Introduction of Program Management for group-wide projects
Description
In the E&E area (electrics/electronics), products that are used throughout the Group were previously developed and managed on a decentralized basis. As part of a strategic change project, program management was introduced and the execution of projects standardized.
As part of this assignment, the program “Displays, Machine Terminal and Autonomous GPS-supported Driving” was managed. In addition to the development and introduction of the program management, parts of the management including the technical board and the project managers had to be advised and coached. This strategic change project represented the preparation for a successful spin-off of these projects into a separate corporate unit.
