip guests but provide them a formula from which they can build and improve what they have with the proper presentation. We then invite them to come back and present their startup-firm in a different framework. Not all Startup Companies will have success but if the team believes in their Startup-Firm, believes they can make a real difference in the world, then Make Your Pitch is the right place to showcase your value to Investors. “Do You Have What it Takes” Apply at https://Make-Your-Pitch.com Best of Success to All, Ellen J Harris Christopher Knight
