1 Chart That Shows the Challenge Facing Ford's New CEO

Ford Motor Company (NYSE: F) has a new CEO, Jim Hackett -- and soon, we'll hear about the changes he'll be making to the Blue Oval's business plan.

When he took the job back in May, Hackett promised that he'd spend his first 100 days as CEO conducting a thorough review of the state of Ford's business and its current business plan before presenting his own plan. That presentation is now expected to happen on Oct. 3, at a "strategic update" briefing that Ford has scheduled for analysts and media.

Hackett is a tech-savvy leader who has shown that he can take a big organization through a transformation. It's not too hard to see where he's likely to lead Ford. Already, just in the last week or so, there have been a few hints that Ford is stepping up its efforts with electric vehicles and self-driving technology.
