A Dual-Core Approach for a Sustainable Future
1 – Restore Profitability Today
Suppliers must make their core business profitable enough to finance future investments. This requires transparency on EBIT drivers, decisive action on unprofitable programmes, and a focus on levers with fast and tangible impact. We will show how to identify and address “bleeder” programmes, apply pricing excellence, strengthen claim management, and improve cost structures to restore margins and liquidity.
2 – Build the Future Business
Once the baseline is fixed, suppliers must craft a strategy for the next decade. This means defining where to play and how to win in a rapidly transforming industry. We will discuss how to balance the combustion and electric business, how to shape a focused portfolio, and how to build new capabilities and business models that ensure long-term competitiveness.
