The pressure that players within the automotive supply chain are currently facing is a reoccurring topic in business news coverage. With the global outbreak of Covid-19 and the subsequent lockdowns, the pressure was merely amplified.


We look beyond the influence of the Corona pandemic by conducting a comprehensive outside-in status quo analysis of the automotive supply chain. We use "Engine Ihr GmbH" to depict a worst-case scenario of what might happen, if they do not act right now. Furthermore, we introduce the Trifecta Alignment Framework, which illustrates the ideal status of a company that is ready to tackle the future. We explain where we find tensions within the framework and how to address and eventually ease these tensions properly in order to become more resilient and flexible in the future.

Trifecta Alignment Framework

To further illustrate internal challenges and influences the "Engine Ihr GmbH" is currently facing, we developed the Trifecta Alignment Framework (TAF). The TAF provides a comprehensive overview of potential tensions arising from misalignments among the three areas: strategy, innovation, and transformation.

The core business and the vision of a company are located in the very centre, as it defines what the company does and what it strives for. The core is surrounded by the three main areas to conduct business successfully, namely transformation, strategy, and innovation. Yet, these main areas require to be aligned with the core business and the company’s vision.
