Implementation and timing: Define your timeline with key milestones and
turning points between now and 2020, when your new company vision
should be fully established. This way, everyone has a clear understanding of
what needs to be achieved by when to reach the long-term target. Always
keep in mind that within the next 2-3 years, key lessons learned and unexpected
changes in the technology and competitive landscape may still
require certain adaptations to the overall strategy.
Organizational change: Develop a detailed transition plan with regard
to product portfolio development, resource allocation, skill build-up,
partnering network and financial implications.
Start this process now; there's no better time for radical thinking and
change management than today. If you don't, the changes around you might
force you to adapt anyway in the coming years, but it will be even more
painful then.
Ultimately, the move toward electric mobility comes down to two things:
viewing and doing. Viewing the future potential in the area, and "doing" by
starting clearly defined projects to build up know-how and gain hands-on
experience.
