Automotive Internet Roundtable October 17 – 19, 2007 • Red Rock Casino, Resort & Spa • Las Vegas, Nevada Dear Colleagues, When I started J.D. Power and Associates nearly 40 years ago, I was driven by the desire to provide information about what customers really thought, which could be used to improve the automotive industry. I was unwilling to “torture the data until it confessed,” or tailor research to fit preconceived ideas and protect the status quo. That idea took a while to get traction, because it was very easy to control information in those simpler days. There were only three networks, entrenched incumbents, and a finite number of print outlets where a message (or criticism) could appear. But, as we’ve all seen in the ensuing years, the Voice of the Customer was heard, and access to information—rather than control of it—became the driver of the industry. Today, I am fascinated by the tremendous ongoing transformation of how the industry designs, markets and delivers vehicles to an increasingly informed, demanding customer set. The Internet is a game changer for all of us—and together, we are reshaping how our industry operates so we can ride that torrent of customer-focused information rather than being swept aside by it. During the next few days here at the J.D. Power and Associates Automotive Internet Roundtable, you’ll acquire the knowledge and tools that will help you turn information into action. Thought leaders from the automotive and media industries will join with fellow front-line practitioners to create a broader understanding of how the Internet can be used to continue to improve the industry and bottom lines. I’m confident that you will find great value in this meeting, and that you will learn, network and come away with new ideas and tools you can use to grow your businesses. Thank you for attending! J.D. Power III Founder J.D. Power and Associates
