The Automotive Finance and Automotive Mobility Services Industry currently finds itself in a highly changing environment facing disruption in several areas simultaneously. New technologies, new business models, new competitors and being influenced by ecological and thus political drivers make this industry in an unusually interesting place.
The core finance and leasing business is highly reliant on technology and is typically managed through only one core IT-systems. Replacement of such an IT system is impacting the entire organization and usually leads not only to a change of all existing business processes but in many cases also to strategic changes in the business model itself. Most of the players in the market only have undergone such an intense business transformation for their very first time in the past few years since incorporation of their companies.
The lecture will cover the key lessons learned from the past 10 years in such large scale business transformation projects – these lessons learned can be transferred to a variety of other change projects in different industries.
Among others, the speaker will touch on the following topics in the lecture:
- How to do a feasibility calculation
- Selecting the right (IT)-Vendor(s)
- Program/ Project Approaches
- How to reduce risk on the critical path
- Preparing the organization for change
