Autobotik 3E Transformation Model

The global automotive industry has undergone a sea of change driven by technologies such as autonomous, electrification and connected vehicles as they converge to accelerate this change. Today’s industry is driven by faster innovation cycles, disruptive technologies with changes in consumer preferences such as mobility-on-demand and public transportation. Fundamental enablers for these changes may be traced to significantly higher computing capability, vastly improved network speeds and hyperbolic advances in software engineering. Besides, there is a new trend in manufacturing and new mobility devices such as EV skateboard platforms, PMDs and smart robotic vehicles. Though the awareness about these changes is widely accepted in the industry, many organizations still struggle to navigate in this maze. While it is obvious that infusion of technical skills and capability is at the core of such transformation, it is simply not enough. It calls for a strategy that involves identifying the right differentiating technology elements under autonomous, electrification and connected space and aligning them with relevant business models. You can find a more detailed elaboration of this in our post : Navigating Transformation .

​

Given this backdrop, Autobotik recommends a structured 3-stage transformation  model that we call the 3E model®. The graphic below shows the essential elements of this model - The “Explore” phase, The “Engage” phase and The “Execute” phase. At Autobotik, we have developed our own templates and processes for each of these phases based on our structured thought process and experience of working with several large and medium organizations.
