Increasing Resilience, Profitability, and Sustainability in the Automotive Industry - Futurum Tech Podcast The Intelligent Enterprise Industry Series

This episode of the Futurum Tech Podcast - Interview Series is part of our newly launched Intelligent Enterprise Industry Series — done in partnership with SAP — where I will be speaking with advisors and executives across ten different industries on how they are focusing on furthering their intelligent enterprise story. I'm excited to welcome Tom Madonna, an executive advisor for the automotive industry at SAP.

 

The Interconnected Automaker

 

SAP recently partnered with Oxford Economics to conduct a research study to identify how an interconnected mindset impacts organizations, including how data has impacted the supply chain and ways organizations are building better workforces. The report includes findings from 3,000 senior executives, including 300 from the automotive sector.

 

My conversation with Tom revolved around the following:

 

• How automotive companies, both original equipment manufacturers (OEMs) and suppliers, are starting to build their mobility services and platforms to gain insights about their products and customers.
• The ways customer insights are allowing organizations to evolve and deliver for the next generation
• How companies within the automotive industry are changing their mindset when it comes to HR and human capital management.
• Collaboration across the supply chain that is requiring more and more data
• Integrating data both internally and externally to drive insights and analytics when going to market.

 

Tom and I explored some of the findings of The Interconnected Automaker report that surprised him the most. We only scratched the surface of the report in our conversation.
