Future of Cars: Birth of the Connected Supplier
The buzz: We’re all connected. Collaboration is not new for automotive sector suppliers. But with digital, real-time computing radically changing how auto suppliers operate their companies and make products, top suppliers need to create connected content for the connected vehicle, in real-time collaboration with their value chain – customers, tier-suppliers, and tech partners. And as the automotive industry converges with tech – as Delphi, Bosch and other suppliers showed at the 2016 Consumer Electronics Show (CES) – will car experts drive the digitization or is a new crop of technocrats needed to take the wheel and drive the industry forward? The experts speak. Rick Varner, Varco Solutions: “Change is inevitable. Growth is optional” (John Calvin Maxwell). Jeff Hojlo, IDC: “To improve is to change; to be perfect is to change often” (Winston Churchill). Bill Newman, SAP: “Be quick, but don’t hurry” (Coach John Wooden).
