Extraordinary circumstances are challenging business continuity in many respects. The uncertainties demand efficient Engineering and Collaboration Models. Those who can beat the odds will reinforce competitiveness. And prepare themselves well for any next big challenges.
Struggling with the magic triangle has increased. How to cope with Cost, Quality, and Innovation to stay ahead? How to boost agility along safety and cybersecurity needs? How to work with distributed teams and deliver high productivity?
#StayCompetitive

WHITE PAPER
Stay Competitive
Success with the New Normal
Markets and technologies are changing fast. The pandemic interrupt has accelerated many changes. Some companies struggle, others take the risk as a chance to innovate. What will be the “new normal”? What are recipes to drive change, rather than being driven by change? What can you learn from technology leaders to stay competitive? Vector has summarized best practices from our recent projects during the lockdown and thereafter. Hands-on industry case studies from Bosch, Daimler, Infineon, Knorr-Bremse, Thales, ZF and Vector emphasize how to succeed with the new normal.
