I had the honor of speaking at this year's CDK Global Auto Intel event, sharing the stage with many of my amazing co-workers. Auto Intel is a webinar hosted by CDK for our dealers to gain perspective on insightful market trends, thought leadership for innovative technological shifts, and specific tools they can leverage to manage their business through changing times.

My speech was intended to encourage dealers to think in a new direction, with a grander view. I illustrate real workflow needs and demonstrate how data, when combined with the right business intelligence, can become the ultimate competitive advantage at your dealership.
