There is always a way to win! Myself grew up in the automotive industry by going through quality, testing and engineering departments. I led international pilot projects and set standards in regard to ways of working. Nowadays I'm officially in charge of the project management, including mentoring and teaching project managers in a classic or agile world by enfostering continuous improvement as well as efficiency to achieve constant improving profitability and succesful project closures while creating new talents. Accompanied by organizational and P+L responsibility I always tend to challenge my area to outperform growth & profitability targets. Therefore we are concentrating on transformation of activities, best cost shifts and the extensive usage of AI and automation.
