- Jan Kuhlmann, Vice President Group IT Idea to Offer, Quality at BMW Group
In order to achieve successful impact in product development, a demanding goal and an open learning culture in the team are necessary. BMW has set itself the North Star to establish “The New How” based on consistent data. Continuous, integrated mechatronic product development is the new standard. The digitization strategy also focuses on the maximum implementation of GenAI potential to accelerate our innovation process. It is not the content orientation that determines success, but also the selection of our partners, for example in PLM development.
