Automotive Supply Chain Collaboration and the Technology Challenges Ahead

Presented by Michael Borse, Product Manager, Polarion Software
 
The next generation of the automobile is here and massive changes in the technology they will be equipped with are on the horizon. Consumers will soon choose cars based on more than the traditional variables of color, engine size, etc.
 
Our cars have become rolling computers. It takes dozens of microprocessors running hundreds of millions of lines of code to get a premium car out of the driveway, and the software is only going to get more complex. Engines, transmissions, brakes, airbags, and even power windows are equipped with intelligent electronics. Estimations indicate that more than 80% of car innovation already comes from computer systems. Software has become the major contributor of value, but also of new issues and associated costs.
 
Topping the list of challenges in the new world of software-driven vehicles are the ever-accelerating pace in product development, the need for tight orchestration of all efforts, and the shifting role of suppliers as innovation partners. Automakers and manufacturers that are able to shift gears to meet the growing complexity and emerging trends will be well positioned to secure new market opportunities.

The partners you will rely on to help navigate this changing situation are your suppliers that will collaborate with you to incorporate these rapidly increasing technologies into your products. Is it time to rethink how you collaborate with them before it’s too late?

 
If you require a unified approach to Application Lifecycle Management (ALM) and the integration with PLM - Polarion is the right partner and technology to help you get the most out of your existing business processes to making your organization thrive in the future. To aid in your collaboration with suppliers, Polarion supports ReqIF roundtrip natively without any additional plugins required.
 
Agenda

·         Industry trends

·         Create the right development platforms and processes

·         Real-time collaboration around the globe to maximize opportunity

·         Harmonize transparent exchanges of information for supply-chain collaboration

Business Analysis Webinars for June 2015 - Part II

The Art and Science of Influence
Presented by David Mantica

As organizations flatten to meet the dramatic impacts that disruption and change are having on business, the dynamics of influence are changing rapidly. The old concept of managing up and managing down is being replaced by executing and engaging horizontally throughout the entire organization. To become effective you must show you can get things done while navigating the complexities brought by flat organizations.

Flat organizations might at first seem simple to work through. But the reality is much different. Flat organizations can bring more politics and road blocks as the number of people involved in a decision increase. When you democratize the decision making in an organization, things will slow down and there will be some level of dysfunction.

This presentation will explain why organizations have started to flatten and how professionals can successfully navigate any organization type. We will compare matrix, command and control, and bottom up influence. Then we will look at the psychology of organizational behavior in order to highlight the key professionals skills required to get execution as well as give real-world examples to show different pathways to execution.

Things you will learn in this presentation:

·         Professionals skills required to be a strong influencer

·         Basics of matrix organizations

·         Basics of command and control organizations

·         Basics of self-organized management style

·         High level look at organizational psychology

·         What happens to "bad" or manipulative Influencers, staying away from the "strategy person" trap

·         Tips and techniques to be an executing Influencer

Stress in the Workplace: Using Mind Over Matter to Become a Star Performer

Presented by Casey Mitchell, Instructor and Consultant, Corporate Education Group

Stress occurs when pressure exceeds one’s ability to cope. And it’s no secret that the demands of today’s workplace create more pressure than ever before. Uncertainty in the marketplace, doing more with less, and coping with unhealthy working relationships can cause stress levels to soar. While some stress may actually be good for you by keeping you alert and focused, too much stress can take a toll on your emotional and physical health, not to mention its impact on your work performance. You can become less able to learn and find it tougher to make decisions. The organization pays the price as well. Too much workplace stress diminishes productivity, increases absenteeism and employee turnover, and even adds to the burden of medical and legal costs.

This webinar will help you:

·         Understand the factors that cause job stress.

·         Learn how stress affects your mind, body, mood and behavior.

·         Develop strategies and techniques to reduce your stress levels and boost your performance.

·         Increase personal and organizational well-being.
