What does this mean for your company?
People become more important
Algorithms and bots will take over repetitive and mundane work. People will set the overarching strategies, develop creative solutions and ensure a good corporate culture and communication. This significantly relieves employees – while continuously increasing value creation in companies.
Managing becomes more precise
Just as the individual components in a car interact intelligently, in a self-driving company highly digitalised sub-functions communicate with each other in real time and steer the overall system with unprecedented precision.
Planning becomes more strategic
The vision of the self-driving company extends far beyond the typical focus of a usual change project and the five-year strategy. Sustainable growth moves into focus, touching four dimensions elementary to a company's success: autonomy, sustainability, resilience and humanity.
SDC: software becomes the future
Reaching the SDC goal is primarily tied to a significant software transformation, as the current software base does not meet these requirements. Knowing the long lifecycles of core software, it is imperative to set the strategic course towards 2035 today.
