IDG, in association with The Society of Indian Automobile Manufacturers (SIAM) and the Automotive Component Manufacturers Association of India (ACMA) brings you the Powershift Symposium, to be held on the sidelines of the Autoexpo 2012 at New Delhi.
In its 6th year now, Powershift focuses on IT usage and its impact on business and productivity in the automotive segment, and aims to aid CIOs and heads of IT from the Indian automotive sector to leverage their domain expertise and provide fresh impetus to their organizations.
This year’s edition is themed "Twin Turbo: Accelerating Sustainable Growth" and will shed light on issues related to how automobile and ancillary organizations can grow without spreading themselves too thin and this calls for strategic investments and resource deployment that takes care of the growth agenda without endangering the organization. In other words - sustainable growth. For instance, there’s good growth and there’s bad growth. Good growth creates a platform for the sustainable health of a successful enterprise, while bad growth creates silos, an unstable foundation and long-term problems that plague even the best of companies. Obviously, sustainable growth calls for much greater collaboration and integration between OEMs and their value chain - both upstream and downstream.
A host of interactive sessions and tech-briefings will explore issues in depth, providing real take-aways and stimulating conversation. Attendees will also enjoy unprecedented networking opportunities.
