#AutoTechDetroit did not disappoint this week! My 3 Key Takeaways: • The era of Software Defined Vehicles (SDVs) is here and it’s now a matter of adapting to keep up with the accelerating pace that innovation is taking in mobility. • Women in Automotive Leadership is not just trending - it’s finally happening! Look no further than Ford’s recent CFO across their entire EV sector. • Competitive market pressures across automotive to engineering and manufacturing in particular are immense. These include: driving down cost, creating additional revenue streams and more scalable/enterprise solutions that produce better quality and timely results, which has been amplified to impact OEMs’ bottom line. As a result, we’re seeing a greater need for the right digital technologies to meet these demands and retain talent. Lesson learned: Retaining talent is considered solving for “swapping shirts” from going to one top OEM to another. It’s a #Michigan thing. #AutoTechDetroit #Swapshirts #womeninautomotive #autowomen #detroit #SDV #digitaltransformation #Codebeamer #PTC

The recent challenges at VW and Volvo stepping back from electric vehicles highlight an important lesson: innovation for a low-carbon future is crucial. Its a year since VW’s CEO told staff “the roof is on fire”, echoing Nokia’s CEO a decade earlier ahead of the sudden demise of the phonemaker. Sustainability isn’t a passing trend—it will shape markets and consumers for the next century. Managing around near term business pressures is necessary, but repeatedly we see companies positioning for the long-term in particular around sustainable business strategies deliver outperformance (and the same is true to the contrary). The takeaway? Develop a strong, well-resourced strategy centered in sustainability. #Sustainability #NetZero #Innovation #CarbonMarkets #ClimateAction #Future
