During the week from Dec 3rd to Dec 7th we lead a very successful training workshop “Automotive SPICE^® for Managers” at a customer in Detroit. 20 managers met outside the office for 2 days, in order to focus on how to drive the change to establish accepted processes. Firstly, we ensured that we are all on the same page according to motivation, objectives and roadmap. We shared some recent experiences and lessons learned and identified the different personal motivations for the same objective of having accepted processes well established. In a teamwork atmosphere a strategy, approaches and plans were developed and already some concrete actions were derived.
