Automotive & Manufacturing

We support Automotive & Manufacturing organisations to drive improvement and build bright futures through the adoption of sustainable transformative change & resolution of complex challenges.

The Automotive and Manufacturing sector has historically been dominated by OEM’s leveraging their size and distribution networks to create strong barriers to entry.

In recent decades these industries have further expanded at pace across emerging economies, as a result of economic growth, significantly impacting global supply chains.

However, we are now witnessing the beginning of a major paradigm shift, with entire ecosystem scrambling to change, because of shifting consumer behaviours, political interventions and the transformative trend towards connected technologies.

We are innovative & experienced problem-solvers, who can assist your organisation to develop transformative programmes, which respond to any number of challenges, including new technology adoption, major regulatory changes, productivity improvement and financial efficiency. We bring peerless change expertise in developing and implementing industry leading solutions.

New entrants, consolidation of traditional brands and revolutionary innovation, shaped by other industry expectations & experiences are fundamentally redesigning & reinventing the sector.

As a result, traditional concepts are rapidly changing, driven by the convergence of four megatrends; electrification, autonomy, connectivity and the sharing economy, which are individually & collectively revolutionising today’s automotive & manufacturing businesses, inspiring disruption and driving the need for change.

To survive & thrive organisations operating in this sector must reinvent themselves across three core dimensions, in order to compete:

Competitive Agility
Balancing equal focus across growth, profitability, sustainability and trust.

Customer Centricity
Understanding customers’ situations, perceptions, and expectations

New Innovative Business Models.
Simultaneously changing the value proposition and underlying operating model.
