Today’s economies are dramatically changing, triggered by development in emerging markets, the accelerated rise of new technologies, sustainability policies, and changing consumer preferences around ownership. Digitization and new business models have revolutionized other industries, and the automotive industry will be no exception. What does this mean for leadership talent and what can companies do to lead and win?
Diverse mobility, electrification, connectivity and autonomous driving are the four major technology-driven trends in the automotive sector, reinforcing and accelerating one another in an industry that is experiencing rapid disruption.
What exactly the automotive industry will look like in 20 or even in 10 years is unclear, with questions about consumer demands, achieving profitability with lower volumes and high technology investments, and dealing with legacy human - and capital resources.
Business leaders only have a brief window of opportunity to reimagine their core operations. They need to make courageous decisions quickly, and to be right, to ensure their survival and success now and in the future. At August Leadership, we work with our clients to identify and develop the leaders who can make this a reality.
