The automotive sector, traditionally linked with supply chain and TQM, is undergoing a revolutionary transformation. The automotive firm of the future (AFoF) is embracing digital concepts like direct-to-consumer, enhanced customer experiences, and advanced digital product architectures. At this inflection point, AFoF must re-imagine its value chain. Moving from a linear to a collaborative operating model, integrating R&D, engineering, SCM, and more in real-time, will be essential. Technologies like 5G and the metaverse will drive unprecedented interaction and customization. Key industry shifts: - Increased product-to-service capabilities - Direct-to-consumer (D2C) models - Advancements in autonomy - Hyper customization, even for mass-market EVs - Transition to digital product architectures Success in this new era requires not just technology but the right partners and innovative IT models.

IBM Consulting's leadership is undergoing a change as John Granger hands over the reins to Mohamad Ali and Kelly Chambliss. While this news has left many with mixed feelings, let me take a moment to reflect on my three thoughtful interactions with John ... starting from the times when he had a brief stint living in India around 2016-17. This is my tribute to him. #1: John would review each Sector every quarter. My first review with him in 2016 was a disaster. The remote telepresence equipment failed for unknown reasons, the landline phone would not connect, and finally I had to present over a mobile phone speaker with poor audio. I ensured my next few reviews were f2f in Bengaluru, but more importantly, those reviews truly shaped me up for C-level story boarding and pitches. When John learnt I was traveling at my own cost to meet him f2f for the reviews, he immediately instructed that my travels be reimbursed ... very thoughtful of him. #2: John saw me in action in 2017 during a client's CIO meeting he and I had in Delhi for a new logo opportunity with a global enterprise. So, later when I met him at his NYC office late in 2018 and expressed my aspirations towards a leadership role in the US, he supported me wholeheartedly and entrusted our global HR leader Daniel Sturm to work this thru with the US market. While this opportunity progressed, my current role in the Philippines opened up suddenly and I immediately picked it up. Soon, John connected me to the US Sector leader of an account in trouble and asked him to work with me as ... (in his words) ... "Sanjiv can solve anything". That was truly inspiring. #3: There are two people I would openly credit for my progression to an IBM Senior Partner ... Amit Sharma and John Granger. When I met John f2f right after and thanked him, his reaction was like brushing it aside stating he hardly did anything and rather "I earned it" with what I had been doing for IBM's Center in the Philippines. Coming from someone of John's stature, these were truly defining moments of my IBM career. My best wishes to John for his next innings in life starting early 2025. #IBM #IBMConsulting #IBMPhilippines #CICPhilippines

Earlier today , we reported our Q4 and year-end FY24 results.   FY24 proved to be a challenging year—for us and our industry. Despite a tough macro environment, we continued to improve our margins and grow our large deal bookings. I am confident that the building blocks of our strategy are firmly in place.  And while I remain optimistic about the long-term, there is still a considerable amount of work ahead of us.  In the year ahead, we will intensify our focus on five key aspects of our strategy: 1)    Accelerating large deal momentum 2)    Strengthening relationships with large clients and partners 3)    Focusing on industry-specific offerings that are consulting led and AI-infused 4)    Continuing to build talent at scale 5)    Continuing to simplify operating model and focusing on execution rigor with speed The next few months will be crucial as we steer the company towards growth.  I look forward to working with all of you—our clients, partners, and our more than 230,000 Wiproites around the world—to pave the way for the next chapter of growth.

IT industry's competitive intensity to be at highest levels in FY25: HCLTech CEO C Vijayakumar In August 2023, when all the major IT services firms were gripped by slow discretionary spends, Vijayakumar C, CEO and MD, HCLTech, in an investor meet, called out that the company will see incremental growth going forward as the market has bottomed out. This sight of green shoots amid a hazy macro environment came to fruition when the third largest IT service firm reported a healthy 8.3% yearly growth. The third largest software services firm, which has annual revenues of $13.27 billion, reported growth higher than that of larger peers —Tata Consultancy Services which grew at 4.1 % and Infosys which grew at 1.4%. Smaller players like Wipro and Tech Mahindra clearly struggled. https://lnkd.in/dtQ9-DBy By Sameer Ranjan Bakshi and Beena Parmar
