How to shape our organization? How to deal with software development in your processes? How can we address the market in automotive, embedded and beyond? How can we work with customers and partners to add value? How can our software business evolve?
It’s a matter of approach and experience.
You want to find out how I can help your organization? Let’s talk.
The industry, especially the automotive industry, is in times of big changes, overdue changes. The market shifts, new players emerge, established ones have to change to survive.
Adaptability is changing the way we structure things, organizations, processes, beliefs. The way how we look at the things our organization does. I help you with this change.
Prof. Dr. Joachim Schlosser can help you and your organization to gain new views on how things are done, and which things shall be done in the first place, to find out what and even more why the organization wants to perform certain things.
Based on more than 20 years of experience in industry, in automotive, in leadership positions, customer facing roles and strategy, I am here to support your organization in times of change. This experience, I also pass on to the next generation of computer scientists and engineers in my professorship.
Supporting your company through the project
My goal is to enable you to act self sustainable.
I believe that a lot of expertise is already within your organization, and those experts should be included.
You take only what you need, and you may say ”we’re fine on our own from here on.”
Remote vs. onsite can always be done as needed. I have successfully helped a OEM to redefine their Infotainment strategy on executive level with pure online workshops.
The right approach is determined by the exact problem at hands and the way your organization functions.
I do not work with the one method, I rather rely on a whole body of possible methods to identify those that fit you and your problem.

FAQs
How do you work on smaller projects?
I want to keep overhead as small as possible, with as much value as possible. So you will not find slide decks over slide decks, but succinct answers and guidance. Results for grown-ups.
Are you only working remote?
While remote consulting is my premier choice to keep overhead small, there are very good reasons to meet in person. When the need occurs, I will be there with you.
How do we start and end a project?
We start lean, focused but with a vision, and we end when the job is done or you are confident enough that you and your organization can finish on your own. My goal is your self-sustainability, to enable you and your organization. I do not want to hang around longer than valuable.
How do you deal with discussions and its results?
Written documentation over repeat discussions and slides. Document alternatives not chosen, too, to overcome survivor bias and save ourselves from re-iterating the same questions over and over again.
Do ask me.
