  • Converting the record Mobility backlog amid execution concerns.
  • Ensuring FCF consistency amid Mobility cash flow weakness.
  • Sustaining peak margins in the high-growth SI division.
  • Executing DI restructuring amid slowing automation demand.

Question #1

When a key division like Digital Industries faces an operational crisis, does Busch delegate the turnaround to focus on his strategic vision, or does he personally drive the granular operational fixes required to restore performance?

Question #2

Given the cash flow challenges in the Mobility division, does Busch prioritize securing the next large strategic win over ensuring the current record backlog is executed with the operational and financial discipline his track record has previously lacked?

Question #3

Does Busch’s focus on communicating a successful long-term strategic vision come at the expense of fostering a culture of accountability that directly confronts and fixes underlying operational failures?
