About the automotive industry
The automotive industry is the leading sector of the German economy. The industry is currently undergoing the biggest transformation since its inception. This is due to intense global competition between traditional car companies and emerging competitors, particularly from the technology sector. Changing customer requirements and increased regulation are further drivers of the disruptive changes in the industry. All this manifests itself in the CASE megatrends:
Connectivity
Autonomous Driving
Sharing & Services
E-Mobility, alternative powertrain, in particular electrification
In order to be successful in this environment, companies need a high level of professionalism, innovative strength, efficiency and implementation expertise. In addition to their own capabilities, companies gain competitive advantages when they strengthen themselves specifically with additional resources on a project related basis and for a limited time.
We, the Interim Managers of the DDIM Automotive Group, serve the companies in the automotive industry.
„The automotive industry is currently experiencing the greatest changes since the beginning of its history. Proven solutions are almost obsolete. The industry has to face the new challenges: E-mobility, autonomous driving, connectivity, sharing and services, digitalisation. All companies in the value chain have to rethink, move, reposition themselves. New solutions must be found quickly. They have to take effect quickly and they have to be highly efficient. In this change scenario, companies in the automotive and mobility industry can benefit by using automotive interim management.
