“The automotive industry is undergoing the biggest changes since its inception. Electric mobility, autonomous driving and the digitisation of vehicles are changing whole organisations and are generating completely new qualification profiles. How are companies dealing with these changes? How do you find leaders who actively drive this change and help to shape it as entrepreneurs?”

Overview of all industries

In light of the overwhelming technological revolution, the automotive industry needs new talent on every level and at all the relevant points of automotive value creation networks. Electrification and digitisation impact not only the vehicle itself, but also have lasting effects on production, logistics, supplier networks and automotive user concepts.

„As a manager in the automotive industry, do I have to speak Chinese?”

Especially at the upper management levels, interdisciplinary competence in mechanical and electrical engineering as well as information technology is continuously increasing in importance. However, leadership skills as well as teamwork and communication skills are most important during this time of change. The different interest groups – clients, employees, and shareholders – want to be both convinced and inspired.

The LAB Automotive Practice knows the challenges facing the automotive industry and helps find the right managers who can convince with contemporary leadership skills and intrinsic motivation.

„Where will the global automotive industry be in 20 years?”
