The Dual-Core Approach

1 — Restore Profitability Today

Before suppliers can invest in future technologies, the existing core must generate enough profit.
This requires transparency on EBIT drivers, rapid action on unprofitable programmes, and a clear focus on levers with fast and tangible impact.

In the webinar, we demonstrate:

  • How to identify and fix “bleeder” programmes

  • How pricing excellence can secure margin uplift

  • How to strengthen claim management and reduce leakage

  • How to optimise cost structures to restore margins and liquidity

2 — Build the Future Business

Once the baseline is stabilised, suppliers must strategically define their position for the next decade.

We explore how to:

  • Balance combustion and electric portfolios

  • Shape a focused and competitive offering

  • Build the capabilities required for new technologies and business models

  • Ensure long-term competitiveness in a rapidly transforming industry
