Big Bang Theory meets LiDAR

Change management and stories thereof are not new. Most change management efforts fail over time. Change processes can be lengthy, exhausting, and frustrating the longer they prolong. At Ibeo a new approach was followed: the change was initiated fast, unexpectedly, and with no option of going back by disrupting the previously in place system altogether within one minute to the next.

All of this happened May 9th, 2019. Our very own Big Bang. This is the art of the possible. Taking away everything people had known before and letting them create their very own high-functioning system by following self-organisation principles has resulted in an organisation that is more dynamic, lively, and innovative than ever before while disrupting the LiDAR market. Ibeo is currently on track to go from global technology leader to global LiDAR market leader for autonomous vehicles.
